text2sql-mcp

text2sql-mcp

Enables natural language querying of SQL databases by allowing the agent to explore schema, write SQL, and self-correct errors. It integrates with MCP-compatible assistants like Claude Desktop or Cursor.

README

text2sql-mcp

MCP server for text2sql-framework. Plugs into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Goose, or any other MCP-compatible assistant and lets it ask a SQL database questions in natural language.

The agent explores the schema, writes SQL, executes it against the real DB, and self-corrects on errors — no RAG layer, no schema descriptions, no pre-computed embeddings.

Install

pip install text2sql-mcp
# or
uvx text2sql-mcp

Configure

Set environment variables in your MCP client config:

Variable Required Description
TEXT2SQL_DATABASE_URL yes SQLAlchemy URL, e.g. sqlite:///mydb.db, postgresql://user:pass@host/db
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY yes LLM provider key
TEXT2SQL_MODEL no LangChain model id (default: anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-6)
TEXT2SQL_INSTRUCTIONS no Business rules / hints, e.g. "Revenue = net of refunds."
TEXT2SQL_EXAMPLES no Path to a scenarios.md file for the agent's lookup_example tool

Goose CLI

goose configure
# Add Extension → Command-line Extension
# Name: text2sql
# Command: uvx text2sql-mcp
# Env: TEXT2SQL_DATABASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Tools

  • query(question, max_rows=100) — ask the database a natural-language question. Returns {sql, data, error, row_count, tool_calls_made}.

How it works

Under the hood this is a thin wrapper around text2sql-framework, which uses LangChain Deep Agents to do iterative tool-calling against a single execute_sql tool. See the framework README for benchmarks (19/20 on Spider zero-shot across 80 tables) and architecture details.
