# Datum MCP

> Datum's official MCP server helps builders connect AI tools to their Datum projects and integrates with popular AI assistants like Cursor.

Datum’s official [MCP server](https://github.com/datum-cloud/datum-mcp) helps you connect AI tools to your Datum projects using an open standard, the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP). Datum MCP gives AI tools secure access to your Datum resources. You can understand their current state, suggest and implement changes, and diagnose common configuration issues.

Datum MCP integrates with popular AI assistants like Cursor, enabling you to view and manage:

* Organizations
* Users
* Projects
* Domains
* Proxies
* APIs (CRDs list/describe)

Datum MCP implements the latest [MCP Authorization](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/authorization) specifications and supports OAuth 2.1 (PKCE) auth or macOS Keychain token storage.

<Info>
  Using `datumctl`? See [Connecting an AI client with the MCP server](/datumctl/ai/mcp-server) for how the CLI docs frame this server and when to reach for it. Prefer to stay in the terminal instead? `datumctl` has a built-in assistant that answers questions in natural language without a separate MCP client — see the [AI assistant](/datumctl/ai/assistant) guide.

**Install** - We offer three ways to get started:

1. Quick install
2. Manual download
3. Add to Cursor locally

Visit the [Datum MCP repo on GitHub](https://github.com/datum-cloud/datum-mcp) for more information.

From the command line, this will install Datum MCP on your system:

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://github.com/datum-cloud/datum-mcp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
```

The [latest release](https://github.com/datum-cloud/datum-mcp/releases/latest) is available at [https://github.com/datum-cloud/datum-mcp/releases/latest](https://github.com/datum-cloud/datum-mcp/releases/latest). Binaries are available for Linux, MacOS and Windows on x86 and arm64 versions.

Add this to your AI client config to run the server via stdio.

```json theme={null}
{
  "datum-mcp": {
    "command": "datum-mcp",
    "args": []
  }
}
```

To add the Datum MCP to Cursor, this one-click command will suffice:  [Add to Cursor](https://cursor.com/en-US/install-mcp?name=datum-mcp\&config=eyJ0eXBlIjoic3RkaW8iLCJlbnYiOnt9LCJjb21tYW5kIjoiL3Vzci9sb2NhbC9iaW4vZGF0dW0tbWNwICJ9)

**Auth Flow** - When you first use Datum MCP, the server opens a browser for OAuth (PKCE), then stores credentials (including a refresh token) in the system keychain. Subsequent calls reuse/refresh the token from the keychain automatically.
