What is MCP Database Server?

The MCP Database Server is a tool that allows you to connect to and work with different database systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It acts as a bridge, enabling applications to interact with databases like SQLite, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MongoDB through a consistent interface.

How to use MCP Database Server?

The server can be used in SSE mode (default) or STDIO mode. In SSE mode, it starts an HTTP server with an SSE endpoint. In STDIO mode, it communicates over standard input/output. You can integrate it with tools like Claude Desktop by configuring the connection details in the respective configuration file. Database connections are configured using environment variables or by passing parameters to the 'connect-database' tool.
