Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@iceDQ MCP Server Profile the orders table and suggest data quality checks"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
The iceDQ MCP Server lets you manage your entire data quality lifecycle through conversation in Claude Desktop. Ask Claude to explore your data sources, create validation rules, run reconciliations, monitor executions, and analyze results — no UI switching required.
48 tools covering the full data quality lifecycle:
Capability | What you can do |
Data Exploration | Browse workspaces, connections, databases, schemas, tables, and columns |
Data Profiling | Fetch real sample data and analyze quality metrics (nulls, patterns, types) |
AI Suggestions | Get intelligent check recommendations based on your data profile |
Validation Rules | Create row-level rules with NotNull, Format, ValidValues, Length, Date, and Custom Groovy checks |
Duplicate Detection | Identify duplicates on business keys, composite keys, or conditional criteria |
Pushdown Rules | SQL-driven aggregate validation (GROUP BY, JOINs, referential integrity) |
Checksum Rules | Cross-source comparison (row counts, sums) between two different connections |
Reconciliation | Row-level cross-source matching with AI-powered join key and column mapping |
Workflows | Chain multiple rules into sequential execution workflows |
Schedules | Automate rule execution with one-time, daily, or weekly schedules |
Execution & Monitoring | Run rules on demand, track status, and view exception reports |
Organization | Manage folders, move rules in batch, create reusable parameters |
