# MCP Data Analyst
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables natural language querying of SQL databases using AI. Connect your database and ask questions in plain English - the server will generate and execute SQL queries for you.
## Features
- 🤖 **Natural Language to SQL**: Ask questions in plain English, get SQL results
- 🔌 **Multiple Database Support**: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, SQLite, SSAS (MDX), Elasticsearch (SQL), InfluxDB (InfluxQL)
- 📊 **Schema Auto-Discovery**: Automatically scans and caches your database schema
- 🛠️ **MCP Integration**: Works seamlessly with MCP-compatible clients
- ⚡ **Efficient**: Connection pooling and schema caching for performance
- 🔒 **Read-only by Design**: Only SELECT-style queries are executed
## Query Languages
- **SQL**: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, SQLite, Elasticsearch (SQL API)
- **MDX**: SSAS
- **InfluxQL**: InfluxDB
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- One of: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, SQLite, SSAS, Elasticsearch, or InfluxDB
- OpenAI API key (or compatible API endpoint)
### Setup
1. **Clone the repository**:
```bash
cd /path/to/your/workspace
```
2. **Create a virtual environment** (recommended):
```bash
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
```
3. **Install dependencies**:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4. **Configure environment variables**:
Copy the example below and create a `.env` file:
```env
# LLM Configuration
LLM_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
LLM_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
LLM_API_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
# Database Configuration
DB_TYPE=mysql # mysql|postgresql|mssql|mongodb|sqlite|ssas|elasticsearch|influxdb
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306 # 5432 (PostgreSQL), 1433 (MSSQL), 27017 (MongoDB), 2383 (SSAS), 9200 (Elasticsearch), 8086 (InfluxDB)
DB_USER=root
DB_PASSWORD=your-password
DB_NAME=your-database-name # For InfluxDB: database name; for SSAS/Elasticsearch: catalog/index database name
# SQLite only
# DB_PATH=database.db
```
## Usage
### Running the MCP Server
Start the server using the standard MCP stdio transport:
```bash
python server.py
```
The server will:
1. Validate configuration
2. Connect to your database
3. Build a schema cache
4. Start listening for MCP requests
### Available MCP Tools
The server exposes 3 tools that can be called by MCP clients:
#### 1. `query_database_with_prompt`
Ask questions in natural language and get SQL results.
```python
# Example: "Show me the top 5 customers by total purchases"
{
"success": true,
"query": "SELECT c.name, SUM(o.total) as total_purchases FROM customers c...",
"data": [...]
}
```
#### 2. `get_database_schema`
Retrieve the complete database schema.
```python
{
"success": true,
"schema": {
"users": {
"name": "users",
"columns": {...}
}
}
}
```
#### 3. `build_db_definition`
Rebuild the schema cache from the database.
```python
{
"success": true,
"message": "Successfully loaded schema for 8 tables",
"tables": ["users", "orders", "products", ...]
}
```
### Integration with MCP Clients
To use this server with an MCP client (like Claude Desktop), add it to your MCP configuration:
**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"data-analyst": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-data-analyst/server.py"],
"env": {
"LLM_API_KEY": "your-key",
"DB_TYPE": "mysql",
"DB_HOST": "localhost",
"DB_NAME": "your_db"
}
}
}
}
```
## Development
### Adding a New Database Type
1. Create a new file in `DataAnalyst/database/Type/` (e.g., `SQLite.py`)
2. Extend the `BaseDatabase` abstract class
3. Implement all required methods: `__init__`, `execute_query`, `build_definition`, `close`
4. Add the new type to `DbTypes` enum
5. Update `DataAnalyst/database/Type/__init__.py` to export your class
6. Update `server.py` to handle the new database type
## Examples
### Example 1: Customer Analysis
```
Query: "Show me the top 10 customers by total order value"
Generated SQL:
SELECT c.customer_name, SUM(o.total_amount) as total_value
FROM customers c
JOIN orders o ON c.id = o.customer_id
GROUP BY c.id, c.customer_name
ORDER BY total_value DESC
LIMIT 10;
```
### Example 2: Product Inventory
```
Query: "Which products are low in stock (less than 10 units)?"
Generated SQL:
SELECT product_name, quantity_in_stock
FROM products
WHERE quantity_in_stock < 10
ORDER BY quantity_in_stock ASC;
```
## Contributing
Contributions are welcome! Please ensure:
1. Code follows PEP 8 style guidelines
2. All functions have type hints and docstrings
3. New database types extend `BaseDatabase`
4. Changes maintain backward compatibility
