Data Dictionary MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that coordinates AI agents to transform database tables into Wikipedia-style data dictionaries.
Overview
The Data Dictionary MCP project automates the conversion of various database formats into comprehensive, human-readable data dictionaries using AI-powered analysis and description. It leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to coordinate AI agents for analyzing, describing, and verifying database structures.
Features
- Multi-Format Support: Process JSON, CSV, and Plain Text files (with more formats planned)
- AI-Powered Analysis: Generate field descriptions and identify relationships
- MCP Integration: Coordinate AI agents using the Model Context Protocol
- Schema Extraction: Extract database schemas from various formats into a unified representation
- Wikipedia-Style Output: Present data dictionaries in a familiar, accessible format
Project Status
This project is in active development. See the Project Roadmap for details.
