Common questions
Is Migratorxpress MCP safe?
It passed 2 of 3 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?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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 8 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.6) reached the registry 8 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

MigratorXpress MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MigratorXpress, enabling database migration between heterogeneous database systems through AI assistants.
MigratorXpress supports migrating from Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Netezza to PostgreSQL or SQL Server targets.
Installation
pip install -e .
Or install dependencies directly:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configuration
Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
MIGRATORXPRESS_PATH | ./MigratorXpress | Path to MigratorXpress binary |
MIGRATORXPRESS_TIMEOUT | 3600 | Command execution timeout in seconds |
MIGRATORXPRESS_LOG_DIR | ./logs | Directory for execution logs |
LOG_LEVEL | INFO | Server logging level |
Copy .env.example to .env and adjust values:
cp .env.example .env
Claude Code Configuration
Add to your Claude Code MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": { "migratorxpress": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "src.server"], "cwd": "/path/to/migratorxpress-mcp", "env": { "MIGRATORXPRESS_PATH": "/path/to/MigratorXpress" } } } }
Tools
1. preview_command
Build and preview a MigratorXpress CLI command without executing it. License text is automatically masked in the display output.
Required parameters: auth_file, source_db_auth_id, source_db_name, target_db_auth_id, target_db_name, migration_db_auth_id
2. execute_command
Execute a previously previewed command. Requires confirmation: true as a safety mechanism.
3. validate_auth_file
Validate that an authentication file exists, is valid JSON, and optionally check for specific auth_id entries.
4. list_capabilities
List supported source/target databases, tasks, migration DB modes, load modes, and FK modes.
5. suggest_workflow
Given a source database type, target database type, and optional constraint flag, suggest the full sequence of migration tasks with example commands.
6. get_version
Report MigratorXpress version and capabilities.
Workflow Example
A typical migration from Oracle to PostgreSQL:
Step 1: translate — Translate Oracle DDL to PostgreSQL-compatible DDL
Step 2: create — Create target tables from translated DDL Step 3: transfer — Transfer data from source to target Step 4: diff — Verify row counts match between source and target Step 5: copy_pk — Copy primary key constraints copy_ak — Copy alternate key (unique) constraints copy_fk — Copy foreign key constraints
Or run all steps in a single invocation with --task_list all.
