Integrations

Connectors, plugins and tools, on one map.

Connectors bring your tools onto one graph. Plugins add capabilities on top of it. MCP tools and clients take it to where you work: your AI assistant, your terminal, your editor, your chat.

Connectors

Connects to the tools you already run.

Read-only collectors turn each tool's metadata, logs and runs into facts on one graph. Some also let Nistor act: run a job, refresh a cube, comment on a merge request.

Google Cloud

Stable

BigQuery, Dataform, Data Fusion, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, Composer, Cloud Run and more: 25 asset types.

MicroStrategy

Stable

Cubes, dossiers, reports and schedules, with lineage from dossier to cube to warehouse, including SAP HANA tables.

Sifflet

Stable

With Data quality (Enterprise), Sifflet rule runs and asset health come in, failures open Nistor incidents, and Sifflet rules can migrate to Nistor checks.

Build your own

Every tool is a package that reports facts through the core contracts. The repo ships a template and a conformance kit.

Clouds

Google Cloud first. AWS and Azure next.

Nistor's core names no vendor: warehouses, object storage, message buses and secrets plug in through open-source contracts, and each cloud arrives as its own connector. Google Cloud is the first, and the deepest. AWS and Azure are next, so one graph holds the lineage, schedules and spend of every cloud you run.

What Nistor does on each cloud: available on Google Cloud, planned on AWS and Azure, where installing Nistor is coming soon

Plugins

Enterprise plugins, built on the same graph.

Each plugin adds one capability on top of the open-source core and reads the facts the connectors collect. They install in the same deployment, with Nistor Enterprise.

Catalog

Enterprise

Curated descriptions, owners, domains, certification, glossary and data products; Castor and BigQuery descriptions flow in.

Works withCastor / CoalesceODCS contractsLineage graphMCP server

Data quality

Enterprise

Checks on BigQuery, Cloud Storage and MicroStrategy, with a wizard, profiling, drift detection and human verdicts; Sifflet, Dataplex and Dataform results flow in.

Incident agent

Enterprise

When enabled, drafts a cited diagnosis for each incident and proposes actions a human approves.

Agent governance

Enterprise

Enforces each agent's tool allow-list, rate limit and daily budget, in monitor or enforce mode, with per-call telemetry. Registering agents and minting their tokens is open source.

Works withMCP server

Plugins install in the same deployment as the open-source core. If a licence lapses, they turn read-only; your data is never affected.

MCP tools

26 questions your AI assistant can ask.

The MCP server gives Claude, Cursor and Gemini CLI read-only access to the graph, over stdio or Streamable HTTP. It never runs, changes or deletes anything. 15 tools work on Open Source; 11 more answer once the Enterprise plugins they read are installed.
