Analytixus MCP Server
Analytixus is a metadata-driven development platform built around DnAML (Data and Analytics Markup Language) — you model your data sources, transformations, and documentation once, and generate SQL, pipelines, and docs from that single model instead of maintaining them by hand.
This MCP server exposes an Analytixus DnAML repository to any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot Chat, or your own tooling — so an AI assistant can read and write your metadata model directly.
This repository hosts documentation and configuration guidance for the Analytixus MCP server. The server itself is distributed as a self-contained executable and as a .NET tool (see below).
What it does
- Browse the repository tree — list solutions, sources, and objects in a DnAML model.
- Read and write DnAML nodes — fetch a single object's definition, create or update objects under a source or folder.
- Solution management — list available solutions, add/rename/delete them.
Installation
Option 1 — self-contained download (no runtime required). Pre-built archives for Windows, macOS, and Linux are available on request from the Analytixus team.
Option 2 — .NET global tool (requires the .NET 8 runtime):
dotnet tool install --global Analytixus.Mcp
This installs the analytixus-mcp command.
Configuration
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"analytixus": {
"command": "analytixus-mcp",
"args": ["--stdio"],
"env": {
"ANALYTIXUS_SOLUTION_PATH": "/path/to/your/dnaml-solution",
"ANALYTIXUS_SOLUTION_NAME": "YourSolutionName"
}
}
}
}
(If you installed the self-contained archive instead of the .NET tool, use the full path to the
extracted Analytixus.Mcp executable as command.)
VS Code / Claude Code
claude mcp add --env ANALYTIXUS_SOLUTION_PATH=/path/to/your/dnaml-solution \
--env ANALYTIXUS_SOLUTION_NAME=YourSolutionName --scope user \
analytixus -- analytixus-mcp --stdio
Environment variables
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
ANALYTIXUS_SOLUTION_PATH | Path to the DnAML solution's root folder. |
ANALYTIXUS_SOLUTION_NAME | Name of the solution — pins this server instance to it. |
ANALYTIXUS_LOG_LEVEL | Trace|Debug|Info|Warn|Error|Fatal (default Info). |
