MCP Toolbox for Databases
MCP Toolbox for Databases is an open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects your AI agents, IDEs, and applications directly to your enterprise databases.
It serves a dual purpose:
- Ready-to-use MCP Server (Build-Time): Instantly connect Gemini CLI, Google Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex, or other MCP clients to your databases using our prebuilt generic tools. Talk to your data, explore schemas, and generate code without writing boilerplate.
- Custom Tools Framework (Run-Time): A robust framework to build specialized, highly secure AI tools for your production agents. Define structured queries, semantic search, and NL2SQL capabilities safely and easily.
This README provides a brief overview. For comprehensive details, see the full documentation.
[!IMPORTANT]
Repository Name Update: The genai-toolbox repository has been officially renamed to mcp-toolbox. To ensure your local environment reflects the new name, you may update your remote:
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox.git
[!NOTE]
This solution was originally named “Gen AI Toolbox for Databases” (github.com/googleapis/genai-toolbox) as its initial development predated MCP, but was renamed to align with the MCP compatibility.
