### Description (declared)

# SQL Assistant MCP Server

Connects Claude to a Microsoft SQL Server database over stdio. Ask Claude to query your database, inspect table structures, or preview execution plans — without leaving the chat.

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install sql-mcp-server
```

You also need the **ODBC Driver for SQL Server**:  
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/download-odbc-driver-for-sql-server

---

## Tools

**list_tables** : Lists all user-created tables, grouped by schema.

**describe_table** : Shows columns, data types, nullability, and defaults for a table.

**run_query** : Runs a SELECT query and returns results. Write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc.) are blocked.

**explain_query** : Returns SQL Server's estimated execution plan via `SET SHOWPLAN_TEXT`. Good to run before a slow or unfamiliar query.

**get_table_sample** : Returns the first N rows from a table (max 20, default 5). Pass `rows=10` for more.

## Setup

### 1. Configure the database connection

Create a `.env` file in the project root:

**Windows Authentication:**
```env
DB_DRIVER=ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
DB_SERVER=YOUR_SERVER_NAME\SQLEXPRESS
DB_NAME=your_database_name
```

**SQL Server Authentication:**
```env
DB_DRIVER=ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server
DB_SERVER=YOUR_SERVER_NAME\SQLEXPRESS
DB_NAME=your_database_name
DB_USER=your_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
```

If you're using the Claude Desktop config below, put credentials in the `env` block — no `.env` file needed.

---

### 2. Register with Claude Desktop

Add this to `claude_desktop_config.json` — usually at `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_…
