FAQ from Multi-Database MCP Server (by Legion AI)

Which databases are supported?

PostgreSQL (pg), Redshift, CockroachDB, MySQL, RDS MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, BigQuery, Oracle DB, and SQLite. See the README for the full list of DB_TYPE codes.

How do I configure multiple databases at once?

Set the DB_CONFIGS environment variable to a JSON array, each element containing db_type, configuration, and an optional id and description. The system generates a unique ID if none is provided.

How do I specify which database to use when executing a query?

All database-specific tools (e.g., execute_query, get_table_columns) require a db_id parameter. Use the list_databases tool to see available IDs, then pass the desired db_id.

What tools does the server expose to AI assistants?

Tools include execute_query, execute_query_json, get_table_columns, get_table_types, get_query_history, list_databases, get_database_info, find_table, describe_table, and get_table_sample.

How do I run the server in production?

Run python mcp_server.py with the appropriate environment variables or command-line arguments set. Alternatively, use uv run src/database_mcp/mcp_server.py with your configuration.
