### Description (declared)

# Spelunk

A **multi-source DuckDB query + transformation-pipeline MCP server.** Point it at files
(CSV/Parquet/JSON/Excel) and databases (SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL), and an agent like Claude Code
can query across all of them — and build step-by-step pipelines — through one DuckDB engine.

## Architecture in one line

A single DuckDB session is both the query engine and the workspace: every source is `ATTACH`ed
(databases) or scanned (files) into one connection, so one query can join a Parquet file to a
Postgres table to a result you built two steps ago — all in DuckDB SQL.

| Path | Role |
|---|---|
| `spelunk/core/duck.py` | `DuckSession` — the one DuckDB connection: query / profile / export / catalog / drop / lineage / replay + introspection. |
| `spelunk/core/sources.py` | Source registry — maps a spec to a DuckDB attach/scan. DuckDB-only: a source it can't attach (e.g. SQL Server) is rejected. |
| `spelunk/core/guard.py` | sqlglot AST safety: read-only enforcement (`assert_read_only`). |
| `spelunk/mcp/server.py` | Thin FastMCP wrapper over `DuckSession`. |
| `tests` | Acceptance tests. |

## Tools

```
query(sql, name, flow?)     # run a read-only SELECT over sources + results; store the full
                            #   result as table `name` for immediate reuse. The ONE tool for
                            #   looking and building — every result is named and chainable.
profile(sql, flow?)         # per-column stats (null_rate, min/max/mean/std, percentiles, top/freq)
export(target, fmt, path)   # write a saved result name OR a full SELECT to csv/json/parquet
catalog(flow?)              # list flows, or the results in one flow
drop(name?, flow?)          # drop one result, or a whole flow
lineage(name?, flow?)       # provenance DAG: the SQL + deps that built a result (or a whole flow)
replay(flow?, into?)        # rebuild a flow from its recorded SQL, in dependency order
```

Discovery resources: `db://tables` (queryable source objects) and `db://{table}` …
