# dbt — AI Connector dbt publishes 60 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/dbt/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Data & Analytics](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/) # dbt Browse, query and run dbt projects and the semantic layer Listed in Claude · 60 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/dbt-ai/about-mcp) [getdbt.com](https://www.getdbt.com/) Overview ## What dbt does dbt organises analytics transformation into models with declared dependencies, and this connector exposes that structure. Models, sources and lineage can be browsed, which answers the question that usually comes first: what does this number depend on. Metrics come from the semantic layer, so a figure matches the definition the project already agreed on instead of one reconstructed in SQL. Jobs on the dbt platform can be triggered from the same place, which covers the step after a change is understood. This connector carries the partner tier, meaning it passed a review step rather than being self-published, and dbt Labs publishes documentation. ### Who it is for Analytics engineers working in dbt who want project context and job control in one place. ### Tool surface The listing publishes no endpoint URL, so nothing could be connected to and sixty is dbt Labs' own count. The listing places model and source browsing, lineage, semantic-layer metric queries and job triggering among them. Availability ## Where dbt is listed dbt is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. dbt Labs has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory dbt publishes 60 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 92.8% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one runs 48 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 10th of 198 by tool count. It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory. dbt's Claude listing does not publish an endpoint URL. 48 of the 1,253 Claude listings are in the same position: real listings with documentation but no URL in the directory record, so the endpoint has to come from the publisher's own docs. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher dbt Labs Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Data & Analytics Endpoint Not published in the listing Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/dbt-ai/about-mcp) Published tools 60 · 51+ tools band Depth rank in Data & Analytics 10 of 198 Snapshot August 2026 dbt carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
