# Set up DX MCP Server

> Connect DX's hosted MCP server to TrueFoundry with per-user or shared bearer tokens.

DX's MCP server exposes Data Cloud and software catalog context, including snapshot queries, catalog entities, relationships, and scorecards.

## Prerequisites

* A TrueFoundry account with permission to add MCP servers.
* A DX account with Data Cloud access.
* Personal or organization tokens with the required read scopes.

## Create a DX Token

Use a personal access token for per-user attribution, or an organization token for shared read-only access. Enable only the scopes required:

| Capability       | Scope             |
| ---------------- | ----------------- |
| Data Cloud reads | `snapshots:read`  |
| Software catalog | `catalog:read`    |
| Scorecards       | `scorecards:read` |

## Register in TrueFoundry

Add a remote MCP server with:

| Field              | Value                      |
| ------------------ | -------------------------- |
| **Name**           | `dx`                       |
| **URL**            | `https://ai.getdx.com/mcp` |
| **Authentication** | API Key or bearer token    |

For per-user tokens, choose **Individual Credentials** with `Authorization: Bearer {{API_KEY}}` and have users add Auth Overrides. For a shared organization token, choose shared credentials.

## Security Notes

Personal tokens follow each user's DX permissions. Organization tokens run as a shared identity, so keep scopes narrow and rotate them from the DX admin settings.
