Datris — The First AI Agent-Native Data Platform

datris.ai · Documentation · MCP Registry · PyPI

Ingest, validate, transform, store, and retrieve your data — whether you're an AI agent talking through MCP or a developer writing config. One platform for both.

Why Datris?

• Agent-native — Built-in MCP server with 47 tools. Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent can operate pipelines through natural conversation

• Taps — AI-generated Python scripts that fetch data from external sources (APIs, web scraping, databases) and push it into pipelines. Describe what you want, Datris generates the script. Includes AI diagnosis, CRON scheduling, and credentials via Vault

• AI at every stage — AI data quality, AI transformations, AI schema generation, AI profiling, AI error explanation, natural language queries, RAG

• No vendor lock-in — 100% open-source infrastructure (MinIO, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka, Vault). Runs anywhere Docker does

• Configuration-driven — Define pipelines through JSON. No code required

Quick Start

You only need Docker. This pulls pre-built images and runtime files, seeds a .env, and starts the stack into ./datris — no git checkout required:

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

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
docker compose up -d

UI: http://localhost:4200 · API: http://localhost:8080

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 hosted/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.

CLI

brew tap datris/tap
brew install datris
datris ingest data.csv --dest postgres
datris ingest sales.csv --ai-validate "prices > 0" --ai-transform "convert dates to YYYY/MM/DD"
datris query "SELECT * FROM sales"
datris search "quarterly revenue" --store pgvector
datris tap create "Fetch S&P 500 daily prices from yfinance" --pipeline stocks
datris taps

What It Does
