What is Synapse MCP Server?
Synapse MCP Server is a middleware service that allows users to access and manage various data entities on the Synapse platform in a simple way through the standardized Model Context Protocol (MCP). Whether you are a researcher or a data analyst, you can easily obtain resources such as projects, datasets, and files, as well as their metadata through this service.How to use Synapse MCP Server?
You can use this service through simple HTTP requests or by integrating with AI tools such as Claude. First, you need to install the service and configure authentication, and then you can access Synapse data through the REST API. The service supports two authentication methods: API key and OAuth2.Use Cases
This service is particularly suitable for the following scenarios: - Application development that requires programmatic access to Synapse data - Integrating Synapse data into the workflows of AI assistants (such as Claude) - Bulk retrieval and management of metadata for multiple Synapse entities - Building data catalogs or metadata management systemsMain Features
Entity AccessGet detailed information about Synapse entities (datasets, projects, folders, files, tables) by ID or name.
Annotation ManagementGet and query annotation information (metadata) of entities.
Flexible QuerySupport multiple query methods: query entities by type, parent entity, name, or custom conditions.
Table QueryUse SQL-like syntax to query Synapse table data.
Secure AuthenticationSupport two authentication methods, OAuth2 and API key, to ensure data security.
Croissant FormatSupport obtaining dataset information in Croissant metadata format.
Advantages and Limitations
