Model Context Protocol Demo

MCP PostgreSQL Demo

A FastMCP server that enables LLMs to connect and interact with PostgreSQL databases. This project demonstrates how to use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow Language Models to query and explore database schemas and tables.

Features

• Schema Exploration: Retrieve metadata about database schemas
• Table Inspection: Get detailed information about table structures
• Database Querying: Execute SQL queries against the database
• YAML Formatting: Results are returned in YAML format for easy consumption by LLMs

Resources

The server exposes the following MCP resources:

• database://{schema} - Get information about all tables in a schema
• database://{schema}/tables/{table} - Get detailed information about a specific table

Tools

• query_database - Execute SQL queries against the database (SELECT queries only)

Prompts

The server includes the following predefined prompts:

• prompt_schema_description - Ask for a description of a database schema
• prompt_table_description - Ask for a description of a specific table
• prompt_query_database - Ask for data from a specific table

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher
• PostgreSQL database
• UV package manager (recommended)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd mcp-demo
   

2. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install UV (if not already installed):

   pip install uv
   

4. Install dependencies with UV:

   uv sync
   

5. Configure environment variables:

   • Copy .env.example to .env
   • Update the values according to your PostgreSQL configuration

Configuration

The application is configured using environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default
APP_NAME	Application name	mcp-demo
DB_HOST	PostgreSQL host	localhost
DB_PORT	PostgreSQL port	5432
DB_USER	PostgreSQL username	postgres
DB_PASSWORD	PostgreSQL password	postgres
DB_NAME	PostgreSQL database name	postgres

Usage

1. First, uncomment the run function in src/main.py by removing the comment from these lines at the bottom of the file:

   # if __name__ == "__main__":
   #     print("Starting FastMCP server...")
   #     mcp.run()
   

2. Start the FastMCP server:

   python -m src.main
   

3. The server will be available for LLMs to connect to and query your PostgreSQL database. With the server running, the MCP can be loaded into client applications for interaction.

Client Configuration

To use this MCP in a client application, add the following configuration to your client's MCP configuration file (e.g., .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/mcp",
      "args": ["run", "/path/to/your/postgres-mcp/src/main.py"],
      "env": {
        "APP_NAME": "mcp-demo",
        "DB_HOST": "localhost",
        "DB_PORT": "5432",
        "DB_USER": "postgres",
        "DB_PASSWORD": "postgres",
        "DB_NAME": "postgres"
      }
    }
  }
}

Be sure to replace the paths with the actual paths to your virtual environment and project directory, and update the environment variables to match your PostgreSQL configuration.

Development

Install development dependencies with UV:

uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

Development tools included:

• JupyterLab for notebooks
• Pyright for type checking
• Ruff for linting

Docker

To run the application with Docker:

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t mcp-demo .
   

2. Run the container:

   docker run --env-file .env.docker -p 8000:8000 mcp-demo
   

Example Usage

Get Schema Information

from mcp.client import get_client

client = get_client("http://localhost:8000")
schema_info = client.get_resource("database://public")
print(schema_info)

Get Table Details

table_info = client.get_resource("database://public/tables/users")
print(table_info)

Execute a Query

result = client.invoke_tool("query_database", {"query": "SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10"})
print(result)
