### Description (declared)

# MCP Database Server

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server implementation in Python that provides **strictly read-only** access to databases. It allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to inspect schemas and query data safely without risking data modification.

## Features

- **🛡️ Strict Read-Only**: Enforced at the driver level (e.g., SQLite `?mode=ro`) or session level (MySQL `SET SESSION TRANSACTION READ ONLY`).
- **🏗️ Repository Pattern**: Abstracted database access allows for easy extension to other backends (PostgreSQL, MySQL) via Dependency Injection.
- **⚡ FastMCP**: Built efficiently using the official MCP Python SDK.
- **🔌 Connection Pooling**: Automatic connection pooling for MySQL using `DBUtils` to ensure performance and reliability.
- **🔧 Easy Configuration**: Managed via environment variables and Makefiles.

## Project Structure

- `mcp_db_server/`: Main Python package for the MCP server.
  - `__init__.py`: Entry point and server initialization.
  - `db/`: Repository implementations (`sqlite_repository.py`, `mysql_repository.py`).
- `seed.py`: Utility script to populate the database (write access).
- `Makefile`: Automation for common tasks.
- `pyproject.toml`: Package configuration and dependencies.

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+ (managed via `venv`)
- `make` (optional, but recommended)
- MySQL Server (optional, if using MySQL backend)

### 1. Setup
Use the Makefile to create a virtual environment, install dependencies, and seed a test database:

```bash
make setup
```

*This runs `pip install -r requirements.txt` and `python seed.py`.*

### 2. Configuration
The project uses `python-dotenv`. Copy the example config and adjust as needed:

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

**Key Variables:**
- `DB_ENGINE`: `sqlite` (Default) or `mysql`
- `DB_ADDRESS`: Path to db file (SQLite) or Host URL (MySQL).
- `DB_PORT`: Database port (Default: 3306 for MySQL).
- `DB_USER` / `DB_PASSWORD`: Database credentia…
