Fivetran MCP Server

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

Log in to Fivetran Dashboard
Click your username (top right corner)
Click API Key
Click Generate API key
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:

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:

{"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.
