What is mcp-server-duckdb?
This server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) designed to interface with a DuckDB database. It allows Language Models (LLMs) and other MCP-compatible tools to interact with DuckDB, enabling database operations such as querying, data modification, table creation, and schema inspection.
How to use mcp-server-duckdb?
To use this server, you'll need to install it using Smithery or manually configure it. You'll then need to configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to point to the server, providing the path to the DuckDB database file. The server exposes several tools that can be called by the client to interact with the database, such as read-query, write-query, create-table, list-tables, and describe-table.
