🛠️ Architecture
SQLGenius uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expose tools that enable:
- Natural Language Processing: Convert English questions to SQL
- Data Exploration: Fetch schema information and sample data
- SQL Execution: Run validated queries against your database
The architecture consists of:
- MCP Server: Handles DB connection and provides tools
- Streamlit Frontend: User interface for interacting with the system
- Vertex AI (Gemini Pro): Powers natural language understanding
- BigQuery: Executes SQL queries on your data
📝 MCP Tools
The following MCP tools are available:
execute_nl_query: Execute a natural language queryexecute_sql_query: Execute a raw SQL querylist_tables: List all available tablesget_table_schema: Get schema for a specific table
📚 Advanced Usage
To add custom tools to the MCP server:
- Edit the
register_tools()method insql_mcp_server.py - Add your custom tool using the
