### Description (declared)

# opteryx-mcp

Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code and other MCP clients to
[Opteryx](https://opteryx.app). Ask questions about your data in plain English;
the assistant finds datasets, reads schemas, queries, and checks Opteryx SQL,
all as you and against only the data you can see.

```bash
uvx opteryx-mcp login --user <user>
```

## Why a local bridge

The Opteryx MCP endpoint (`https://agent.opteryx.app/mcp/`) takes a bearer
token, and access tokens last five minutes. A token pasted into a client's
config stops working almost immediately. `opteryx-mcp` holds a **user** and a
**personal access token** instead, exchanges them for a fresh access token a
minute before each one expires, and forwards everything the client sends.
It also re-mints if a token is rejected, and re-opens the MCP session if the
server forgets it.

It has no dependencies beyond the Python standard library.

## Setup

### 1. Create a personal access token

In Opteryx Studio, open **Settings** and create a personal access token. It
looks like `opt_..._01`, lasts 90 days by default, and is shown once.

### 2. Store it

On macOS, `login` stores the token in the Keychain and checks it works.
`security` prompts for the token, so it never appears in shell history:

```bash
uvx opteryx-mcp login --user <user>
```

```
Connected to https://agent.opteryx.app/mcp/ as <user>.
7 tools: search_datasets, get_dataset_schema, query_dataset, profile_column, lookup_sql_syntax, search_docs, validate_sql
```

Run it again to replace an expired token. On other platforms, set
`OPTERYX_TOKEN` in the client's config instead.

### 3. Add it to your client

**Claude Desktop.** Print the config entry:

```bash
uvx opteryx-mcp config --user <user>
```

Then **quit Claude Desktop (Cmd-Q)** and merge the entry into
`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`, keeping the
file's other keys. Desktop rewrites that file when it quits, so an entry added
while it is running is silently dropped. The entry lo…
