Connect the MCP Server

Connect the BEEM data platform to AI assistants. Explore workspaces, query datasets, build SQL views, monitor pipelines, and manage dashboards — all through natural language.

👍
Quick Start
In Claude, open the BEEM listing in the connectors directory and click Connect.
In another assistant, paste this in:
Add the BEEM MCP server with URL https://mcp.beemdata.com/mcp using HTTP transport at user scope. It uses OAuth — I'll authenticate when prompted.

Server URL

https://mcp.beemdata.com/mcp

Setup by Client

Open the BEEM listing and click Connect, or find it from inside Claude:

Select Customize in the sidebar, then Connectors
Click the + button next to Connectors
Search for BEEM and select it
Click Connect and sign in with your BEEM account

Turn BEEM on or off for a given chat from the + button in the message box, under Connectors.

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user beemdata https://mcp.beemdata.com/mcp

The --scope user flag makes BEEM available in all your projects. A browser window opens to authenticate on first use.

Add to your VS Code settings JSON:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "beemdata": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://mcp.beemdata.com/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or create a .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "beemdata": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.beemdata.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart VS Code. Copilot will prompt you to authenticate on first use.

Any client that supports Streamable HTTP transport will work.


Server URL	`https://mcp.beemdata.com/mcp`
Auth	OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (authorization code flow)
Discovery	`https://mcp.beemdata.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`
Registration	Dynamic client registration supported

Examples

Explore and query data

"Show me the datasets in my workspace and query the first one"

Retrieves your workspaces, lists available datasets, fetches details including SQL and schema, then queries content and returns sample rows.

Create and deploy SQL

"Create a dataset called 'Monthly Revenue' that aggregates revenue by month, then deploy it"

Creates a new dataset, saves SQL as draft, previews results, then deploys it as a live Redshift view with scheduling.

Monitor pipelines

"Check if any of my data pipelines failed in the last 24 hours"

Lists recent pipeline events filtered by failure status, identifies affected datasets and sources, shows error details and DPU usage.

Troubleshooting

BEEM isn't showing in your connectors list

Add it with the server URL instead. Go to Customize → Connectors, click Add custom connector, enter name BEEM and URL https://mcp.beemdata.com/mcp, then click Add. On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin does this from Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web.

Session terminated / Session expired

Your session may have been lost after a server update. Simply retry — the client will re-authenticate automatically.

Authentication fails or loops

Make sure you're signing in with a BEEM account that has access to at least one workspace. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the MCP server.

Tool returns 'not found' errors

The MCP server uses your BEEM permissions — you can only access resources your account has access to. Verify you have access to the workspace or dataset in question.
