Talk to Your YDB Database with Natural Language

Stop context-switching between your AI assistant and database client. The YDB MCP server lets any MCP-enabled LLM directly query, explore, and analyze your YDB databases through natural language prompts.

Skip the YDB Syntax Lookup

You know the drill: you need to check something in your YDB database, but you can't remember the exact syntax for a query or directory listing. Instead of alt-tabbing to documentation or firing up a separate client, just ask your AI assistant:

• "Show me all tables in the /analytics directory"
• "What's the schema of the user_events table?"
• "Find all orders from the last 7 days where amount > 1000"
• "Check the connection status and list what's in the root directory"

Your LLM handles the YDB-specific commands and returns the results directly in your conversation.

Five Tools, Zero Friction

The server provides exactly what you need for database exploration and analysis:

• ydb_query: Execute any SQL against your database
• ydb_query_with_params: Run parameterized queries safely with JSON parameters
• ydb_list_directory: Browse your database structure like a filesystem
• ydb_describe_path: Get detailed schema information for tables and directories
• ydb_status: Quick connection health checks

Each tool works through natural language - no need to remember command syntax or parameter formats.

Real Workflow Integration

Data Analysis Sessions: Instead of writing exploratory SQL queries by hand, describe what you're looking for. Your AI assistant writes and executes the queries, then helps interpret the results and suggests follow-up analysis.

Database Troubleshooting: When investigating issues, ask your assistant to check table schemas, recent data patterns, or connection status. It can execute multiple queries and correlate the results to help diagnose problems.

Schema Exploration: Working with an unfamiliar YDB database? Have your AI assistant map out the directory structure, describe table schemas, and identify relationships between tables through natural conversation.

Development Support: During development, quickly validate data changes, check constraint violations, or explore test data without leaving your coding environment.

Installation That Just Works

Three ways to get started, all requiring minimal setup:

Fastest with uvx (no installation needed):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ydb": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "ydb-mcp",
        "--ydb-endpoint", "grpc://localhost:2136/local"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Via pipx for isolated installs:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ydb": {
      "command": "pipx",
      "args": [
        "run", "ydb-mcp",
        "--ydb-endpoint", "grpc://localhost:2136/local"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Traditional pip install for existing environments:

pip install ydb-mcp

Authentication options include anonymous access for development and login/password for production environments.

Built by the YDB Team

This isn't a community hack - it's an official MCP server from the YDB platform team. That means it follows YDB best practices, stays current with YDB features, and integrates cleanly with your existing YDB infrastructure.

The server handles connection management, authentication, and error handling so your AI assistant can focus on understanding your requests and providing useful analysis rather than dealing with database connection details.

Perfect for developers already using YDB who want to add AI-powered database interactions to their workflow without changing their existing setup or learning new tools.
