DataBridge AI - Community Edition

Open-source, MCP-native data reconciliation engine for comparing, profiling, and managing data quality.

---

Overview

DataBridge AI Community Edition is a free, open-source data reconciliation toolkit built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides essential tools for:

• Data Comparison - Hash-based row comparison, orphan detection, conflict identification
• Fuzzy Matching - Find approximate matches between datasets using RapidFuzz
• Data Profiling - Statistical analysis and quality metrics for your data
• PDF/OCR Extraction - Extract text from PDFs and images
• dbt Integration - Generate dbt models from your data
• Data Quality - Create and run data validation rules

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install databridge-ai

# With PDF support
pip install databridge-ai[pdf]

# With OCR support
pip install databridge-ai[ocr]

# With all optional dependencies
pip install databridge-ai[all]

Quick Start

As an MCP Server

DataBridge AI works as an MCP server, making its tools available to AI assistants like Claude:

# Run the MCP server
databridge-mcp

Using the Dashboard

# Start the web dashboard
databridge-ui

Then open http://localhost:5050 in your browser.

Python API

from databridge_ai import load_csv, profile_data, fuzzy_match_columns

# Load and profile a CSV file
result = load_csv("data.csv")
profile = profile_data("data.csv")

# Find fuzzy matches between two files
matches = fuzzy_match_columns(
    source_file="source.csv",
    target_file="target.csv",
    source_column="name",
    target_column="customer_name",
    threshold=80
)
