MCP server for ingesting **CSV / TSV / Parquet / Excel / JSON / JSONL** files into any SQLAlchemy-supported database (Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL, ...). Plug into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or Continue and let the LLM load tabular data on demand.

## Install

```bash
uvx csv-ingest-mcp        # one-shot, no global install
# or
pip install csv-ingest-mcp
```

## Quick start (Claude Desktop)

`~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Linux) / `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "csv-ingest": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["csv-ingest-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CSV_MCP_ALLOWED_DIRS": "/home/you/data",
        "CSV_MCP_DB_URL": "postgresql://user:pass@localhost/mydb"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop. The model now has six tools.
