What is the Focus MCP Sql MCP server?

If you already use Focus MCP Sql, the focus mcp sql mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables artificial intelligence assistants to convert natural language into SQL statements.

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.

Credentials and setup notes

  • jdk 23 or higher. Download jdk - gradle 8.12 or higher. Download gradle - register Datafocus to obtain bearer token: 1. Register an account in Datafocus 2. Create an application 3. Enter the application 4. Admin -> Interface authentication -> Bearer

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.

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. It is maintained by FocusSearch; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
