  "summary": "Hydrolix is automatable today through its HTTP query API. This record is the Hydrolix real-time data platform. ClickHouse, Grafana, and Datadog are separate products.     The homepage describes a hosted analytics platform. The pricing page lists fully managed Hydrolix Cloud from $0.31 per GB ingested and self-managed deployment in the customer's VPC on Kubernetes from $0.20 per GB, so the product is hybrid and commercial. The query API accepts POST and GET at https://hostname.hydrolix.live/query. Clients authenticate with credentials or an authorization token. The authentication guide has sections for user credentials, authorization tokens, service account tokens, and basic authentication. The config and stream OpenAPI files were not opened in this pass, so coverage stays partial. Hydrolix documents its own MCP server, remote at https://hostname.hydrolix.live/mcp and local through uvx mcp-hydrolix. Tools are run_select_query, list_databases, list_tables, and get_table_info. SELECT queries must include a time range by default, and non-summary queries are capped at six hours unless that limit is changed. The GitHub repository hydrolix/mcp-hydrolix is a fork of ClickHouse/mcp-clickhouse. Hydrolix docs present the fork as the Hydrolix MCP server, and it was pushed on 2026-10-15. hdxcli is official and, except for hdxcli migrate, the docs call it unmaintained as of Hydrolix v6.3. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 6 and is the best path. MCP scores 6 because it is official and limited to guarded read queries. The CLI scores 2.\n"
