The MCP Database Server is now production-ready with full database connectivity, security measures, and comprehensive testing. All core features are implemented and tested.

Installation

$3

The easiest way to use the MCP Database Server is with npx. No installation or build required!

`bash


Instant usage - no installation needed

npx @ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server

Quick test to verify it works

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0.0"}}}' | npx @ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server
`

✅ Ready for MCP Configuration: Just use "command": "npx" and "args": ["@ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server"] in your MCP configuration file.

$3

For development or customization:

`bash


Clone the repository

git clone
cd mcp-database-server

Install dependencies

npm install

Build for MCP usage

npm run build

Start in development mode

npm run dev
`

$3

`bash


Install globally

npm install -g @ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server

Use directly

mcp-database-server
`

Note: For MCP usage, you don't need .env file. All configuration is done through mcp.json environment variables.

Multi-Connection Management

The MCP Database Server supports managing multiple database connections simultaneously with advanced error handling and recovery capabilities.

$3

The server tracks all configured connections, including:
- Connected: Successfully established connections
- Failed: Connections that failed to establish (with error details)
- Configured: Connections defined in configuration but not yet attempted

$3

When connections fail, the server provides:
- Detailed error reporting with specific failure reasons
- Automatic retry functionality via the retry_failed_connections tool
- Connection status monitoring to track success/failure rates
- Graceful degradation - server continues operating with available connections

$3

If you're experiencing issues with multiple connections:

1. Use list_connections tool to see all configured connections and their status
2. Check error messages for specific failure reasons
3. Use retry_failed_connections tool to attempt reconnection
4. Verify database server status and network connectivity
5. Check credentials and permissions for each database

$3

`bash


List all connections (including failed ones)

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"list_connections","arguments":{}}}' | npx @ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server

Retry all failed connections

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"retry_failed_connections","arguments":{}}}' | npx @ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server

Retry specific connection

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"retry_failed_connections","arguments":{"connection_name":"my_postgres"}}}' | npx @ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server
`

Configuration

$3

Configure multiple databases using a JSON file pointed to by DATABASE_CONNECTIONS_FILE environment variable:

Step 1: Create a database configuration JSON file

Create databases.json (or any name you prefer):
`json
[
{
"name": "postgres_main",
"type": "postgresql",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"username": "postgres",
"password": "postgres",
"database": "maindb",
"maxConnections": 20,
"timeout": 30000
},
{
"name": "mysql_analytics",
"type": "mysql",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3306,
"username": "root",
"password": "password",
"database": "analytics",
"maxConnections": 15,
"timeout": 30000
},
{
"name": "sqlite_cache",
"type": "sqlite",
"path": "./data/cache.db",
"maxConnections": 1,
"timeout": 10000
}
]
`

Step 2: Set environment variables

`env


Server Configuration

SERVER_HOST=localhost
SERVER_PORT=8000
LOG_LEVEL=info
ENABLE_AUDIT_LOGGING=true
ENABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true

Security Keys (Generate strong random keys for production)

SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here
ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-encryption-key-here

File-based JSON Database Connections (Recommended)

DATABASE_CONNECTIONS_FILE=./config/databases.json
`

Benefits of file-based configuration:
- ✅ Better syntax highlighting and validation in your editor
- ✅ Easier to maintain and version control
- ✅ No escaping issues with quotes or special characters
- ✅ Can be shared across different deployment environments
- ✅ Supports comments (if using JSON5 or YAML in the future)

$3

Configure multiple databases using the DATABASE_CONNECTIONS environment variable:

`env


Server Configuration (same as Option 1)

SERVER_HOST=localhost
SERVER_PORT=8000
LOG_LEVEL=info
ENABLE_AUDIT_LOGGING=true
ENABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here
ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-encryption-key-here

Direct JSON Database Connections (Legacy - still supported but not recommended)

DATABASE_CONNECTIONS='[
{
"name": "postgres_main",
"type": "postgresql",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5432,
"username": "postgres",
"password": "postgres",
"database": "maindb",
"maxConnections": 20,
"timeout": 30000
},
{
"name": "mysql_analytics",
"type": "mysql",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3306,
"username": "root",
"password": "password",
"database": "analytics",
"maxConnections": 15,
"timeout": 30000
},
{
"name": "sqlite_cache",
"type": "sqlite",
"path": "./data/cache.db",
"maxConnections": 1,
"timeout": 10000
}
]'
`

Note: The direct JSON approach is still supported for backward compatibility but is deprecated. Use DATABASE_CONNECTIONS_FILE for better maintainability.

$3

For simpler setups, you can still use individual environment variables:

`env


Server Configuration (same as above)

SERVER_HOST=localhost
SERVER_PORT=8000
LOG_LEVEL=info
ENABLE_AUDIT_LOGGING=true
ENABLE_RATE_LIMITING=true
SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here
ENCRYPTION_KEY=your-encryption-key-here

Individual Database Configurations

SQLite Example

SQLITE_DB_PATH=./data/example.db

PostgreSQL Example

POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
POSTGRES_PORT=5432
POSTGRES_DATABASE=example_db
POSTGRES_USERNAME=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password

MySQL Example

MYSQL_HOST=localhost
MYSQL_PORT=3306
MYSQL_DATABASE=example_db
MYSQL_USERNAME=root
MYSQL_PASSWORD=password
`

$3

- JSON Format: Configure multiple databases of different types in a single variable
- Mixed Configuration: JSON connections are merged with individual env vars
- Priority: Individual env vars override JSON connections with the same name
- Validation: All configurations are validated using Zod schemas
- Flexible: Perfect for microservices, multi-tenant, and development environments

For more configuration examples, see examples/configuration-examples/json-connections.js.

