About

Provides a bridge between MongoDB databases and natural language, enabling collection listing, document querying, record manipulation, and aggregate operations without writing complex queries.

README

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact with various databases through natural language. Currently supports MongoDB, with plans to support:

  • PostgreSQL
  • CockroachDB
  • Redis
  • And more...

Features

  • Database operations through natural language
  • Currently supports MongoDB with features:
    • List all collections
    • Query documents with filtering and projection
    • Insert documents
    • Delete documents
    • Aggregate pipeline operations
  • Future support for other databases:
    • PostgreSQL: SQL queries, table operations
    • CockroachDB: Distributed SQL operations
    • Redis: Key-value operations, caching

Prerequisites

  • Node.js v20.12.2 or higher
  • Database (currently MongoDB, other databases coming soon)
  • Claude Desktop Application

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/manpreet2000/mcp-database-server.git
cd mcp-database-server
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the TypeScript code:
npm run build

Configuration

To get started, you need to configure your database connection in your Claude Desktop configuration file:

MacOS

~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "database": {
      "command": "/path/to/node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-database/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "MONGODB_URI": "your-mongodb-connection-string"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace:

  • /path/to/node with your Node.js executable path or just use node
  • /path/to/mcp-database with the absolute path to this repository
  • your-mongodb-connection-string with your MongoDB connection URL

Usage Examples

MongoDB Examples

  1. List all collections in your database:
Can you show me all the collections in my database?
  1. Get specific records from a collection:
Give me 2 records from the chargers collection
  1. Query with filters:
Show me all documents in the users collection where status is active
  1. Insert a document:
Add a new user to the users collection with name John and email [email protected]
  1. Delete a document:
Remove the user with email [email protected] from the users collection
  1. Aggregate data:
Show me the total count of users by status in the users collection

Available Tools

1. getCollections

Lists all collections in the connected database.

2. getCollection

Retrieves documents from a collection with optional query parameters:

  • collectionName: Name of the collection
  • limit: Maximum number of documents to return (default: 10, max: 1000)
  • query: MongoDB query object
  • projection: Fields to include/exclude

3. insertOne

Inserts a single document into a collection:

  • collectionName: Name of the collection
  • document: Document object to insert

4. deleteOne

Deletes a single document from a collection:

  • collectionName: Name of the collection
  • query: Query to match the document to delete

5. aggregate

Executes an aggregation pipeline:

  • collectionName: Name of the collection
  • pipeline: Array of aggregation stages
  • options: Optional aggregation options

Future Database Support

PostgreSQL

  • SQL query execution
  • Table operations
  • Schema management
  • Transaction support

CockroachDB

  • Distributed SQL operations
  • Multi-region support
  • Transaction management
  • Schema operations

Redis

  • Key-value operations
  • Caching mechanisms
  • Pub/sub operations
  • Data structure operations

Security

  • Never commit your database connection strings to version control
  • Use environment variables for sensitive information
  • Follow database-specific security best practices
