SingleStore MCP server for AI agents

The SingleStore MCP Server is a specialized server implementation for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing you to interact with SingleStore databases using natural language through compatible MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and more.

Installation

Requirements

Python 3.10 or higher
uvx installed in your Python environment
An MCP-compatible client (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.)

Basic Installation

The SingleStore MCP server can be installed and configured with most MCP clients using a standard configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "singlestore-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "singlestore-mcp-server",
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

No API keys or environment variables are needed for basic setup. The server handles authentication via browser OAuth when started.

Client-Specific Setup

Automatic Setup

For most clients, you can use the automatic initialization command:

uvx singlestore-mcp-server init --client=[client-name]

Replace [client-name] with one of: claude-desktop, claude-code, cursor, vscode, windsurf, gemini, or lm-studio.

Manual Setup for Specific Clients

Using Docker

If you prefer to use Docker, you'll need to provide an API key since OAuth isn't supported in Docker containers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "singlestore-mcp-server": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm", "--init", "--pull=always",
        "-e", "MCP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here",
        "singlestore/mcp-server-singlestore"
      ]
    }
  }
}

To build the Docker image yourself:

docker build -t singlestore/mcp-server-singlestore .

Using the MCP Server

Once installed, you can interact with SingleStore using natural language through your MCP client. The server provides several tools for different operations.

Available Tools

User and Organization Management

get_user_info: Retrieves current user details
organization_info: Gets details about the user's current organization
choose_organization: Select from available organizations
set_organization: Set the active organization

Workspace Management

workspace_groups_info: Get details about accessible workspace groups
workspaces_info: Retrieve details about workspaces in a specific group
resume_workspace: Resume a suspended workspace
list_starter_workspaces: View all accessible starter workspaces
create_starter_workspace: Create a new starter workspace
terminate_starter_workspace: Terminate an existing starter workspace
list_regions: Get all regions supporting workspaces
list_sharedtier_regions: Get shared tier regions

Data Operations

run_sql: Execute SQL queries on a connected workspace

Arguments: workspace_id, database, sql_query, and connection parameters

Notebook Management

create_notebook_file: Create a new notebook in SingleStore Spaces
upload_notebook_file: Upload a notebook to SingleStore Spaces
create_job_from_notebook: Schedule a job from a notebook
get_job: Get details of an existing job
delete_job: Delete an existing job

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "singlestore-mcp-server" '{"command":"uvx","args":["singlestore-mcp-server","start"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For 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 > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

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

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "singlestore-mcp-server": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "singlestore-mcp-server",
                "start"
            ]
        }
    }
}

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 explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "singlestore-mcp-server": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "singlestore-mcp-server",
                "start"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
