Toolset unavailable or showing as disabled

Symptoms: A toolset (Semantic Layer, Discovery, Admin API) is not available in your AI client even though you've configured credentials.

Cause: Either the required variables are missing, or the toolset has been explicitly disabled.

Solution:

  1. Check that all required variables for the toolset are set — see Tool requirements.
  2. Check whether you have any DISABLE_* variables set to true that might be turning off the toolset.
  3. If you're using enable mode (DBT_MCP_ENABLE_*), make sure the toolset you need is listed.
  4. Set DBT_MCP_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG to see which toolsets are active at startup.
