Interact with SingleStore databases using natural language to run SQL queries, manage workspaces, create environments, a
Enables natural language interactions with SingleStore databases for executing SQL queries, managing workspaces, creating virtual environments, and handling scheduled jobs through direct database access.
SingleStore is an official MCP server published by singlestore-labs that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. Interact with SingleStore databases using natural language to run SQL queries, manage workspaces, create environments, a It is categorized under databases.
You can install SingleStore in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.

SingleStore is released under the MIT license. This is a permissive open-source license, meaning you can freely use, modify, and distribute the software.
Enable Claude to query your database directly using natural language
Example
Ask 'Show me top 10 customers by revenue this month' and get SQL results instantly
Eliminate manual SQL writing for ad-hoc queries, get insights 10x faster
Generate complex reports and analytics without leaving conversation
Example
Analyze sales trends, cohort retention, user behavior patterns conversationally
Democratize data access—non-technical team members can query databases
Understand database structure, relationships, and data models
Example
'Explain the user_orders table schema and its relationships'
Onboard engineers faster, explore unfamiliar databases efficiently
Share your MCP server with the developer community
I recommend SingleStore for teams standardizing on MCP; the explainx.ai page compares cleanly with sibling servers.
SingleStore reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.
We evaluated SingleStore against two servers with overlapping tools; this profile had the clearer scope statement.
We wired SingleStore into a staging workspace; the listing’s GitHub and npm pointers saved time versus hunting across READMEs.
SingleStore is among the better-indexed MCP projects we tried; the explainx.ai summary tracks the official description.

SingleStore is among the better-indexed MCP projects we tried; the explainx.ai summary tracks the official description.
SingleStore is a well-scoped MCP server in the explainx.ai directory — install snippets and categories matched our Claude Code setup.
SingleStore has been reliable for tool-calling workflows; the MCP profile page is a good permalink for internal docs.
Strong directory entry: SingleStore surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol designed to manage context between large language models (LLMs) and external systems. This repository provides an installer and an MCP Server for Singlestore, enabling seamless integration.
With MCP, you can use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any compatible MCP client to interact with SingleStore using natural language, making it easier to perform complex operations effortlessly.
💡 Pro Tip: Not sure what the MCP server can do? Just call the /help prompt in your chat!
First, install the SingleStore MCP server with your client.
Standard config works in most of the tools:
{
"mcpServers": {
"singlestore-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"singlestore-mcp-server",
"start"
]
}
}
}
No API keys, tokens, or environment variables required! The server automatically handles authentication via browser OAuth when started.

You can build the Docker image yourself:
docker build -t singlestore/mcp-server-singlestore .
For better security, we recommend using Docker Desktop to configure the SingleStore MCP server—see this blog post for details on Docker's new MCP Catalog.
The server implements the following tools:
get_user_info: Retrieve details about the current user
organization_info: Retrieve details about the user's current organization
choose_organization: Choose from available organizations (only available when API key environment variable is not set)
set_organization: Set the active organization (only available when API key environment variable is not set)
organization_id (string)workspace_groups_info: Retrieve details about the workspace groups accessible to the user
workspaces_info: Retrieve details about the workspaces in a specific workspace group
workspace_group_id (string)resume_workspace: Resume a suspended workspace
workspace_id (string)list_starter_workspaces: List all starter workspaces accessible to the user
create_starter_workspace: Create a new starter workspace
terminate_starter_workspace: Terminate an existing starter workspace
workspace_id (string)list_regions: Retrieve a list of all regions that support workspaces
list_sharedtier_regions: Retrieve a list of shared tier regions
run_sql: Execute SQL operations on a connected workspace
workspace_id, database, sql_query, and connection parameterscreate_notebook_file: Create a new notebook file in SingleStore Spaces
notebook_name, content (optional)upload_notebook_file: Upload a notebook file to SingleStore Spaces
file_path, notebook_namecreate_job_from_notebook: Create a scheduled job from a notebook
notebook_path, schedule_mode, etc.get_job: Retrieve details of an existing job
job_id (string)delete_job: Delete an existing job
job_id (string)Note: Organization management tools (choose_organization and set_organization) are only available when the API key environment variable is not set, allowing for interactive organization selection during OAuth authentication.

✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
MCP server acts as bridge between Claude and database, translating natural language to SQL queries and returning results in structured format.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use for ad-hoc data queries, exploratory analysis, report generation, schema exploration, and democratizing data access. Best for read-heavy analytics workloads.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for production write operations, mission-critical transactions, real-time OLTP workloads, or when database contains sensitive PII without proper access controls. Use read replicas, not primary.
