Questions

Datris — The Data Control Plane for AI Agents

datris.ai · Documentation · MCP Registry · PyPI

⭐ If Datris is useful to you, star the repo — it helps other people find it.

Agents ask Datris for data. Datris finds it, acquires it, validates it, lands it in the stores you already run, and returns it with provenance — over MCP, without ever holding your keys. It sits beside your warehouse and lake; it doesn't replace them.

See it in 90 seconds — describe the data you need, and the Assistant builds the tap, runs it, and lands the data:

Your agents already acquire, validate, and load data. Without a control plane, they do it badly. Datris puts that work behind one governed surface:

One MCP door — 79 tools behind a single MCP server. Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent learn one interface instead of 79 integrations
Vault-brokered credentials — the agent references a secret by name and never holds a key; agent-written code runs in an isolated container with no keys inside
Scoped keys, approval gates, audit log — each agent gets its own API key limited to the capabilities you grant; an agent policy decides per action whether an agent runs it, waits for a person to approve, or is refused; an audit log, once you turn it on (USE_AUDIT_LOG=true), records who did what, best effort by default and without loss in strict mode
Every run recorded — job state and row counts for every run, provenance on its rows with stamping on; every generated script versioned in git
Durable state — pipelines and sync bookmarks live in the platform, not the chat, so regenerating a script never loses its place
The operating loop — Acquire (AI-generated taps) → Validate (plain-English rules) → Land (multi-destination pipelines) → Observe (provenance and job state) → Explain & Repair (AI error explanation), with the same audit trail every time once the audit log is on (see strict mode)
Self-host anywhere — on-prem, any cloud, or your laptop; 100% open-source infrastructure (MinIO, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Vault), AGPL-3.0, no managed service

Quick Start

You need Docker and one AI provider key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Grok, Azure OpenAI, or Amazon Bedrock). This pulls pre-built images and runtime files, seeds a .env, and starts the stack into ./datris — no git checkout required. The installer asks for the key:

curl -fsSL https://get.datris.ai/install.sh | sh

Installing from a coding agent or a CI job with no terminal attached? Export the key first (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, or another provider's): the installer asks nothing and reads it from the environment. Then check http://localhost:8080/api/v1/version answers before going on. Full steps: Install for Agents.

Minimal install (laptop-friendly). The default stack runs about ten containers and the bundled embedding server downloads a 2.2 GB model on first boot. None of that is required. Three settings in .env cut it to eight small containers, no download, and roughly 3.5 GB of memory (4 GB of Docker memory is enough; the full stack wants 8 GB):

TEI_ENABLED=0               # skip the local embedding server and its 2.2 GB download
EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=openai   # semantic search via OpenAI (needs OPENAI_API_KEY); omit if you have no OpenAI key
POSTGRES_ENABLED=0          # optional: skip bundled Postgres; MongoDB stays as the destination

The installer sets the first two when you choose OpenAI embeddings. The datris server itself runs on a 2 GB heap by default. Details: Installation → Minimal install.

The install.sh installer is a POSIX shell script (macOS/Linux). On Windows, run it from WSL2 or Git Bash, or use the single-file Compose option below, which works natively in PowerShell.

A fully self-contained Compose file — the init scripts and config are inlined, so nothing else is needed (requires Docker Compose ≥ 2.23):

# macOS / Linux
curl -O https://get.datris.ai/docker-compose.standalone.yml
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... docker compose -f docker-compose.standalone.yml up -d

# Windows (PowerShell) — use curl.exe, and set the key with $env:
curl.exe -O https://get.datris.ai/docker-compose.standalone.yml
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
docker compose -f docker-compose.standalone.yml up -d

git clone https://github.com/datris/datris-platform-oss.git
cd datris-platform-oss
cp .env.example .env       # Add your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and/or OPENAI_API_KEY (or the AZURE_OPENAI_* trio, XAI_API_KEY, or AI_PROVIDER=bedrock)
docker compose up -d

Connect an AI Agent

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.). With the Docker stack running, the npx mcp-remote stdio bridge connects to the bundled MCP server on port 3000 — your client appears in the Datris UI Agent Monitor tab with live tool-call streaming:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datris": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "http://localhost:3000/sse", "--transport", "sse-only"]
    }
  }
}

Paste-and-go for the default local setup — no API key required when USE_API_KEYS=false (the OSS default). If your instance enables auth (USE_API_KEYS=true or multi-tenant), append "--header", "x-api-key:<your-key>" to the args array. The Configuration → Connect Your Agent page generates the snippet for you and adds the header automatically when you paste your key.

Requires Node.js on your PATH (brew install node). For a stdio alternative without Docker, or full Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor walkthroughs, see Configuring Claude.

To teach the coding agents in your own projects (Claude Code, Codex, and similar) to use Datris for data work, install the datris-platform skill from skills/ — see Agent Skill.
