The MCP server includes tools for querying Omni data and searching the official Omni docs for product and “How do I…”-type questions.

​
Tool availability

To use any of the MCP server tools, the top-level MCP server setting in AI Hub > MCP must be enabled. This setting is enabled by default. Organization Admins can also individually enable or disable tool capabilities in the MCP settings page. If certain tools are not available in your MCP client, check with an Organization Admin to confirm which capabilities are enabled for your organization.

​
Querying

The MCP server uses the tools in this section to process the queries it receives.

​
pickModel

Returns a list of available models and their IDs, which the MCP client uses to select which model to query. You can also provide a model ID in the MCP configuration to skip this step. This tool is available if the Agentic capabilities or Single shot query generation setting is enabled.

​
pickTopic

Returns available topics in the model selected by pickModel and selects the most relevant topic for the query. If the AI is allowed to query any view in the model (enabled with the X-MCP-Query-All-Views header during setup), this step becomes optional: the AI can query any view in the model directly, not just topics. This tool is available if the Agentic capabilities or Single shot query generation setting is enabled.

​
getData

The Single shot query generation setting must be enabled to use this tool.
Executes the query against the selected model and topic (or view, if the AI can query outside of topics) and returns the results.

​
Advanced agentic queries

The Agentic capabilities setting must be enabled to use the tools in this section.
For complex, multi-step questions that require deeper analysis beyond what a single query can provide, the MCP server includes two additional tools that expose Omni’s full agentic AI assistant: askOmni and checkStatus. Using these tools together prevents timeout issues that could occur if waiting for long-running agentic jobs to complete in a single request.

​
askOmni

Submits an agentic analysis job to Omni and returns immediately without waiting for completion. Designed for open-ended questions that may require multiple steps, data exploration, or iterative analysis.

​
checkStatus

Polls the status of a previously submitted job using its jobId.

​
Search Omni documentation (searchOmniDocs)

The Omni documentation search setting must be enabled to use this tool.
In addition to data querying tools, the MCP server includes a searchOmniDocs tool that provides AI-powered search of Omni’s documentation. When you ask questions about how to use Omni, the MCP client can automatically use this tool to:
  • Search Omni’s documentation for relevant information
  • Synthesize answers from multiple documentation sources
  • Provide citations to specific documentation pages
For example, you could ask “How do I create a calculated field in Omni?” and the searchOmniDocs tool will search the documentation, analyze the relevant pages, and return a comprehensive answer with links to the source documentation. The tool uses the same AI-powered search pipeline as the Omni Agent, ensuring accurate and contextually relevant responses.
