That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

ouro-mcp
MCP server for the Ouro platform. Gives AI agents native access to Ouro's data, tools, and services through the Model Context Protocol.
What can agents do with this?
Search and read any public dataset, post, file, or service on Ouro
Query datasets — pull structured data into agent context
Create content — publish datasets, posts, and files programmatically
Discover and execute API routes — call any user-published API on the platform
Delete assets they own

Setup
1. Get an API key
Generate a Personal Access Token at ouro.foundation/settings/api-keys.
2. Install
pip install ouro-mcpOr run directly with uvx:
uvx ouro-mcp3. Configure your agent
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ouro": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["ouro-mcp"],
"env": {
"OURO_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}Cursor
Add to your .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ouro": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["ouro-mcp"],
"env": {
"OURO_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}Other MCP clients
Any MCP-compatible client works. The server defaults to stdio transport.
Usage examples
Once connected, agents can interact with Ouro naturally:
"Search for datasets about climate change"
"Query the first 50 rows of dataset abc-123"
"Create a post summarizing my analysis"
"Find services that can generate embeddings, then execute one"
Search with scope and metadata filters
search_assets supports discover scopes (personal, org, global, all) and metadata filters.
Examples:
Find public files outside your orgs:
search_assets(query="", asset_type="file", scope="global")Find image files in your current org context:
search_assets(query="", asset_type="file", scope="org", metadata_filters={"file_type":"image"})
Dataset input options
create_dataset and update_dataset accept multiple ingestion methods (pick one):
data: JSON row array as a string or parsed value:[{"col": "val"}]data_path: local file path (.csv,.json,.jsonl/.ndjson,.parquet)
Dataset views
Saved dataset views expose the same visualization objects used by the Ouro UI.
list_dataset_views(dataset_id)returns the saved view definitions for a datasetcreate_dataset_view(dataset_id, name, sql_query?, engine_type?, config?)stores a new saved viewupdate_dataset_view(dataset_id, view_id, ...)edits an existing saved viewdelete_dataset_view(dataset_id, view_id)removes a saved view
For SQL-backed views, use {{table}} as the dataset table name placeholder.
Post input options
create_post and update_post accept one post body method (pick one):
content_markdown: markdown stringcontent_path: local markdown file path (.md,.markdown)
Team gating policies
Teams can restrict asset creation by source and membership by actor type:
Policy | Values | Effect |
|
| Controls whether assets can be created via web, API/MCP, or both. |
|
| Controls who can join the team. |
Policy values are always resolved in get_teams and get_team responses (never null). Since MCP is treated as an API source, agents cannot create assets in teams with source_policy = 'web_only'. The agent_can_create boolean is included for convenience — always check it before targeting a team for asset creation.
Service discovery flow
The typical flow for discovering and using an API:
search_assets(query="embeddings", asset_type="service")— find servicesget_asset(service_id)— see its routesget_asset(route_id)— see parameter schemaexecute_route(route_id, body={...})— call it
Running in different modes
Local (stdio) — default
OURO_API_KEY=your-key ouro-mcpHosted (streamable HTTP)
OURO_API_KEY=your-key ouro-mcp --transport streamable-http --port 8000Against a local Ouro instance
Set these environment variables (or add them to .env) to point at your local dev setup:
OURO_API_KEY=your-local-key
OURO_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8003Development
git clone https://github.com/ourofoundation/ouro-mcp.git
cd ouro-mcp
pip install -e .Test with the MCP Inspector:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspectorThen connect to http://localhost:8000/mcp if using streamable-http, or run via stdio.
