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": {
    "sqlservermcp": {
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [
        "SqlServerMcp",
        "--yes"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ConnectionStrings__MyDb": "your-value",
        "Query__DefaultTop": "your-value",
        "Query__MaxTop": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add sqlservermcp --env ConnectionStrings__MyDb=your-value --env Query__DefaultTop=your-value --env Query__MaxTop=your-value -- dnx SqlServerMcp --yes

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": {
    "sqlservermcp": {
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [
        "SqlServerMcp",
        "--yes"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ConnectionStrings__MyDb": "your-value",
        "Query__DefaultTop": "your-value",
        "Query__MaxTop": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "sqlservermcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": [
        "SqlServerMcp",
        "--yes"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ConnectionStrings__MyDb": "your-value",
        "Query__DefaultTop": "your-value",
        "Query__MaxTop": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

Common questions

Is SqlServerMcp 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?

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 –, and the latest version (1.0.6) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

SqlServerMcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SQL Server. Exposes schema inspection, safe read-only queries, and query plan analysis as MCP tools.

How it works: This server does not accept natural-language questions. Instead, the connected AI tool (the MCP client) decides and generates the SQL query based on the user's intent and the schema it inspects via the tools below. The server only executes the SQL the AI produces, under the safety rules described in Safety.

Install

dotnet tool install -g SqlServerMcp

Configure

Configuration is done entirely through environment variables in your MCP client config. No need to edit any files — just add your connection strings and query settings directly in the env block.

Add the following to your MCP client configuration (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

"mcpServers": { "sqlserver": { "command": "sqlservermcp", "env": { "ConnectionStrings__MyDb": "Server=localhost;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=True;", "QueryDefaultTop": "1000", "QueryMaxTop": "500000" } } } }

Environment Variable Format

Variable	Description
`ConnectionStrings__`	SQL Server connection string. Add multiple with different names.
`Query__DefaultTop`	Default row limit for queries (default: `1000`)
`Query__MaxTop`	Maximum allowed row limit (default: `500000`)

Note: Use double underscores (__) as the separator — this is the .NET configuration convention for environment variables.

Multiple Databases

You can configure multiple databases by adding multiple connection string variables:

"env": { "ConnectionStringsProduction": "Server=prod-server;Database=ProdDb;...", "ConnectionStringsStaging": "Server=staging-server;Database=StagingDb;..." } }

Then use the ListDatabases tool to see available names, and pass the database name to any query tool.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`ListDatabases`	List available database names configured in this server
`ListTables`	List all user tables in a database
`DescribeTable`	Describe columns of a specific table (schema.table format)
`GetDatabaseSchema`	Return full database schema: tables, columns, PKs, FKs
`SearchSchema`	Search tables and columns by keyword
`RunQuery`	Execute a safe read-only SELECT query with auto row-limiting
`ExplainQuery`	Explain a SELECT query using estimated execution plan

Example

Prompt:

*"Using the MyDb database, show me the top 5 customers by total order amount in 2025."*

The AI generates and executes the query by calling SearchSchema / DescribeTable to discover the tables, then passing this SQL to RunQuery:

SELECT TOP 5 c.CustomerId, c.Name, SUM(o.TotalAmount) AS TotalSpent

FROM dbo.Customers c JOIN dbo.Orders o ON o.CustomerId = c.CustomerId WHERE YEAR(o.OrderDate) = 2025 GROUP BY c.CustomerId, c.Name ORDER BY TotalSpent DESC;

Expected output:

CustomerId	Name	TotalSpent
1042	Acme Corp	184500.00
778	Globex Ltd	162300.50
2310	Initech	149875.25
915	Soylent Inc	138420.00
604	Umbrella Co	121990.75

Disclaimer: The accuracy of the generated SQL and the final output depends on the AI model you select in your MCP client. More capable models produce more reliable queries; weaker models may misinterpret the schema or the intent of the prompt.

Safety

Only SELECT queries are allowed — all write operations are blocked
Queries are automatically row-limited to prevent runaway results
Connection strings are configured server-side, never exposed to the AI client
