What the Orion by Gravity connector does

The Orion MCP server connects Orion by Gravity — a collaborative analytics platform sitting on a company's data warehouse — to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client. Its 21 listed tools read projects, metrics, workflows, dashboards and a shared wiki, and ask new questions in natural language. Five write. One deletes permanently, and one can email results to outside addresses.

Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.

Limits

  • We could not read tool schemas or safety annotations. The endpoint returns 401 to an anonymous handshake, so parameter types and readOnlyHint / destructiveHint values are not published here. Tool names come from Anthropic's directory snapshot and parameter detail from Gravity's own reference. The read/write split above is derived from names and vendor prose, not from annotations we read off the wire.
  • One tool is listed but undocumented. get_company appears in Anthropic's listing and nowhere in Gravity's 35,656-word doc corpus, so what it returns is inferred, not established.
  • The grant is all-or-nothing. orion:full is the only scope. You cannot connect read-only, and access is bounded by your Orion role instead.
  • Analyses are slow by design. Gravity documents one to two minutes per ask_orion call with a polling pattern and a thirty-second minimum between polls. This is not a low-latency lookup tool.
  • Deletion is irreversible. Gravity states that deleting a published dashboard cannot be undone.
  • run_workflow has effects outside the tool call. Its recipients, outputs and schedule live in Orion's configuration, so the assistant triggering it cannot see who will receive the email.
  • Data sources are admin-controlled. Gravity documents warehouse connections as configured once at the tenant level by an administrator, and private databases require Orion's egress IPs to be allowlisted — a figure Gravity provides during onboarding rather than publishing.
  • No public pricing or rate limits. Gravity publishes neither a plan gate for MCP access nor any documented request limit, so neither is stated here.
  • No vendor SDK to inspect. There is no Gravity package on npm and no vendor GitHub organisation, so the tool surface cannot be cross-checked against source.

Frequently asked questions

What is Orion by Gravity, and what data does the MCP server reach?

Orion is a collaborative analytics platform from Gravity that sits on top of a company's data warehouse. The MCP server reaches Orion's own layer — projects, saved metrics, workflows, dashboards, reports and a shared wiki — rather than the warehouse directly. Whatever your Snowflake, BigQuery or Postgres tables hold, an analysis over them can surface through these tools.

Can the Orion MCP server delete anything permanently?

Yes. One tool, delete_artifact, removes a slide deck, dashboard or report and Gravity's own documentation labels it a destructive action. Gravity separately documents that deleting a published dashboard cannot be undone. It is the only tool of the 21 that destroys anything, and it takes a single artifact ID with no dry-run parameter.

Can an AI assistant using Orion send email to people outside my company?

Yes, indirectly. The run_workflow tool triggers a saved workflow, and a workflow can carry a notification step that emails its outputs to recipients. Gravity documents that recipients may be chosen as Users, Groups, or arbitrary Emails — which is how you reach someone outside the project. The tool call itself takes only a workflow ID.

Why does Orion return only an acknowledgment when I ask it a question?

That is expected. Gravity documents ask_orion as a multi-step analysis taking one to two minutes, so the immediate reply is an acknowledgment rather than the result. Your assistant should poll get_conversation_history for the finished analysis, waiting at least thirty seconds between polls. If it never completes, check the project ID has connected data sources.

What OAuth scopes does the Orion MCP server ask for?

One, and it is coarse. Orion's RFC 9728 resource descriptor and its authorization server metadata both publish a single scope, orion:full, with no read-only counterpart. There is nothing on the consent screen to decline, so what the connector can reach falls back entirely to your Orion tenant role and group memberships rather than to the grant.

Do I need to install anything to use the Orion MCP server?

No. Gravity runs a remote server at g.runorion.com/mcp and lists exactly one prerequisite: an Orion account with login credentials. There is no package to install and no local process to run. Claude Desktop users add Orion from the connector directory; Claude Code and Cursor users point the client at the URL and authenticate in a browser.

Does the Orion connector let an assistant run its own SQL against my warehouse?

No. No tool among the 21 accepts SQL or a table name. Analyses go through ask_orion in natural language, and Gravity states that Orion only ever issues read queries — SELECT and metadata introspection — never DDL, DML or stored procedures against your systems. Gravity recommends a dedicated least-privilege service account for each connection.
