exasol-quickstart

One command to try Exasol with AI add-ons — a base Exasol database plus the MCP Server (LLM/agent access) and, optionally, JSON Tables (JSON → SQL), chosen automatically for your operating system.

Status (0.1.1): brings up Exasol Nano (database) + the official Exasol MCP server image as a sidecar, via Docker, on any OS — tested end-to-end. The per-OS native bases (Personal on macOS, Nano .run on Linux) and JSON Tables are next.

Usage

# from PyPI (reserved name) — or the latest from git:
pipx install git+https://github.com/krishna-exasol/exasol-quickstart.git

exasol-quickstart --base nano-docker        # Exasol Nano + MCP (works today, any OS w/ Docker)
exasol-quickstart --dry-run                 # show the plan without doing anything
exasol-quickstart --help

After it comes up: database on 127.0.0.1:8563 (sys/exasol), MCP at http://127.0.0.1:4896/mcp. Stop with docker rm -f exasol-quickstart.

How it will work (per OS)

OS	Base	Add-ons	Docker?
macOS (Apple Silicon)	Exasol Personal (local VM)	host: MCP + JSON Tables	No
Linux	Exasol Nano (native .run)	Nano stacks	No
Windows	Exasol Nano (Docker)	Nano stacks	Yes
