Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotdb": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add spotdb -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotdb": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "spotdb": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

X-API-Key secret env
Optional API key for request authentication

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Spotdb safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: X-API-Key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 13 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

SpotDB

Lightweight data sandbox for AI workflows and data exploration, enabled with guardrails and security to keep your data safe.

This project provides a lightweight, ephemeral data sandbox designed for large language models (LLMs) and agentic workflows. By providing a secure, isolated environment, it allows AI agents and scripts to analyze data without direct access to production databases. This setup prevents accidental data modification, ensures data privacy, and enforces guardrails for safe data exploration.

Features

🏖️ Ephemeral Data Sandbox: Create temporary databases for AI workflows and data exploration.
📸 Snapshot: Capture and store data snapshots, recover point-in-time data states or continue from a previous state.
🧠 MCP API: Access data through a Model Context Protocol for seamless integration with AI models and agentic workflows.
⚙️ REST API: Access data through a RESTful API for integration with traditional systems and workflows.
🚂 Guardrails: Enforce rules and constraints to ensure data safety and privacy.
🛡️ Security: Protect data from unauthorized access and modification.

Quick Start

Tap the repository and install the package:

brew tap aliengiraffe/spaceship && \\

brew install spotdb

Start the server:

spotdb

Upload a CSV file:

curl -X POST \

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/upload \ -F "table_name=mytable" \ -F "has_header=true" \ -F "csv_file=@data.csv"

Query the data:

curl -X POST \

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/query \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"query": "SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT 10"}'

Setup Claude Code You must have the claude command installed.

Then, you can add the spotdb mcp:

claude mcp add spotdb -s user -- npx -y mcp-remote http://localhost:8081/stream

Use Explorer UI

Open the Explorer UI in your browser and upload files and query the data:

open http://localhost:8080/explorer
