Overview

What is Tiger Data MCP Server?

Tiger Data MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes database service management and SQL execution tools to AI assistants, integrating with Tiger Cloud (from Timescale). It automatically uses CLI authentication so no additional setup is required after login. It also proxies tools from a remote documentation MCP server for semantic search of PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, and Tiger Cloud docs.

How to use Tiger Data MCP Server?

After installing the Tiger CLI (curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh) and authenticating (tiger auth login), run tiger mcp install to install the server with your preferred coding tool. All tools are then available through the MCP interface.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install Tiger Data MCP Server?

Install the Tiger CLI first (`curl -fsSL https://cli.tigerdata.com | sh`), authenticate with `tiger auth login`, then run `tiger mcp install`.

Does the server require separate authentication?

No. The MCP server automatically uses your CLI authentication from `tiger auth login`.

Can I disable the built‑in documentation proxy?

Yes. Run `tiger config set docs_mcp false` to disable the remote documentation server proxy.

What runtime dependencies does it have?

The only dependency is the Tiger CLI, which you install before using the MCP server.

Where does the data live?

Database services are hosted in Tiger Cloud; the MCP server manages them remotely. All documentation searches are performed on remote documentation repositories.
