arpeio-mcp

Unified MCP server for Arpe.io data tools — build, preview, and execute high-performance data commands through AI assistants.

Tool	Description
FastBCP	High-performance parallel database export to files and cloud
FastTransfer	High-performance parallel data transfer between databases
LakeXpress	Automated database-to-cloud data pipeline as Parquet
MigratorXpress	Cross-platform database migration with parallel transfer
Arpe ADBC drivers	ArpeMSSQL, ArpePGSQL, ArpeOracle, ArpeNetezza, ArpeTeradata: native ADBC drivers returning Apache Arrow (reference info, docs search, release notes)

No binaries required. All tools work in command builder mode out of the box — command building, preview, and informational tools work without any Arpe.io binary installed. To enable execution, download the binaries from arpe.io and set the corresponding *_PATH environment variables.

Connect your AI assistant

A hosted instance is available at https://arpe-io-arpeio-mcp.hf.space/sse — no installation required. For local installation with execution support, use the stdio transport via pip install arpeio-mcp.

Local Installation

For full execution support (not just command building), install locally:

pip install arpeio-mcp

Then configure your AI assistant to use the arpeio-mcp command (stdio transport) with optional binary paths — see the Claude Desktop local configuration for an example.

Available Tools (18)

Read-only advisory tools were consolidated into one *_info tool per product (with an action enum) and per-product release-notes tools were merged into a single arpe_release_notes. Auto-parallelism is now suggested inside preview so the typical workflow is 2 calls (preview → execute) instead of 4.

FastBCP (3 tools)

• fastbcp_info — Read-only advisory: action="formats" | "parallelism" | "workflow" | "version"
• fastbcp_preview_export — Validate parameters and render the command (auto-suggests parallelism when method is omitted)
• fastbcp_execute_export — Run the export

FastTransfer (3 tools)

• fasttransfer_info — Read-only advisory: action="combinations" | "parallelism" | "workflow" | "version"
• fasttransfer_preview_transfer — Validate parameters and render the command (auto-suggests parallelism)
• fasttransfer_execute_transfer — Run the transfer

LakeXpress (3 tools)

• lakexpress_info — Read-only advisory: action="capabilities" | "workflow" | "version"
• lakexpress_preview_command — Build any LakeXpress command (lxdb_*, config_*, sync, sync[export], sync[publish], run, status, cleanup). On v0.4.0+ binaries, warns when -a / --lxdb_auth_id / --sync_id are missing on sync-family calls
• lakexpress_execute_command — Run the command

MigratorXpress (4 tools)

• migratorxpress_info — Read-only advisory: action="capabilities" | "workflow" | "version"
• migratorxpress_validate_auth_file — Validate the JSON auth file (only file-I/O advisory tool kept separate)
• migratorxpress_preview_command — Build the migrate command. Accepts the new project tag (v0.6.30+); warns on migration_db_type="postgres" against pre-0.6.32 binaries
• migratorxpress_execute_command — Run the migration

Arpe ADBC drivers (1 tool)

• adbc_info — The driver family with current versions (ArpeMSSQL 0.7.6, ArpePGSQL 0.4.7, ArpeOracle 0.4.2, ArpeNetezza 0.3.7, ArpeTeradata 0.3.5), or one driver's load name, connection URI, authentication, install command, licence setup and FastBCP adbc_* connection type. The drivers are libraries, so there is no preview/execute step

Meta (4 tools)

• arpe_get_status — Status of all four CLIs (installed / command-builder-only)
• arpe_quick_start — Detect the right tool from a plain-English use case and return a workflow guide
• arpe_release_notes — Return release-notes chunks for any product (product="fastbcp" | "fasttransfer" | "lakexpress" | "migratorxpress", or an ADBC driver load name "arpemssql" | "arpepgsql" | "arpeoracle" | "arpenz" | "arpeteradata"; optional version). MigratorXpress publishes no release-notes pages: its "What's new in 0.7" summary from migratorxpress-docs.arpe.io is returned instead
• search_docs — BM25 full-text search over arpe.io docs sites (including migratorxpress-docs.arpe.io and adbc-drivers-docs.arpe.io) and blog

Structured output

The command-building, execution, and discovery tools return structured content (outputSchema + structuredContent) alongside the human-readable markdown, so MCP clients can chain calls programmatically instead of parsing prose:

• *_preview_* → the built command (argv), command_string, masked command_display, explanation, and version warnings. The exact command can be handed straight to the matching *_execute_* tool.
• *_execute_* → success, return_code, stdout, stderr, and parsed diagnostics.
• search_docs → ranked results records; arpe_get_status → per-product status; arpe_release_notes → release-notes chunks.

Each payload carries a status field (ok / error) so success and error responses are both machine-checkable.

Prompts (5)

Conversation starters surfaced by clients that support MCP prompts (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.): export-table, transfer-data, lakehouse-pipeline, migrate-database, troubleshoot.

Resources (5)

Static capability matrices served as MCP resources so clients can prefetch them without a tool call: arpeio://capabilities/fastbcp-formats, fasttransfer-combinations, lakexpress-capabilities, migratorxpress-capabilities, adbc-drivers.

Evaluations

evaluations/arpeio_eval.xml holds 10 read-only, verifiable questions used to check that an LLM can drive the server to correct answers (tool selection, parallelism recommendations, capability lookups, version gating). A guard test re-derives every answer from the capability registries so the answer key stays honest:

python -m pytest tests/test_evaluations.py -q
