01Questions
What people ask Amazon Redshift
Each one becomes a query against Amazon Redshift, run read-only, with the SQL shown beside the chart so anyone who reads SQL can check it. Anything worth keeping goes on a dashboard that refreshes on its own.
- What were ticket sales by event category each month this year?
- Which regions grew fastest quarter on quarter?
- Which schemas hold order data, and how large is each table?
- What share of revenue came from repeat buyers last quarter?
02From your assistant
Ask Amazon Redshift from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Dataki runs a hosted MCP server. Add it to your assistant once and it can read your Amazon Redshift schema and run read-only queries through Dataki. The assistant gets the rows back; the Amazon Redshift credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and never reach the model.
Setup for your assistant:
Compare this quarter's revenue by category with last quarter's in Redshift, and put the chart on a dashboard.
- list_sources · finds Redshift · analytics
- get_data_context · reads the tables and what the columns mean
- query · runs the SQL read-only, returns the rows
- render_ui · draws the chart from those rows, in the chat

Connecting Amazon Redshift
A read-only user, always over TLS, from one fixed IP. The setup guide covers it step by step.
- Setup
- About 10 minutes.
- Connects from
34.89.253.13, on port 5439 unless you changed it.- Encryption
- Always TLS: Dataki never falls back to an unencrypted connection. On an endpoint AWS named, the certificate is verified.
- What it reads
- Tables, views (late-binding ones too) and Spectrum tables in every schema the user can use, or only the schemas you list.
The answer is still there tomorrow.
Ask in plain language. Dataki writes the SQL, runs it against your warehouse and draws the chart. Anything worth keeping becomes a dashboard with a link — not a message that scrolls away.

One click later, that chart is a dashboard of its own:
Live, not a screenshot. It re-runs the query on a schedule, so the number your team reads on Friday is Friday's number.
- Share the link with anyone. Viewers are free on every plan.
- Edit the SQL by hand whenever the model gets the logic almost right.
- Drop the same dashboard into your own product with one line of HTML.
Using Dataki with Amazon Redshift
- Can I query Amazon Redshift in plain English instead of writing SQL?
- Yes. Dataki reads your Amazon Redshift schema, turns a plain-English question into a query, runs it against Amazon Redshift and returns a chart. The generated query is shown with every result, so you can verify or edit it.
- Is there a hosted Amazon Redshift MCP server?
- Dataki is one. Its remote MCP server reaches Amazon Redshift through a read-only connection you set up once in Dataki, so nothing is installed on your machine and no connection string goes into an assistant's config. It offers tools to list sources, read the schema and its documented meaning, run read-only SQL, draw charts in the conversation and save dashboards. Every query is logged with the key that ran it.
- How do I build a dashboard from Amazon Redshift data without an ETL pipeline?
- Connect Amazon Redshift to Dataki with a read-only connection, ask your question, and keep the answer as a dashboard widget. Dataki queries Amazon Redshift directly at read time, so there is no pipeline to build, no warehouse to sync into and no copy of your data to keep current.
- Can Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor query my Amazon Redshift data?
- Yes, through Dataki's hosted MCP server at https://dataki.ai/api/mcp. Connect Amazon Redshift to Dataki, add that URL as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT (or in Cursor, VS Code or Claude Code with a Dataki key), and the assistant can read the schema and run read-only queries. It gets the rows back; the credentials stay encrypted in Dataki and are never handed to the model.
