Step 3-3 min
Set Up the Bruin MCP
Connect your AI coding assistant to Bruin so it can query data, build pipelines, and look up documentation.
What you'll do
Set up the Bruin MCP (Model Context Protocol) for your AI coding tool so it can interact with your pipelines and data directly.
Why this step matters
The Bruin MCP gives your AI assistant superpowers. Instead of copy-pasting schemas and error messages, your AI tool can query your data warehouse, inspect your pipeline structure, run Bruin commands, and look up documentation - all on its own. This makes AI-assisted pipeline development dramatically faster.
Note
This step is optional. You can build pipelines without an AI assistant, but the MCP makes the experience much smoother - especially for the tutorials in this academy that use AI prompts.
