Apache IoTDB MCP Server
Apache IoTDB MCP Server. That is what the iotdb mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides database interaction and business intelligence capabilities through IoTDB. This server enables running SQL queries and interacting with IoTDB using different SQL dialects (Tree Model and Table Model).
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
Resources — The Resources tool exposed by this serverPrompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverTools — The server offers different tools for IoTDB Tree Model and Table Model. You can choose between them by setting the "IOTDB_SQL_DIALECT" configurationmacOS — Location: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows — The Windows tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: IOTDB_HOST, IOTDB_PORT, IOTDB_USER, IOTDB_PASSWORD, IOTDB_DATABASE, IOTDB_SQL_DIALECT, IOTDB_EXPORT_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
uv package manager - IoTDB installation - MCP server dependenciesSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. IoTDB's toolset — Resources, Prompts, Tools and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by apache; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
