Guides

Practical workflows for connecting sources and using DataPorch from developer tools.

Database connections — import sources through the local admin socket.
Agent clients — install and configure the Codex and Claude Code plugins.
Troubleshooting — diagnose startup, authentication, discovery, and plugin failures.

The runtime and the client plugin are separate. The runtime owns source configuration and execution; the plugin teaches the client how to call MCP tools. Installing a plugin does not install or launch the runtime.
