Hologres MCP Server

Hologres MCP Server serves as a universal interface between AI Agents and Hologres databases. It enables seamless communication between AI Agents and Hologres, helping AI Agents retrieve Hologres database metadata and execute SQL operations.

Features

  • Dual Transport Mode Support: Run in either STDIO or SSE mode
  • Database Metadata Access: Retrieve schema and table information
  • SQL Execution: Execute SQL queries and analyze results
  • Statistics Management: Collect and view table statistics
  • Query Planning: Get query plans and execution plans

Transport Modes

Hologres MCP Server supports two transport modes:

  1. STDIO Mode: Uses standard input/output streams for communication. This is the traditional mode used by many MCP servers.

  2. SSE Mode (Server-Sent Events): Uses HTTP-based streaming for communication. This mode allows for easier integration with web applications and cloud environments.

By default, the server runs in SSE mode. You can specify the mode using the --transport command-line argument.

Configuration

Environment Variables

The server is configured through environment variables:

| Variable | Description | Default | |----------|-------------|---------| | SERVER_HOST | Host address for SSE mode | 0.0.0.0 | | SERVER_PORT | Port number for SSE mode | 8001 | | HOLOGRES_HOST | Hologres database host | localhost | | HOLOGRES_PORT | Hologres database port | 5432 | | HOLOGRES_USER | Hologres database username | (required) | | HOLOGRES_PASSWORD | Hologres database password | (required) | | HOLOGRES_DATABASE | Hologres database name | (required) |

Test Cases and Examples

The repository includes several examples and test cases to help you understand how to use the Hologres MCP Server:

Python Examples

SSE Mode Client

The python_sse_client.py example demonstrates how to connect to the server in SSE mode using Python:

# Connect to SSE endpoint
sse_client = connect_to_sse()

# Initialize the connection
initialize()

# List available tools
tools_response = list_tools()

# Execute a SQL query
sql_result = call_tool("execute_sql", {
    "query": "SELECT 'Hello, Hologres!' AS greeting"
})

# List all schemas
schemas_result = read_resource("hologres:///schemas")
STDIO Mode Client

The python_stdio_client.py example shows how to interact with the server in STDIO mode:

# Start the client
client = StdioClient(command)

# Initialize the connection
client.send_message("initialize", {
    "clientInfo": {
        "name": "python-stdio-test-client",
        "version": "1.0.0"
    }
})

# Execute a SQL query
client.send_message("callTool", {
    "name": "execute_sql",
    "arguments": {
        "query": "SELECT 'Hello, Hologres!' AS greeting"
    }
})

Node.js Example

The nodejs_sse_client.js example demonstrates how to connect to the server in SSE mode using Node.js:

// Connect to SSE endpoint
eventSource = await connectToSSE();

// Initialize the connection
await initialize();

// Execute a SQL query
const sqlResult = await callTool('execute_sql', {
  query: "SELECT 'Hello, Hologres!' AS greeting"
});

Unit Tests

The test_server.py file contains unit tests that verify the server's functionality:

# Test initializing the connection
def test_01_initialize(self):
    response = self.send_message("initialize", {
        "clientInfo": {
            "name": "test-client",
            "version": "1.0.0"
        }
    })
    
    self.assertIn("result", response)
    self.assertIn("protocolVersion", response["result"])

# Test listing available tools
def test_02_list_tools(self):
    response = self.send_message("listTools")
    
    self.assertIn("result", response)
    self.assertIn("tools", response["result"])

To run the tests:

# Set up environment variables first
python examples/test_server.py

Integration with MCP Clients

Cherry Studio

Cherry Studio is an open-source AI Client that supports MCP servers. To integrate with Cherry Studio:

  1. Install Cherry Studio from the GitHub releases page
  2. Configure your MCP server in Cherry Studio:
    • For SSE mode: Use the host and port (e.g., http://localhost:8001)
    • For STDIO mode: Configure the command and arguments as shown in the configuration examples above

Development

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • uv for package management

Local Development

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Set up environment variables
  3. Run the server in development mode: 
    # For SSE mode
python -m hologres_mcp_server.main

# For STDIO mode
python -m hologres_mcp_server.main --transport stdio

Testing

For testing with the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

Then connect to your server:

  • For SSE mode: Use the URL (e.g., http://localhost:8001)
  • For STDIO mode: Use the command configuration

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how AI applications communicate with external data sources and tools. Whether you're building AI-powered IDEs, enhancing chat interfaces, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.

Hologres MCP Server implements the MCP protocol, enabling AI agents to easily access data and functionality in Hologres databases. By supporting both STDIO and SSE transport modes, it provides flexible deployment options for various environments and use cases.
