  "what_it_does": "The transformation layer of the modern data stack: SQL models, tests and documentation compiled and run against a warehouse, with a hosted \"dbt platform\" (formerly dbt Cloud) that adds scheduling, a Semantic Layer, a Catalog and a remote MCP server.",
  "ai_features": "dbt Copilot (AI-assisted model and test authoring) and the text_to_sql MCP tool are the AI surface; the docs state \"Only text_to_sql consumes your dbt Copilot action allotment. Other MCP tools do not.\" The rest of the MCP is metadata, Semantic Layer queries and SQL execution.",
  "mcp_status": "official",
  "mcp_url": "https://YOUR_DBT_HOST_URL/api/ai/v1/mcp (per account, for example https://cloud.getdbt.com/api/ai/v1/mcp/; docs: https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/dbt-ai/setup-remote-mcp; open-source local server: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-mcp)",
  "mcp_auth": "oauth (beta) or token. The docs state \"OAuth lets you connect to the remote MCP server without copying API tokens into your MCP client\" and limit OAuth to \"Starter, Enterprise, or Enterprise+\" accounts; token auth sends \"Authorization: Token YOUR_DBT_ACCESS_TOKEN\" (or Bearer) plus an x-dbt-prod-environment-id header, and \"If you plan to use execute_sql with token-based auth, you must use a Personal Access Token (PAT)\"; \"Service tokens do not work for execute_sql\".",
  "api_gate": "paid - the pricing page lists Developer as free (one seat, \"3,000 successful models built per month\", with no API access in its feature list), Starter at \"$100 per user/month\" whose feature list includes \"API access\", and Enterprise and Enterprise+ at custom pricing; the remote MCP's OAuth path is documented for Starter and above only.",
  "revops_role": "The modelling layer between the warehouse and reverse-ETL; the MCP lets an agent read model lineage and metrics from the Semantic Layer and, with the right token, run SQL, instead of guessing at raw tables.",

  "notes": "Probed 2026-09-07: POST of an MCP initialize to https://cloud.getdbt.com/api/ai/v1/mcp/ returned HTTP 401 with an nginx \"401 Authorization Required\" page; the control POST to /zzz-not-a-route on cloud.getdbt.com returned 405 MethodNotAllowed from a storage front end. The two paths are handled by different layers and the 401 is specific to the API route, but the control did not return 404, so this is recorded as a live auth-gated server behind a non-standard control result. The endpoint is per account (the docs say to copy the \"MCP Endpoint URL\" from Account settings, Access URLs), which is why the entry carries the pattern and a representative host rather than a single canonical URL. The free Developer plan is real but its pricing card lists no API access, so a solo operator should expect the remote MCP to need Starter. 2026-09-07: https://cloud.getdbt.com/api/ai/v1/mcp/ returned 401 to an MCP initialize POST (https://cloud.getdbt.com/api/ai/v1/mcp/).",
