A powerful multi-database server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide AI assistants with structured access to databases.
## Overview
The DB MCP Server provides a standardized way for AI models to interact with multiple databases simultaneously. Built on the [FreePeak/cortex](https://github.com/FreePeak/cortex) framework, it enables AI assistants to execute SQL queries, manage transactions, explore schemas, and analyze performance across different database systems through a unified interface.
## Core Concepts
### Multi-Database Support
Unlike traditional database connectors, DB MCP Server can connect to and interact with multiple databases concurrently:
```json
{
"connections": [
{
"id": "mysql1",
"type": "mysql",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3306,
"name": "db1",
"user": "user1",
"password": "password1"
},
{
"id": "postgres1",
"type": "postgres",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"name": "db2",
"user": "user2",
"password": "password2"
}
]
}
```
### Dynamic Tool Generation
For each connected database, the server automatically generates specialized tools:
```go
// For a database with ID "mysql1", these tools are generated:
query_mysql1 // Execute SQL queries
execute_mysql1 // Run data modification statements
transaction_mysql1 // Manage transactions
schema_mysql1 // Explore database schema
performance_mysql1 // Analyze query performance
```
### Clean Architecture
The server follows Clean Architecture principles with these layers:
1. **Domain Layer**: Core business entities and interfaces
2. **Repository Layer**: Data access implementations
3. **Use Case Layer**: Application business logic
4. **Delivery Layer**: External interfaces (MCP tools)
## Features
- **Simultaneous Multi-Database Support**: Connect to multiple MySQL and PostgreSQL databases concurrently
- **Database-Specific Tool Generation**: Auto-creates specialized tools for each connected database
- **Clean Architecture**: Modular design with clear separation of concerns
- **OpenAI Agents SDK Compatibility**: Full compatibility for seamless AI assistant integration
- **Dynamic Database Tools**: Execute queries, run statements, manage transactions, explore schemas, analyze performance
- **Unified Interface**: Consistent interaction patterns across different database types
- **Connection Management**: Simple configuration for multiple database connections
## Supported Databases
| Database | Status | Features |
| ---------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| MySQL | ✅ Full Support | Queries, Transactions, Schema Analysis, Performance Insights |
| PostgreSQL | ✅ Full Support (v9.6-17) | Queries, Transactions, Schema Analysis, Performance Insights |
| TimescaleDB| ✅ Full Support | Hypertables, Time-Series Queries, Continuous Aggregates, Compression, Retention Policies |
## Deployment Options
The DB MCP Server can be deployed in multiple ways to suit different environments and integration needs:
### Docker Deployment
```bash
# Pull the latest image
docker pull freepeak/db-mcp-server:latest
# Run with mounted config file
docker run -p 9092:9092 \
-v $(pwd)/config.json:/app/my-config.json \
-e TRANSPORT_MODE=sse \
-e CONFIG_PATH=/app/my-config.json \
freepeak/db-mcp-server
```
> **Note**: Mount to `/app/my-config.json` as the container has a default file at `/app/config.json`.
### STDIO Mode (IDE Integration)
```bash
# Run the server in STDIO mode
./bin/server -t stdio -c config.json
```
For Cursor IDE integration, add to `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"stdio-db-mcp-server": {
"command": "/path/to/db-mcp-server/server",
"args": ["-t", "stdio", "-c", "/path/to/config.json"]
}
}
}
```
### SSE Mode (Server-Sent Events)
```bash
# Default configuration (localhost:9092)
./bin/server -t sse -c config.json
# Custom host and port
./bin/server -t sse -host 0.0.0.0 -port 8080 -c config.json
```
Client connection endpoint: `http://localhost:9092/sse`
### Source Code Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/FreePeak/db-mcp-server.git
cd db-mcp-server
# Build the server
make build
# Run the server
./bin/server -t sse -c config.json
```
## Configuration
### Database Configuration File
Create a `config.json` file with your database connections:
```json
{
"connections": [
{
"id": "mysql1",
"type": "mysql",
"host": "mysql1",
"port": 3306,
"name": "db1",
"user": "user1",
"password": "password1",
"query_timeout": 60,
"max_open_conns": 20,
"max_idle_conns": 5,
"conn_max_lifetime_seconds": 300,
"conn_max_idle_time_seconds": 60
},
{
"id": "postgres1",
"type": "postgres",
"host": "postgres1",
"port": 5432,
"name": "db1",
"user": "user1",
