Server For MSSQL

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides secure access to on-premise MSSQL databases. It allows MCP clients to execute SQL queries, retrieve database metadata, and perform various database operations through a standardized protocol.

Features

• Database Tools: Execute SQL queries, stored procedures, and retrieve metadata
• Schema Exploration: Get database schemas, tables, views, columns, and distinct values
• Secure Authentication: API key-based authentication for database access
• Session Management: HTTP-based transport with session handling
• Error Monitoring: Integrated Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring
• Docker Containerization: Easy deployment in containerized environments

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• TypeScript
• Access to on-premise MSSQL database
• Docker and Docker Compose (for containerized deployment)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Build the project:

   npm run build
   

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables:

# Database Configuration
DB_USER=your-db-user
DB_PASSWORD=your-db-password
DB_SERVER=your-db-server
DB_NAME=your-db-name
TRUST_CERT=false  # Set to true for self-signed certificates

# API Configuration
API_KEY=your-static-api-key
PORT=3000  # Optional, defaults to 3000

# Monitoring
SENTRY_DSN=your-sentry-dsn  # Optional, for error tracking

Database Connection

The server connects to an MSSQL database using the mssql package. Ensure your database server allows connections from the server host.

Usage

Development

npm run dev

Production

npm run build
npm start

The server will start on the specified port (default 3000) and listen for MCP requests at /mcp endpoint.

Available Tools

get_databases

Get a list of all databases on the server.

Parameters: None

get_tables

Get a list of all tables in the specified database, organized by schema.

Parameters:

• database (string, optional): Database name (defaults to configured default)

get_list_views

Get a list of all views in the specified database, organized by schema.

Parameters:

• database (string, optional): Database name (defaults to configured default)

get_columns

Get column information for a specific table or view.

Parameters:

• table (string): Fully qualified table name (schema.table)
• database (string, optional): Database name (defaults to configured default)

run_sql

Execute any SQL command on the database.

Parameters:

• query (string): SQL query to execute

execute_stored_procedure

Execute a stored procedure with parameters.

Parameters:

• procedure (string): Stored procedure name
• parameters (array, optional): Array of parameter objects with name and value
• database (string, optional): Database name (defaults to configured default)

get_table_joins

Get join information from 'Joins' extended property on tables.

Parameters:

• table (string, optional): Specific table name (if not provided, returns joins for all tables)
• database (string): Database name

get_distinct_values

Get distinct values from a column, capped at 50 unique values, plus the total count.

Parameters:

• table (string): Fully qualified table name (schema.table)
• column (string): Column name
• database (string, optional): Database name (defaults to configured default)

Docker Deployment

The project includes Docker support for easy deployment.

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose installed

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository
2. Configure environment variables in .env file
3. Start the services:

   docker-compose up --build
   

This will start the MCP server in a container.

Environment Variables for Docker

# Database
DB_USER=your-db-user
DB_PASSWORD=your-db-password
DB_SERVER=your-db-server
DB_NAME=your-db-name
TRUST_CERT=false

# API
API_KEY=your-api-key
PORT=3000

# Monitoring
SENTRY_DSN=your-sentry-dsn

MCP Client Integration

This server can be used with any MCP-compatible client.

Configuration for Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "database-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/project/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Testing the Server

You can test the server using curl:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list", "params": {}}'

Security Considerations

• Authentication is required for all operations using Bearer token
• Database credentials are stored securely as environment variables
• All queries are logged for audit purposes
• Sensitive data should be handled according to your organization's security policies

Project Structure

src/
  index.ts          # Main entry point
  server.ts         # MCP server implementation with HTTP transport
  config.ts         # Configuration and environment variables
  db.ts             # Database connection pool management

Adding New Tools

1. Define the tool schema in the tools array in tools.ts
2. Implement the handler function
3. Add the handler to the toolHandlers map
4. Update the handleToolCall function if needed

Building and Running

# Development with auto-reload
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Run production build
npm start

# Clean build artifacts
npm run clean

Monitoring and Logging

The server integrates with Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring. Configure SENTRY_DSN to enable.

All database operations are logged to the console for debugging and audit purposes.
