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
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/manpreet2000/mcp-database-server.git
cd mcp-database-server
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- 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/nodewith your Node.js executable path or just usenode/path/to/mcp-databasewith the absolute path to this repositoryyour-mongodb-connection-stringwith your MongoDB connection URL
Usage Examples
MongoDB Examples
- List all collections in your database:
Can you show me all the collections in my database?
- Get specific records from a collection:
Give me 2 records from the chargers collection
- Query with filters:
Show me all documents in the users collection where status is active
- Insert a document:
Add a new user to the users collection with name John and email [email protected]
- Delete a document:
Remove the user with email [email protected] from the users collection
- 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 collectionlimit: Maximum number of documents to return (default: 10, max: 1000)query: MongoDB query objectprojection: Fields to include/exclude
3. insertOne
Inserts a single document into a collection:
collectionName: Name of the collectiondocument: Document object to insert
4. deleteOne
Deletes a single document from a collection:
collectionName: Name of the collectionquery: Query to match the document to delete
5. aggregate
Executes an aggregation pipeline:
collectionName: Name of the collectionpipeline: Array of aggregation stagesoptions: 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
