Elementary integrates with dbt Cloud for the supported data warehouses. Install the Elementary dbt package in your monitored project. It collects results and artifacts at runtime using on-run-end hooks, saving them to a dedicated schema. Elementary syncs through the DWH connection.

​
Jobs information

Elementary automatically collects jobs data from dbt Cloud, including job run url and job id. These are presented in the lineage node info tab. To collect additional job info such as job name, see the collect job data guide.

​
Connect dbt Cloud to the agent

Connect dbt Cloud to Elementary’s agent so it has complete context when triaging issues. The agent can then pull dbt Cloud run and job context directly through its MCP tools, so root cause analysis reaches across your transformation layer. Go to Account → Agent Settings → MCP Connections, add a dbt Cloud connection, and paste your dbt Cloud MCP server URL and a service token. Tokens are stored encrypted.
