MCP server exposing a [SQLMesh](https://github.com/SQLMesh/sqlmesh) project to LLM agents: model metadata, bounded data previews, plan previews, column-level lineage, audits/tests, environment diffs, resources, and reusable prompts.

Not officially affiliated with SQLMesh or Tobiko Data.

## Why

SQLMesh's standout feature is column-level lineage, which is exactly the kind of question an agent is good at answering interactively ("where does `revenue` in `finance.daily_summary` come from?") that a CLI isn't. As of writing, the only prior MCP server for SQLMesh ([`sherman94062/sqlmesh-mcp`](https://github.com/sherman94062/sqlmesh-mcp)) is a small unmaintained side project — this one aims to be documented, tested, and kept current with SQLMesh's API.

## Install

```bash
pip install sqlmesh-mcp
```

## Usage

Point it at a SQLMesh project directory:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sqlmesh": {
      "command": "sqlmesh-mcp",
      "env": { "SQLMESH_PROJECT_PATH": "/path/to/your/sqlmesh/project" }
    }
  }
}
```

## Example

Calling `list_models` against [`examples/demo_project`](examples/demo_project) (a stock `sqlmesh init duckdb` project) returns:

```json
[
  {
    "name": "sqlmesh_example.full_model",
    "kind": "FULL",
    "description": null,
    "owner": null,
    "tags": [],
    "columns": { "item_id": "INT", "num_orders": "BIGINT" }
  },
  {
    "name": "sqlmesh_example.incremental_model",
    "kind": "INCREMENTAL_BY_TIME_RANGE",
    "description": null,
    "owner": null,
    "tags": [],
    "columns": …
