What is MCP Server ODBC via SQLAlchemy?

This is a lightweight server built on FastAPI that connects to various database management systems (DBMS) via ODBC and SQLAlchemy. It implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, allowing client programs to query and operate on databases through a unified interface.

How to use MCP Server?

After installation, configure the ODBC data source, set environment variables, and then start the server to access database functions through the API. It can be integrated with clients such as Claude Desktop.

Applicable scenarios

Suitable for scenarios that require a unified interface to access multiple databases, especially when integrating database query capabilities into AI assistants or automated workflows.

Main features

Get schema listList the names of all schemas in the database
Get table informationQuery table information in a specific schema or all schemas
Describe table structureGet detailed structure information of the table, including column names, data types, primary and foreign keys, etc.
Search tablesFilter and retrieve tables based on name substrings
Execute queriesSupport executing SQL queries and returning results in JSONL or Markdown format
Virtuoso-specific featuresSupport executing SPARQL/SPASQL queries and invoking Virtuoso's specific AI assistant functions

Advantages and limitations

Advantages
Lightweight and easy to deploy
Support multiple database backends
Provide a unified API interface
Support multiple result formats (JSONL/Markdown)
Deep integration with Virtuoso DBMS
Limitations
Requires pre - configuration of ODBC data sources
Some advanced features are only applicable to Virtuoso
Requires Python environment support

How to use

Install dependencies
Ensure that the uv and unixODBC runtime environments are installed
Configure ODBC data source
Edit the ~/.odbc.ini file to configure the database connection
Set environment variables
Create a.env file to configure connection parameters
Start the server
