MCP Database Server

Comprehensive database server supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite with natural language SQL query capabilities. Enables AI agents to interact with databases through both direct SQL and natural language queries.

Features

• Multi-Database Support: Works with SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL
• Natural Language Queries: Convert natural language to SQL automatically
• Direct SQL Execution: Execute raw SQL with safety checks
• Schema Inspection: List tables and describe table structures
• FastAPI Web Interface: RESTful API endpoints for web integration
• Docker Ready: Fully containerized with health checks

Example Queries

Here are some example questions you can ask your agent:

# Basic queries
"Show me all users in the database"
"What tables are available?"
"Describe the products table structure"

# Complex analysis
"Find the top 5 customers by total order value"
"Show me users who registered in the last month"
"What's the average product price by category?"

# Data exploration
"How many orders were placed yesterday?"
"List all products that are out of stock"
"Find duplicate email addresses in the users table"

Configuration

The server requires a DATABASE_URL environment variable with your database connection string:

SQLite (recommended for testing)

DATABASE_URL=sqlite+aiosqlite:///data/mydb.db

PostgreSQL

DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb

MySQL

DATABASE_URL=mysql+aiomysql://user:password@localhost:3306/mydb

Docker Usage

# Run with SQLite (simplest setup)
docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=sqlite+aiosqlite:///data/mydb.db \
  souhardyak/mcp-db-server

# Run with PostgreSQL
docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql+asyncpg://user:password@host:5432/db \
  souhardyak/mcp-db-server

# Run with persistent SQLite storage
docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v /host/data:/data \
  -e DATABASE_URL=sqlite+aiosqlite:///data/mydb.db \
  souhardyak/mcp-db-server

Health Check

The server provides a health endpoint at /health that returns database connectivity status.
