DataGalaxy - Prisme.ai

The DataGalaxy app provides full read/write access to the DataGalaxy data catalog API. It can be used either as a Builder app (automations call DataGalaxy instructions directly) or as a remote MCP server consumed by an Knowledges agent.

Catalog Management

Sources, containers, structures, fields, glossary, usages, data processing

Links & Collaboration

Relationships, comments and tasks across any catalog entity

Dual Interface

Use as Builder app or MCP server exposed to agents

Prerequisites

A DataGalaxy account with API access
A Personal Access Token (PAT) or integration token
The DataGalaxy API base URL (default: https://api.datagalaxy.com)

Usage as App
Usage as MCP

Installation

Go to Apps in your workspace
Search for DataGalaxy and install it
Open the app instance configuration and fill in the required fields

Configuration

Field	Description
DataGalaxy API Base URL	Base URL of the DataGalaxy API (default `https://api.datagalaxy.com`)
Authentication Token	PAT or integration token, stored as a workspace secret
MCP Endpoint	Auto-populated on install — URL of the MCP endpoint for this instance
MCP API Key	Auto-populated on install — signed key used in the `mcp-api-key` header. Do not modify

MCP Endpoint and MCP API Key are generated automatically by the onInstall flow and are only needed if you intend to expose this instance as an MCP server (see the next tab).

The DataGalaxy app ships with a built-in MCP server. Each app instance gets its own signed mcp-api-key that encodes the workspace ID and a credentials lookup URL, so no DataGalaxy token is ever passed through headers — credentials are resolved server-side from the app configuration.

Plug into an Agent Creator capability

Agents consume MCP servers directly through Agent Creator capabilities. This is the preferred way to expose DataGalaxy to an agent.

Create or open a workspace

From the Prisme.ai console, create a new workspace (or open the one that will host the connector).

Install the DataGalaxy app

Open the workspace Imports panel, search for DataGalaxy and install it.

Configure the credentials

Open the freshly installed app instance settings and fill in the required fields (see the Usage as App tab for the field-by-field reference).

Copy the MCP endpoint and API key

Still on the app instance configuration page, copy the values of MCP Endpoint and MCP API Key — both are generated automatically on install.

Open Agent Creator

Switch to Agent Creator and open the agent you want to extend.

Add a capability

Add a new capability to the agent:

If a dedicated DataGalaxy capability exists — select it and paste the MCP API Key into the mcp-api-key field. The server URL is already wired.
Otherwise — select the generic custom_mcp capability, paste the MCP Endpoint into the Server URL field, then open the Headers field and add an mcp-api-key entry whose value is the MCP API Key copied earlier:
```
{
  "mcp-api-key": "your-mcp-api-key"
}
```

Save

The agent now has access to every DataGalaxy tool exposed by the MCP server.

Brief the agent in its system prompt

Wiring the capability is not enough — the agent also needs to know the MCP exists and when to reach for it. Add a short paragraph to the agent’s system prompt. Copy-pasteable starter:

You have access to the DataGalaxy MCP server. Use it whenever the user asks about catalog content — sources, models, structures (tables, fields), glossary terms, links, comments or tasks. Examples: "Find all glossary terms tagged GDPR", "List the structures of the Snowflake source", "Add a comment to the customer table", "Create a task to review the orders dataset". Prefer calling MCP tools directly over guessing, and confirm with the user before any destructive action (delete a structure, remove a glossary term, close a task).

Refine the trigger keywords (source names, glossary domains, project tags) so the agent reliably picks up the right intent in your context.

Legacy MCP Install (Advanced > Tools)

Use this flow to plug the DataGalaxy MCP into an Knowledges agent that does not yet support the native MCP picker.

Install the DataGalaxy app

Install and configure the app in the same workspace as your agent (see the Usage as App tab). Once configured, mcpEndpoint and mcpApiKey are auto-populated.

Copy the MCP credentials

Open the app instance config and copy the values of MCP Endpoint and MCP API Key.

Open your Knowledges project

Navigate to Advanced > Tools.

Add an MCP tool

Click Add and select the MCP tab.

Fill in the endpoint

Paste the MCP Endpoint URL copied from the app instance.

Add the auth header

In the Headers field, add the signed API key:

{
  "mcp-api-key": "your-mcp-api-key"
}

Save

The agent can now list and call DataGalaxy tools through the MCP endpoint.

The signed mcp-api-key encodes the workspace ID and the getConfig webhook URL. The MCP server validates the signature using the central app secret and transparently fetches the DataGalaxy accessToken and baseUrl from the installed app. Credentials are cached per tenant for 10 minutes.

Runtime Credential Override

At tool-call time, the MCP server resolves credentials in the following order:

Authorization: Bearer <token> header (optional x-datagalaxy-url for the base URL)
Session credentials set via the configureDataGalaxy tool
Workspace-level credentials from the installed app

This lets you either rely on the installed app configuration or override with per-session credentials from the agent.

    "token": "your-datagalaxy-pat",
    "baseUrl": "https://api.datagalaxy.com"
  }
}

Parameter	Required	Description
`token`	Yes	DataGalaxy PAT or integration token
`baseUrl`	No	API base URL (defaults to `https://api.datagalaxy.com`)

`versionId`	No	Scope the search to a workspace version
`limit`	No	Max results (default: 50)
`filters`	No	Array of `{attributeKey, operator, values}` filter objects

createSource / updateSource / deleteSource

{
  "name": "createSource",
  "arguments": {
    "versionId": "abcd-1234...",
    "name": "Customer Database",
    "type": "Database",
    "owners": ["alice@example.com"],

  }
}

Error Handling

HTTP Status	Error	Solution
401	Unauthorized	Verify the PAT / integration token and `baseUrl`
403	Forbidden	Check DataGalaxy role and scopes on the workspace version
404	Not Found	Verify `versionId`, `objectId` and parent IDs
429	Rate Limited	Back off and retry with exponential delay

Common Issues

“Not configured” — No credentials could be resolved. Either complete the app install with a valid token, pass an Authorization: Bearer header, or call configureDataGalaxy before the first tool call. “Invalid API key” — The mcp-api-key header does not match the central app secret. Reinstall the app instance to regenerate a signed key. “Credentials lookup failed” — The MCP endpoint could not reach the getConfig webhook of the installed app. Verify that the app instance is still installed in the expected workspace.
