MCP server · Dimensions

dimensions-mcp.yml

Digital Science publishes first-party MCP servers for Dimensions. The flagship is the Dimensions Analytics MCP — an open-source (MIT) local stdio server on npm that exposes 27 tools plus 10 resources over the Dimensions DSL API using the subscriber's own API key. A second, separately reachable remote MCP endpoint runs on the www.dimensions.ai WordPress site and is OAuth-gated. A third server, Dimensions Semantic Search MCP, was announced 2026-08-10 but is request-access only with no public endpoint or package.

⚠ Proposed MCP surface. No official hosted MCP server was found for Dimensions. The tools below are a candidate set derived from this provider's API, and the link points at the source descriptor rather than a live server. If Dimensions publishes an official server, this page will update to it on the next build.

About MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.

Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.

Work with this as data

Every MCP server here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
