This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants like Claude to interact with real databases using natural language.

📊 MCP Database Query Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to query real databases (SQLite/PostgreSQL) using natural language.
🚀 Overview
This project acts as a bridge between AI models and databases, allowing users to retrieve data without writing SQL manually.
Instead of writing queries, users can ask:
"Show me all customers who spent over $1000"
The MCP server processes this request, converts it into SQL, executes it, and returns structured results.
🧠 How It Works
- AI sends a structured request to the MCP server
- MCP interprets the request
- Converts it into an SQL query
- Executes the query on the database
- Returns results in JSON format
🔁 Example Flow
Input (AI Request)
Show me all customers who spent over $1000
Generated SQL
SELECT * FROM customers WHERE total_spent > 1000;
Output (Response)
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "John Doe",
"total_spent": 1500
}
]
