Canonic MCP Server

The context layer that lets AI agents query your data correctly. Point canonic at your database and it builds the context an agent needs to answer data questions accurately: definitions, relationships, business meaning, and the guardrails that stop confidently-wrong answers. It keeps that context up to date as your data changes, and it never touches your warehouse beyond reading it.

People who work with context layer for ai and data agent and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package canonic - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.mischuh is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
