From the repository
Install the server (e.g., via Smithery) and configure it with your Cube deployment endpoint. Use the provided tools read_data and describe_data to query data and retrieve metadata; results can also be accessed as JSON resources.
read_data
Accepts a query to the Cube REST API and returns the data in YAML along with a unique identifier for the data returned. This identifier can be used to retrieve a JSON representation of the data from the resource `data://{data_id}`.
describe_data
Describes the data available in the Cube deployment. This is an agentic version of the `context://data_description` resource.
