Secoda

Data discovery and documentation platform for managing data quality and governance. It integrates with MotherDuck for table monitoring as part of data quality and observability workflows.

How it works with MotherDuck​

Secoda connects to MotherDuck as a data warehouse integration for metadata extraction, catalog search, documentation, lineage, and governance workflows.

Prerequisites​

  • A Secoda workspace with permission to add integrations.
  • A MotherDuck service token.
  • Access to the MotherDuck databases and schemas Secoda should catalog.

Setup​

  1. In MotherDuck, create or copy a service token.
  2. In Secoda, open the Integrations tab.
  3. Select Add Integration.
  4. Search for and select MotherDuck.
  5. Paste the MotherDuck service token.
  6. Connect the integration and let Secoda extract metadata.

Authentication and configuration​

  • Use a dedicated service token for Secoda.
  • Limit the token to the data assets Secoda should discover and document.
  • Configure ownership, documentation, and governance rules in Secoda after the metadata sync completes.

Important notes​

  • Secoda's setup requires only the MotherDuck token from the MotherDuck side.
  • If assets do not appear after connecting, first verify the token and database access for the account that created it.

Use cases​

  • Catalog MotherDuck tables, views, schemas, and columns.
  • Generate and maintain table documentation in Secoda.
  • Add governance context, lineage, and quality monitoring around MotherDuck assets.
