Tessell MCP Server

Tessell MCP Server is your AI-powered command center for cloud data and services. It connects your favorite IDEs (like VS Code, Cursor) or chat-based clients (like Claude) to Tessell—so you can manage everything using natural language.

With simple prompts, you can:

• Manage services, snapshots, and availability machines
• Explore and operate Tessell databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL, and more)
• Run queries, check health, and troubleshoot—without switching tools or writing scripts

Just describe what you want to do—Tessell MCP Server takes care of the rest.

Why Use Tessell MCP Server?

• Conversational Power: Manage your cloud and databases using plain language—no scripts or CLI required
• Unified Control: Access all your Tessell services and databases from one place
• Instant Insights: Query, analyze, and troubleshoot in seconds
• Secure & Local: Your credentials stay safe—nothing leaves your environment unless you approve it

Installation & Configuration

Requirements

• Tessell account with an active API key
• Tenant API base URL and Tenant ID
• Compatible MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor)

Configuration

To set up the Tessell MCP Server, add the following configuration to your MCP client's configuration file (such as mcp_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tessell": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "tessell-mcp@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TESSELL_API_BASE": "{your-tenant-api-url}",
        "TESSELL_API_KEY": "{your-api-key}",
        "TESSELL_TENANT_ID": "{your-tenant-id}",
        "DATABASE_CONFIG_PATH": "/path/to/database-credentials.json"
      }
    }
  }
}

Database Connections

Tessell MCP Server automatically connects to your Tessell databases using the service API. You only need to provide database credentials in a secure JSON configuration file.

1. Create a database credentials file (e.g., database-credentials.json):

{
  "database_credentials": {
    "my_postgres_service": {
      "prod_db": {
        "username": "master",
        "password": "your_password_here"
      },
      "staging_db": {
        "username": "app_user",
        "password": "app_password"
      }
    },
    "analytics_service": {
      "reporting": {
        "username": "analyst",
        "password": "analyst_password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tessell MCP supports PostgreSQL and Oracle, with MySQL and SQL Server coming soon. Use the standard URI format for your database engine.

Be sure to replace the placeholders with your actual database information and keep your credentials secure.
