The eight default tools carry about 26,000 characters of descriptions, and search and get_lineage each repeat the same 3,063-character filter grammar.\n\n**Secoda.** The REST API reference embeds OpenAPI 3.0 definitions on every page, with `llms.txt` and Markdown copies, and the subscription agreement carries a 99.9 per cent uptime commitment. No price, trial or sign-up is published, no status page was found, and the public changelog stops at 28 October 2025 although self-hosted releases continue.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DataHub\n\n1. Start keyword queries with `/q` and pass filters as one string, such as `entity_type = dataset AND platform = snowflake`\n2. Call `search` with `num_results=0` first to get the tags, glossary terms, platforms and domains in use\n3. Page with `offset`. `num_results` is capped at 50\n4. Expect no write tools unless the operator set `TOOLS_IS_MUTATION_ENABLED=true`, and create tags and terms before `add_tags` or `add_terms` refers to them\n5. Use https://mcp.datahub.com/mcp with OAuth only on DataHub Cloud v1.0.2 or later. DataHub Core needs the local server and a personal access token\n\n### Secoda\n\n1. Pick the base URL by workspace region. `app.secoda.co` uses `api.secoda.co`, `eu.secoda.co` uses `eapi.secoda.co` and `apac.secoda.co` uses `aapi.secoda.co`\n2. Keep writes under 30 PUT, PATCH or POST calls a minute on entity endpoints, and back off on a 429\n3. List with `/api/v1/resource/catalog` and a URL-encoded JSON `filter`. The per-type list endpoints for tables are marked deprecated, and results stop at 10,000 resources\n4. Send at most 100 entities to `/api/v1/resource/all/bulk_update/` in one request\n5. Add a trailing slash when an endpoint does not behave as expected, as the docs advise\n6. Treat an API key as the creating user. `run_sql` in the MCP server works only when an admin has enabled Run SQL and the user has query access to the integration\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DataHub or Secoda?\n\nDataHub scores 59.4 (C) on agent readiness against Secoda's 44.5 (E), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call DataHub and Secoda without installing anything?\n\nDataHub has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.datahub.com/mcp. Secoda runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.\n\n### Are DataHub and Secoda open source?\n\nDataHub is open source (Apache-2.0 (DataHub Core and mcp-server-datahub). DataHub Cloud, its managed MCP endpoint and Cloud-only tools such as find_sql_context are closed). No open-source release is listed for Secoda.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/datahub-vs-secoda.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/datahub-vs-secoda.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"datahub\", \"b\": \"secoda\"}`.
