Prerequisites

  • A Summand account at summand.com
  • An OAuth-aware MCP client — claude.ai, ChatGPT, or any other client that supports remote MCP servers

1. Upload a dataset

  1. Sign in at summand.com.
  2. Create a connector — upload a CSV or connect a database.
  3. Wait for the analysis pipeline to finish. The dataset shows as Ready when its semantic layer is built.
Each dataset gets an ID of the form ds_019… (UUIDv7). You’ll use these IDs when referencing datasets in your assistant.

2. Connect your AI client

Point your client at the Summand MCP endpoint:
https://mcp.summand.com/mcp
Most clients only ask for the URL — they handle the OAuth sign-in for you. See the connect a client page for step-by-step claude.ai and ChatGPT setup.

3. Try it out

Once connected, ask your assistant:
List my Summand datasets.
The client will call the list_datasets tool and return your datasets with their IDs, status, and last-updated time. From there you can drill into columns, surprise findings, EBM graphs, and more.
See the tools reference for every prompt-friendly capability the server exposes.

Going further

If you want to call the Summand REST API directly (for scripts, automation, or your own integrations), generate an API key from your account settings.
