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 list
List the names of all schemas in the database
Get table information
Query table information in a specific schema or all schemas
Describe table structure
Get detailed structure information of the table, including column names, data types, primary and foreign keys, etc.
Search tables
Filter and retrieve tables based on name substrings
Execute queries
