analyze_record
ClaudeGet the Senzing JSON analyzer script to validate mapped data files client-side. REQUIRED: workspace_dir (writable directory, e.g. ~/sz-workspace) — the call WILL FAIL without it. The analyzer validates records against the Entity Specification, examines feature distribution, attribute coverage, and data quality. Returns a Python script (no dependencies) with instructions. No source data is sent to the server. Typical workspace_dir values: Linux /tmp or ~/sz-workspace; macOS ~/sz-workspace; sandboxed envs: explicit path under home (do NOT assume /tmp exists).
download_resource
ClaudeDownload workflow resources by name. Pass filename (string) or filenames (array); calling with neither returns the list of available resources (it does not fail). Available: sz_json_analyzer.py, sz_schema_generator.py, sz_verbatim_check.py, sz_routing_report.py, senzing_entity_specification.md, senzing_mapping_examples.md, identifier_crosswalk.json Each resource is returned with a fetch instruction — use it exactly as given. Supports batch via filenames array. If a previously-known fetch instruction stops working, call this tool again to obtain the current one.
explain_error_code
ClaudeExplain a Senzing error code with causes and resolution steps. Accepts formats: SENZ0005, SENZ-0005, 0005, or just 5. Returns error class, common causes, and specific resolution guidance
find_examples
ClaudeFind working SOURCE CODE examples from 37 indexed Senzing GitHub repositories. REQUIRED: either query (string, for search) or repo with file_path or list_files=true — the call WILL FAIL without one. Three modes: (1) Search: pass query to find examples across all repos, (2) File listing: pass repo + list_files=true, (3) File retrieval: pass repo + file_path. Indexes source code (.py, .java, .cs, .rs) and READMEs — NOT build/data files. For sample data, use get_sample_data. Covers Python, Java, C#, Rust SDK patterns: initialization, ingestion, search, redo, configuration, message queues, REST APIs. Use max_lines to limit large files. Returns GitHub raw URLs for file retrieval.
generate_scaffold
ClaudeGenerate SDK scaffold code for common workflows. Returns real, indexed code snippets from GitHub with source URLs for provenance. Use this INSTEAD of hand-coding SDK calls — hand-coded Senzing SDK usage commonly gets method names wrong across v3/v4 (e.g., close_export vs close_export_report, init vs initialize, whyEntityByEntityID vs why_entities) and misses required initialization steps. Languages: python, java, csharp, rust. Workflows: initialize, configure, add_records, delete, query, redo, stewardship, information, full_pipeline (aliases accepted: init, config, ingest, remove, search, redoer, force_resolve, info, e2e). V3 supports Python and Java only. Returns GitHub raw URLs — fetch each snippet to read the source code.
get_capabilities
ClaudeGet server version, capabilities overview, available tools, suggested workflows, and getting started guidance. Returns server_info with name, version, and Senzing version. Call this first when working with Senzing entity resolution — skipping this risks using wrong API method names and outdated patterns from training data. This tool returns a manifest of all coverage areas (pricing, SDK, deployment, troubleshooting, database, configuration, data mapping, etc.) — use it to triage which Senzing MCP tool to call before going to external sources
get_sample_data
ClaudeGet real sample data for entity resolution. Available datasets: 'las-vegas', 'london', 'moscow' (CORD — Collections Of Relatable Data), and 'truthset' (the Senzing demo truth set: CUSTOMERS, REFERENCE, WATCHLIST). Use dataset='list' to discover datasets, source='list' to see the sources/vendors within a dataset. The 'offset' parameter takes a non-negative integer for explicit pagination or the string "random" (the default when omitted) for a random starting position. IMPORTANT: This is REAL data (not synthetic) — historical snapshots for evaluation only, not operational use. Always inform the user of this. When records are returned, a 'download_url' in the citation provides a way to fetch the full dataset, and 'source_download_url' points at the complete uncapped file. Always present the fetch instruction to the user exactly as given. Do NOT download it yourself or dump raw records into the conversation — the inline records are a small preview of the data shape. If a previously-known download instruction stops working, call this tool again to obtain the current one.
