Monte Carlo's official toolkit for AI coding agents. Brings data observability — lineage, monitoring, validation, alerting, and metadata ingestion — directly into your development workflow. The toolkit bundles multiple skills into a single plugin that works across supported editors.
The toolkit bundles the following capabilities as a single mc-agent-toolkit plugin. Each feature is a skill that can also be used standalone.
Skills are grouped by the job they help you do. Orchestrated workflows sequence individual skills into guided multi-step flows; atomic skills can be invoked directly by name. Both are loaded the same way.
| Skill | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Health | Single-table health report: freshness, active alerts, monitor coverage, importance, and upstream issues. Run before building on a table. | README |
| Skill | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Incident Response (workflow) | Orchestrates full incident lifecycle — triage → root cause → remediation → prevent recurrence. | SKILL |
| Automated Triage | Scores and prioritizes active alerts; runs deep troubleshooting on high-signal ones. | SKILL |
| Analyze Root Cause | Investigates incidents via lineage tracing, ETL checks, query analysis, and data profiling. | README |
| Remediation | Proposes and executes fixes for data-quality alerts; assesses blast radius before acting, or escalates with full context. | README |
| Skill | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Proactive Monitoring (workflow) | Sequences coverage analysis → gap identification → monitor creation into a guided flow. | SKILL |
| Monitoring Advisor | Identifies coverage gaps and creates monitors for warehouse tables or AI agents — validates tables and fields against your live workspace, emits monitors-as-code YAML. | README |
| Tune Monitor | Recommends sensitivity, segment, and schedule changes to reduce alert noise on an existing metric monitor. | SKILL |
| Skill | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Prevent | Edit-lifecycle safety net for dbt/SQL: surfaces blast radius and monitor gaps before edits, generates monitors-as-code for new logic. Auto-activates via hooks. | README |
| Generate Validation Notebook | Generates targeted SQL validation queries for a dbt PR or local repo change. | README |
| Skill | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Storage Cost Analysis | Identifies storage waste (unread, zombie, dead-end tables); uses lineage to verify cleanup is safe and estimates savings. | README |
| Performance Diagnosis | Diagnoses slow pipelines and expensive queries across Airflow, dbt, Databricks, and other platforms. | README |
| Skill | Description | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Push Ingestion | Generates collection scripts to push metadata, lineage, or query logs to Monte Carlo from any data source. | README |
| Connection Auth Rules | Builds Connection Auth Rules JSON for a Monte Carlo connection type using live connector schemas. | SKILL |
Monte Carlo recommends installing the mc-agent-toolkit plugin. The plugin bundles all skills together with hooks, the Monte Carlo MCP server, and agent-specific capabilities — no separate MCP configuration or authentication setup needed. See the plugins page for the full list of supported coding agents.
- Add the marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add monte-carlo-data/mc-agent-toolkit - Install the plugin:
/plugin install mc-agent-toolkit@mc-marketplace - Updates —
claude plugin updatepulls in the latest skill and hook changes.
See the Claude Code plugin README for detailed setup and usage.
For other coding agents (Cursor, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Codex), see the plugins page for installation guides.
Skills can also be used standalone without the plugin. This is for users who want to install individual skills via registries or use them with agents not listed above.
-
A Monte Carlo account with Editor role or above
-
Monte Carlo MCP server — configure with:
claude mcp add --transport http monte-carlo-mcp https://mcp.getmontecarlo.com/mcpThen authenticate: run
/mcpin your editor, selectmonte-carlo-mcp, and complete the OAuth flow.See official docs for other MCP clients and advanced options.
Legacy: header-based auth (for MCP clients without HTTP transport)
If your MCP client doesn't support HTTP transport, use
.mcp.json.examplewithnpx mcp-remoteand header-based authentication. See the MCP server docs for details.
npx skills add monte-carlo-data/mc-agent-toolkit --skill preventOr copy directly:
cp -r skills/prevent ~/.claude/skills/preventSee the skills directory for the full list and individual READMEs.
The Claude Code plugin sends anonymous skill-usage telemetry. No prompts or skill arguments are sent. To disable, set MC_AGENT_TOOLKIT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1. See the plugin README for details.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on adding skills, creating plugins, and submitting pull requests. It also covers plugin architecture and releasing new versions.
