Datatape Documentation
Learn how to give your AI agents secure access to your data with Datatape.
Welcome to Datatape
Datatape lets you connect databases and APIs, define SQL-based tools with typed parameters, and expose them as secure MCP endpoints that AI assistants can call.
Quick links
Quickstart
Go from zero to a working MCP endpoint in 5 minutes.
Connect a source
Connect PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Google Sheets.
Create a tool
Define a SQL template with typed parameters.
MCP endpoints
Expose tools to Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor.
How it works
- Connect a source — Add your database credentials. Datatape encrypts them at rest and never exposes them to AI agents.
- Define tools — Write SQL templates with
{{parameters}}. Each tool is a fixed query that AI agents can call with typed inputs. - Create an agent — An agent gets an embedded API key for programmatic access to your MCP endpoint.
- Connect AI clients — Point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client at your org's MCP endpoint. They see tools, not databases.