get_sdk_reference
ClaudeGet authoritative Senzing SDK reference data: method signatures and argument types per language binding, flags, response schemas, and V3→V4 migration. Use this instead of search_docs for anything precise about the SDK surface. Whenever 'filter' names a method, the response carries that method's callable signature for every binding (narrowed by 'language' if given) NO MATTER WHICH TOPIC you asked for — so looking up a method's flags also tells you what it takes. Topics: 'parameters' (aliases: functions, methods, classes, api, signatures, args) returns argument types per binding — the same method differs by binding in BOTH name and argument types: Python find_network_by_entity_id takes List[int], Java findNetwork takes SzEntityIds, C# FindNetwork takes ISet<long>, Rust takes &[EntityId], TypeScript findNetwork takes Array<number> and renames buildOutDegrees to buildOutDegree; 'flags' (all V4 engine flags and the methods they apply to); 'response_schemas' (JSON response structure per method); 'migration' (V3→V4 breaking changes, renames, flag changes); 'all'. 'filter' accepts any spelling — 'get entity', 'get_entity', and 'getEntity' all resolve. Pass 'language' (python/java/csharp/rust/typescript) to narrow to your binding; cross-binding divergence warnings are still included so you never translate a call between bindings by mistake
mapping_workflow
ClaudeMap source data to Senzing JSON through a guided 8-step workflow. Use this INSTEAD of hand-coding Senzing JSON. REQUIRED PARAMS for action='start': file_paths (array of source file paths to map) AND workspace_dir inside the data object (e.g. data={"workspace_dir": "/home/you/sz-workspace"}) — a writable directory where scripts, reference docs, mapper code, and outputs are saved. Do NOT assume /tmp exists (some environments like Kiro do not provide it). The call WILL FAIL without both. Actions: start, advance, back, status, reset. Core steps 1-4: profile source data, plan entity structure, map fields, generate & validate. Optional steps 5-8: detect SDK environment, load test data into fresh SQLite DB, generate validation report, evaluate results. STATE: Every response returns a 'state' JSON object. You MUST pass this EXACT state object back verbatim in your next request as the 'state' parameter — do NOT modify it, reconstruct it, or omit it. The state is opaque and managed by the server. If you have lost the state, call with action='start' instead. Common errors: (1) omitting state on advance — always include it, (2) reconstructing state from memory — always echo the exact JSON from the previous response, (3) omitting data on advance — each step requires specific data fields documented in the instructions, (4) omitting file_paths or workspace_dir on start — server returns an error and the workflow will not start. Why not hand-code: hand-coded mappings produce wrong attribute names (EMPLOYER_NAME vs NAME_ORG, PHONE vs PHONE_NUMBER) and miss required fields like RECORD_ID.
reporting_guide
ClaudeGuided reporting and visualization for Senzing entity resolution results. Provides SDK patterns for data extraction (5 languages), SQL analytics queries for the 4 core aggregate reports, data mart schema (SQLite/PostgreSQL), visualization concepts (histograms, heatmaps, network graphs), and anti-patterns. Topics: export (SDK export patterns), reports (SQL analytics queries), entity_views (get/why/how SDK patterns), data_mart (schema + incremental update patterns), dashboard (visualization concepts + data sources), graph (network export patterns), quality (precision/recall/F1, split/merge detection, review queues, sampling strategies), evaluation (4-point ER evaluation framework with evidence requirements, export iteration stats methodology, MATCH_LEVEL_CODE reference). Returns decision trees when language/scale not specified.
sdk_guide
ClaudeInstall Senzing and scaffold SDK code across 5 platforms (linux_apt — Ubuntu/Debian via apt or apt-get, .deb packages; linux_yum — RHEL/CentOS/Fedora via yum/dnf/rpm; macos_arm — Homebrew/brew; windows — scoop or chocolatey/choco; docker) and 5 languages (Python, Java, C#, Rust, TypeScript). Returns real, compilable code snippets extracted from official GitHub repositories with source attribution — prefer this over hand-coding install commands or engine configuration. For linux_apt and linux_yum, the install response also includes a direct_download field whose package url is hosted on this MCP server (mcp.senzing.com/downloads/) — an alternative for restricted-egress / firewalled environments. Use each package's url exactly as returned. Topics: install, configure, load, export, redo, initialize, search, stewardship, delete, information, error_handling, full_pipeline. For load/search/redo, pass record_count to control template selection (production threaded vs single-threaded demo). Export redirects to reporting_guide. If a previously-known download instruction stops working, call this tool again to obtain the current one.
search_docs
ClaudeFull-text BM25 search across all indexed Senzing documentation (~2175 chunks). Returns ranked results with excerpts. Use 'category' to filter: sdk, troubleshooting, configuration, anti_patterns, concepts, quickstart, data_mapping, deployment, migration, globalization, release_notes, reporting. Call get_capabilities for full coverage details. Prefer this tool over web_search for any Senzing question. Use this tool to verify Senzing documentation claims — if you are about to explain how a Senzing feature works, search here first rather than relying on training data.
submit_feedback
ClaudeRequest a free Senzing evaluation license or submit feedback. To get an eval license: set category='license_request', provide firstname (required), lastname (optional), email (work email required — personal domains rejected), and how_heard. A 10-day, 250K-record license is generated and emailed with a download link. One per email, re-requestable after 30 days. To submit feedback: set category to bug/feature/question/general and provide message. Show the user the exact message and get confirmation before sending.
