### Description (declared)

# Rasdaman MCP Server

This tool enables users to interact with rasdaman in a natural language context.
By exposing rasdaman functionality as tools via the MCP protocol, an LLM can query the database to answer questions like:

- "What datacubes are available?"
- "What are the dimensions of the 'Sentinel2_10m' coverage?"
- "Create an NDVI image for June 12, 2025."

The MCP server translates these tool calls into actual WCS/WCPS queries that rasdaman can understand and then returns the results to the LLM.

## Installation

```bash
pip install rasdaman-mcp
```

## Usage

First the connection from the MCP server to rasdaman needs to be configured, either through environment variables:

 - `RASDAMAN_URL`: URL for the rasdaman server
 - `RASDAMAN_USERNAME`: Username for authentication
 - `RASDAMAN_PASSWORD`: Password for authentication

or command-line arguments to the `rasdaman-mcp` tool:

 - `--rasdaman-url`: URL for the rasdaman server (default `RASDAMAN_URL` env variable or `http://localhost:8080/rasdaman/ows`).
 - `--username`: Username for authentication (default `RASDAMAN_USERNAME` env variable or `rasguest`).
 - `--password`: Sets the password for authentication (default `RASDAMAN_PASSWORD` env variable or `rasguest`).

Then the MCP is ready to be used with an AI agent tool, in one of two modes: `stdio` (default) or `http`.

### `stdio` Mode
Used for direct integration with clients that take over managing the server process and communicate with it through standard input/output.
Generally in your AI tool you need to specify the command to run `rasdaman-mcp`:

    rasdaman-mcp --username rasguest --password rasguest --rasdaman-url "..."

Example for enabling it in gemini-cli:

    gemini mcp add rasdaman-mcp "rasdaman-mcp --username rasguest --password rasguest"

Benefits:
- Simplicity: No need to manage a separate server process or ports.
- Seamless Integration: Tools are transparently made available to the LLM within the client environment.
