Keboola MCP: MCP server, setup and security

What Keboola MCP does

According to its repository: “Connect your AI assistants to Keboola and expose your data, transformations, SQL queries, ...”

An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Keboola MCP is listed under Databases, a category of 138 servers in the directory, where it ranks #75 by stars.

Topics declared by the repository: data-platform, etl-pipeline, keboola-platform.

Installing and connecting Keboola MCP

Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:

• PyPI package (Python, started with uvx or pip)
• remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally

Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: Python.

Security: what to check

An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.

None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Keboola MCP. That does not replace reading the code.

Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.

Project activity and maintenance

Created on January 12, 2025, the keboola/mcp-server repository has 85 stars and 24 forks, with 17 open issues. It has more stars than 63% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 1.105.1 (October 22, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
