Overview
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides database interaction and business intelligence capabilities through SQLite. This server enables running SQL queries, analyzing business data, and automatically generating business insight memos.
Installation
- Install Bun if you haven't already
- Clone this repository
- Install dependencies:
bun install - Run the setup script to configure the server in Claude Desktop:
bun run setup
The setup script will automatically add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop config file, located at:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Components
Resources
The server exposes a single dynamic resource:
memo://insights: A continuously updated business insights memo that aggregates discovered insights during analysis- Auto-updates as new insights are discovered via the append-insight tool
Prompts
The server provides a demonstration prompt:
mcp-demo: Interactive prompt that guides users through database operations- Required argument:
topic- The business domain to analyze - Generates appropriate database schemas and sample data
- Guides users through analysis and insight generation
- Integrates with the business insights memo
- Required argument:
Tools
The server offers six core tools:
Query Tools
-
read-query- Execute SELECT queries to read data from the database
- Input:
query(string): The SELECT SQL query to execute
- Returns: Query results as array of objects
-
write-query- Execute INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE queries
- Input:
query(string): The SQL modification query
- Returns:
{ affected_rows: number }
-
create-table- Create new tables in the database
- Input:
query(string): CREATE TABLE SQL statement
- Returns: Confirmation of table creation
Schema Tools
-
list-tables- Get a list of all tables in the database
- No input required
- Returns: Array of table names
-
describe-table- View schema information for a specific table
- Input:
table_name(string): Name of table to describe
- Returns: Array of column definitions with names and types
Analysis Tools
append-insight- Add new business insights to the memo resource
- Input:
insight(string): Business insight discovered from data analysis
- Returns: Confirmation of insight addition
- Triggers update of memo://insights resource

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
