Agent clients
Install the DataPorch plugin and connect a local MCP client over stdio.
DataPorch ships client skills and plugin metadata separately from the Go runtime.
The bundled plugins invoke dataporch mcp over stdio and connect to the
running same-machine runtime through its owner-only Unix socket. A configured
source is required, but local plugin users do not create or export an MCP
token.
Both clients use the same MCP workflow: discover sources, resolve exact identifiers, then issue a bounded read-only query. The plugin does not support a configurable endpoint, static credential, OAuth fallback, or an alternate token variable. Direct HTTP clients can use the separate bearer-token flow described in the database connection guide.
