AgentMode MCP server

AgentMode is an all-in-one Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects your coding AI to dozens of databases, data warehouses, and data pipelines. It allows your AI assistant to interact directly with your data sources, making it easier to query and analyze your data without leaving your coding environment.

Installation

Quick Start for VS Code

You can install AgentMode in VS Code or VS Code Insiders using the dedicated installation links. You'll need to replace the placeholder credentials with your actual database connection details.

For manual installation, first install uv if you haven't already, then run:

uvx agentmode

Configuring Database Connections

AgentMode supports a wide range of databases. Each database connection requires specific parameters:

• host
• port
• username
• password
• database_name
• read_only

For example, to configure a MySQL connection:

uvx agentmode \
--mysql:host host \
--mysql:port port \
--mysql:username username \
--mysql:password password \
--mysql:database_name database_name \
--mysql:read_only true

Supported Databases

AgentMode works with numerous database systems, including:

• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• BigQuery
• Redshift
• Snowflake
• MariaDB
• SQL Server
• CockroachDB
• Oracle
• ClickHouse
• And many more

                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

Cursor Configuration

Create a ~/.cursor/mcp.json file in your home directory:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "inputs": [],
        "servers": {
            "agentmode": {

                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

Windsurf Configuration

Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and add:

{

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
