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 |

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.
