Fivetran MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.YimingYAN/fivetran-mcp -->

   

Note: This repository is built and maintained entirely by Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding assistant.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for controlling Fivetran data pipelines. Enables AI assistants like Claude to manage syncs, monitor connection status, and control data pipelines through natural language.

Features

• List connections - View all Fivetran connections with status
• Check sync status - Get detailed status for any connection including tasks and warnings
• Trigger syncs - Start syncs on demand
• Historical resync - Trigger full data resync or resync specific tables
• Pause/Resume - Control connection scheduling
• List groups - View all destination groups
• Test connection - Diagnose connectivity and configuration issues
• Schema visibility - View schemas, tables, and columns for any connection
• Reload schema - Refresh schema configuration from the source

Quick Start

Step 1: Get Fivetran API Credentials

1. Log in to Fivetran Dashboard
2. Click your username (top right corner)
3. Click API Key
4. Click Generate API key
5. Copy both the API Key and API Secret (secret shown only once!)

See Fivetran API Getting Started for more details.

Step 2: Store Credentials

Add to your ~/.env.local (or equivalent):

# Fivetran API
export FIVETRAN_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export FIVETRAN_API_SECRET="your-api-secret"

Then reload: ``bash source ~/.env.local ``

Step 3: Verify Credentials

Test that your credentials work:

curl -s -X GET "https://api.fivetran.com/v1/account/info" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic $(echo -n "$FIVETRAN_API_KEY:$FIVETRAN_API_SECRET" | base64)"

Expected response: ``json {"code":"Success","data":{"account_id":"...","account_name":"..."}} ``

Step 4: Configure Claude Code

Add to your ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fivetran": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["fivetran-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "FIVETRAN_API_KEY": "${FIVETRAN_API_KEY}",
        "FIVETRAN_API_SECRET": "${FIVETRAN_API_SECRET}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 5: Restart Claude Code

Restart Claude Code to load the new MCP server. You should now have access to Fivetran tools.

Available Tools

Connection Management

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | list_connections | List all connections, optionally filtered by group | | get_connection_status | Get detailed status including tasks, warnings, and sync details | | trigger_sync | Start a sync for a connection (optional force flag) | | trigger_resync | Trigger full historical resync | | resync_tables | Resync specific tables only (e.g., ["schema.table_name"]) | | pause_connection | Pause a connection | | resume_connection | Resume a paused connection | | list_groups | List all groups/destinations | | test_connection | Run diagnostic tests to identify connectivity/configuration issues |

Schema & Table Visibility

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | get_connection_schema | Get schema info with optional table filter (includes columns when filtering) | | get_schema | Get complete raw schema configuration for a connection | | list_tables | List all tables with enabled status and sync mode | | get_table_columns | Get column details for a specific table | | reload_schema | Refresh schema configuration from the source |

Limitations

The following capabilities are not available via Fivetran's REST API:

| Capability | Status | Notes | |------------|--------|-------| | Column data types | Not available | Query your destination database directly for type info | | Sync history/logs | Not available | Fivetran uses Log Service which streams to external destinations | | Detailed error logs for past syncs | Not available | Only current tasks/warnings are accessible | | Row-level sync status | Not available | Not exposed via API | | Data quality metrics | Not available | Not exposed via API |

For sync logs and historical data, consider setting up Fivetran's Log Service to stream logs to your data warehouse.

Environment Variables

The server supports two naming conventions:

| Preferred | Alternative | |-----------|-------------| | FIVETRAN_API_KEY | FIVETRAN_SYNC_API_KEY | | FIVETRAN_API_SECRET | FIVETRAN_SYNC_API_SECRET |
