What is the ArangoDB MCP server?

If you already use ArangoDB, the arangodb mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. # ArangoDB MCP Server This is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol for ArangoDB. ## Overview To be filled. ## Components ### Resources ### Tools #### Query Tools - readQuery - Execute read-only query on the database - Input: -.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • readQuery — Execute read-only query on the database
  • Input — - databaseName (string): The database to query
  • Returns — Query results as array of objects
  • readWriteQuery — Execute query on the database
  • listDatabases — List all the databases on the ArangoDB server
  • listCollections — List all the collections in an ArangoDB database
  • Resources — The Resources tool exposed by this server
  • Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this server

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Where it fits

This sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. ArangoDB's toolset — readQuery, Input, Returns and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by lucas-deangelis; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against ArangoDB's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
