Create a project folder in your workspace and name it bigdata-code-assistant-example. 
mkdir bigdata-code-assistant-example
cd bigdata-code-assistant-example
and follow the Prerequisites instructions to set up the local Bigdata.com environment.

​
Create an empty Python file

Once you have your local environment set up with your credentials in the file .env, you can create an empty Python file.
  • grounding_with_bigdata_search.py
You should have the following file structure: 
bigdata-code-assistant-example/
├── bigdata_venv/
├── .env
└── grounding_with_bigdata_search.py

​
Script implementation

Use the following prompt to ask your Agentic IDE to help you create the code for that file: 
Can you help me edit the Python script "grounding_with_bigdata_search.py" that authenticates to Bigdata.com APIs using username and password? Please use the MCP tool docs.bigdata.com as a reference.

I want the script to:

1. Use dotenv to load the environment variables that Bigdata will accept by default.
2. Explore the bigdata.com Knowledge Graph to get a list of Source IDs with rank one and from the "US" country.
3. Can you send a query to the Search Service using the list of sources as a Query filter and a Similarity filter with the text "Partnership agreement"?
4. Finally, could you print the following fields from the documents in the response:
	- Document headline
	- Chunk relevance
	- Chunk text

Please add an extra line between documents.
Your Agentic IDE will ask you permission to access the MCP tool docs.bigdata.com, and then build the full script for you. MCP permission You can accept the changes and run the script to see the results. Proposed script

​
Test the script

Run the script and iterate if you want to enhance it. Example output:
