Alibaba Cloud Hologres MCP Server

Stop context-switching between your AI assistant and database management tools. This MCP server gives AI agents direct, intelligent access to your Hologres databases—turning natural language requests into optimized SQL operations.

Your AI Assistant Meets Enterprise Data

You're already using AI to speed up development. But when you need database insights, you're still manually writing queries, checking schemas, and explaining table relationships. The Hologres MCP server eliminates that friction by letting AI agents operate directly on your Hologres instances.

Instead of: "Let me check the schema, write a query, optimize it, then explain the results..." You get: "Show me the revenue trends by region for Q4" → Complete analysis delivered.

Real Database Intelligence, Not Just Query Generation

This isn't another "AI writes SQL" tool. It's a comprehensive database interface that gives AI agents the same contextual awareness you have:

Full Database Introspection

• Schema discovery and table relationships
• Automatic metadata extraction
• Partition and foreign table awareness
• Statistics and performance insights

Production-Ready SQL Operations

• SELECT queries with serverless computing support
• DML operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
• DDL operations (CREATE, ALTER, DROP)
• Stored procedure execution
• MaxCompute foreign table creation

System Monitoring Integration

• Query execution plans and performance analysis
• Real-time activity monitoring
• Query history and failure analysis
• Missing statistics detection

Where This Changes Your Workflow

Data Analysis Sessions

You: "What's causing the performance issues in our user activity tables?"
AI: *Checks missing statistics, analyzes query patterns, examines table structure*
    "Three tables lack updated statistics, and I found 12 slow queries using inefficient joins..."

Database Migrations

You: "Help me understand the impact of changing this table structure"
AI: *Reviews dependencies, checks referencing tables, analyzes query patterns*
    "This table is referenced by 4 views and 2 foreign tables. Here's the migration plan..."

Performance Optimization

You: "Why is this query running slowly?"
AI: *Gets execution plan, checks statistics, reviews table structure*
    "The query is doing a full table scan. Adding an index on column X would reduce execution time by 80%..."

Enterprise-Grade Integration

Built by Alibaba Cloud for production environments. The server handles connection pooling, credential management, and error handling so your AI agents can focus on data insights rather than database administration.

Flexible Deployment

• Install via pip: pip install hologres-mcp-server
• Clone and run locally for development
• Both uv and uvx execution modes supported

Secure Configuration Environment-based credential management keeps your database access secure while enabling seamless AI integration.

Resource Templates Dynamic database exploration through templated resources—AI agents can discover and navigate your database structure contextually as needed.

Quick Start

1. Install the server:

   pip install hologres-mcp-server
   

2. Configure your MCP client:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "hologres-mcp-server": {
         "command": "uvx",
         "args": ["hologres-mcp-server"],
         "env": {
           "HOLOGRES_HOST": "your-host",
           "HOLOGRES_PORT": "80",
           "HOLOGRES_USER": "your-access-id",
           "HOLOGRES_PASSWORD": "your-access-key",
           "HOLOGRES_DATABASE": "your-database"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Start querying: Your AI assistant now has full access to your Hologres database with intelligent context about schemas, relationships, and performance characteristics.

The next time you need database insights, skip the manual query writing. Let your AI assistant handle the heavy lifting while you focus on the decisions that matter.
