What Kaggle (BYOK) is for

Kaggle (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Kaggle data through the Kaggle API with a key you supply (Kaggle username). Read-only: 11 tools (list_datasets, get_dataset_metadata, list_dataset_files, get_dataset_status, list_competitions, list_competition_files, get_competition_leaderboard, list_my_submissions, list_notebooks, list_models, get_model). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to www.kaggle.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Kaggle. Kaggle and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "What are the most voted Kaggle datasets about wine?"
• "Show the metadata of the Kaggle dataset zynicide/wine-reviews"
• "Which files are in the Kaggle dataset zynicide/wine-reviews?"
• "Is the Kaggle dataset zynicide/wine-reviews ready?"
• "Which Kaggle competitions have the biggest prizes right now?"
• "Which data files does the Kaggle titanic competition provide?"

What it does

• list_datasets: Search and list public Kaggle datasets with title, size, last update, download and vote counts and usability rating. Returns up to 20 per page.
• get_dataset_metadata: Get the metadata of one dataset: title, subtitle, description, licenses, keywords and ids.
• list_dataset_files: List the files of a dataset with name, size in bytes, file type and creation date.
• get_dataset_status: Check the processing status of a dataset (for example ready) that you can access.
• list_competitions: List Kaggle competitions with reference slug, category, reward, deadline and team count.
• list_competition_files: List the data files of a competition with names (you must have accepted the competition rules).
• get_competition_leaderboard: Show the leaderboard of a competition with team names, submission dates and scores.
• list_my_submissions: List your own submissions to a competition with file name, date, status and scores.
• list_notebooks: Search and list public Kaggle notebooks (kernels) with title, author, last run time and votes.
• list_models: Search and list Kaggle models with title, subtitle, author and vote counts, 1 to 100 per page.
• get_model: Get one Kaggle model with description, tags, instances (frameworks and variants) and votes.

BYOK key

You bring your own Kaggle Kaggle username (https://www.kaggle.com/settings). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to www.kaggle.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://github.com/Kaggle/kaggle-api/blob/main/docs/README.md (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

Live from the Kaggle API (www.kaggle.com) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://github.com/Kaggle/kaggle-api/blob/main/docs/README.md. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.

What it is not

Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Kaggle. Kaggle and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your Kaggle account.

Built for: Worldwide. Languages: English.

Kaggle (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Kaggle (BYOK) is. Kaggle (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Kaggle data: Browse Kaggle datasets, competitions, leaderboards, notebooks and models, and see your own competition submissions, with your own username and API key. You bring your own Kaggle Kaggle username; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Kaggle call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to www.kaggle.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Kaggle rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Kaggle receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Kaggle's own terms and privacy policy. Kaggle acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Kaggle gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Kaggle data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Kaggle (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Kaggle at any time to end all access.

Children. Kaggle (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Kaggle's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
