# Connect Holistics to Tinybird

Holistics can connect to Tinybird using the ClickHouse® Data Source, taking advantage of Tinybird's ClickHouse® HTTP protocol compatibility.

{% callout type="info" %}
The ClickHouse® connection to Tinybird is read-only. You can use it to query and analyze data from your Tinybird data sources, but you cannot modify data through this connection.
{% /callout %}

## Prerequisites

- A [Holistics](https://holistics.io) account
- A Tinybird workspace with data sources
- A Tinybird Auth Token with scopes `WORKSPACE:READ_ALL` and optionally `ORG_DATASOURCES:READ`. See [how to create it](../clickhouse-interface#auth-token-requirements).

## Create a new connection

1. Select **Connect your SQL database**.
2. In the databases list select **ClickHouse®**.
3. Fill in the ClickHouse database credentials.

### Connection settings

```bash
Display name: Tinybird
Host: {% user("clickhouseHost") %}
Port: 443
Database Name: <WORKSPACE_NAME>  # Your workspace name
Username: <WORKSPACE_NAME>  # Your workspace name
Password: {% user("JWT") %}  # Your Tinybird auth token
Require SSL: Yes
```

Then create a **New Dataset** selecting the previously created connection.

{% callout type="info" %}
See the list of [ClickHouse hosts](../clickhouse-interface#clickhouse-interface-hosts) to find the correct one for your region.
{% /callout %}