Common Issues:

1. "Command not found" (npx)
- Ensure you have npm/node installed (version 18+)
- Check internet connection for package download
- Try: npm cache clean --force then retry

2. "Command not found" (local build)
- Ensure cwd points to correct directory
- Run npm run build first
- Check that dist/index.js exists

3. "Connection failed"
- Check database credentials in DATABASE_CONNECTIONS
- Verify database servers are running
- Test connections manually first

4. "Environment variable error"
- Escape JSON properly in DATABASE_CONNECTIONS
- Use double quotes for JSON properties
- Validate JSON format online

5. "Permission denied"
- Check file permissions in working directory
- Ensure Node.js has access to SQLite file path
- Create SQLite database directory if needed

6. "Package not found" (npx)
- Package may not be published yet
- Use local build method instead
- Check package name: @ahmetbarut/mcp-database-server

MCP Tools

The server provides these MCP tools:

$3

#### execute_query 🚀 NEW
Execute SQL queries on real database connections with parameterized query support.

`json
{
"name": "execute_query",
"description": "Execute SQL query on specified database connection",
"inputSchema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"connection_name": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Target database connection identifier"
},
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "SQL query to execute (supports parameterized queries)"
},
"database": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Optional database name (defaults to connection config)",
"optional": true
},
"parameters": {
"type": "array",
"description": "Query parameters for parameterized queries (recommended for security)",
"optional": true
}
},
"required": ["connection_name", "query"]
}
}
`

Usage Examples:

1. Simple SELECT query:
`bash
tools/call -> execute_query({
connection_name: "local_cache",
query: "SELECT 1 as test_number, 'Hello World' as message"
})
`

2. Parameterized query (security best practice):
`bash
tools/call -> execute_query({
connection_name: "postgres_main",
query: "SELECT * FROM users WHERE status = ? AND created_at > ?",
parameters: ["active", "2024-01-01"]
})
`

3. DDL operations:
`bash
tools/call -> execute_query({
connection_name: "local_cache",
query: "CREATE TABLE demo_users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT NOT NULL, email TEXT UNIQUE)"
})
`

4. DML operations with parameters:
`bash
tools/call -> execute_query({
connection_name: "mysql_analytics",
query: "INSERT INTO events (user_id, event_type, data) VALUES (?, ?, ?)",
parameters: [123, "page_view", "{\"page\": \"/dashboard\"}"]
})
`

Example Response:
`json
{
"status": "success",
"connection": {
"name": "local_cache",
"type": "sqlite",
"path": "./cache.db"
},
"query": {
"sql": "SELECT ? as param_value, ? as second_param",
"parameters": ["Test Value", "42"],
"type": "SELECT",
"executionTime": 2
},
"result": {
"rows": [
{
"param_value": "Test Value",
"second_param": "42"
}
],
"rowCount": 1,
"fields": [
{ "name": "param_value", "type": "TEXT" },
{ "name": "second_param", "type": "TEXT" }
]
},
"metadata": {
"timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:45.123Z",
"totalTime": 5
}
}
`

Error Response Example:
`json
{
"status": "error",
"connection": {
"name": "postgres_main",
"type": "postgresql"
},
"error": {
"message": "Connection failed: ECONNREFUSED",
"code": "CONNECTION_ERROR",
"details": "Could not connect to PostgreSQL server"
},
"query": {
"sql": "SELECT 1",
"parameters": []
},
"metadata": {
"timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:45.123Z"
}
}
`

#### list_databases ⚡ Enhanced with Smart Auto-Detection
Lists real databases from a specific connection or all configured connections. Now includes smart auto-detection for single active connections.

`json
{
"name": "list_databases",
"description": "List databases from a specific connection or all configured connections",
"inputSchema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"connection_name": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Name of the connection to list databases from. If not provided, lists all configured connections.",
"optional": true
}
}
}
}
`

Usage Examples:

1. List all configured connections (no parameters):
`bash


Returns summary of all configured database connections

NEW: If only 1 connection is active, automatically shows real databases from that connection

tools/call -> list_databases
`

2. List real databases within a specific connection:
`bash


Returns actual databases from live PostgreSQL server (not mock data)


tools/call -> list_databases({ connection_name: "postgres_main" })
`

3. Smart Auto-Detection (automatic single connection selection):
`bash


If you have 3 configured connections but only 1 active (e.g., SQLite),

the tool automatically detects and shows databases from the active connection

tools/call -> list_databases # Automatically uses the single active connection
`

Example Response for connection listing:
`json
{
"summary": {
"total_connections": 3,
"note": "These are configured connections. Use connection_name parameter to list actual databases within a connection."
},
"connections": [
