What is the Kuzu MCP server?

Kuzu MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Kuzu MCP server implementation.

What you get

A Model Context Protocol server that provides access to Kuzu databases. This server enables LLMs to inspect database schemas and execute queries on provided kuzu database.

What the assistant can call

Once Kuzu is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • getSchema — Fetch the full schema of the Kuzu database, including all nodes and relationships tables and their properties
  • Input — None
  • query — Run a Cypher query on the Kuzu database
  • Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this server
  • Prompt — The Prompt tool exposed by this server

Setting it up

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.

Choosing this one

Among the database access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Kuzu's toolset — getSchema, Input, query and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by kuzudb; 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.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the kuzu mcp server does with a few real requests.

How to install the Kuzu MCP server

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "kuzu": {
            "command": "docker",
            "args": [
                "run",

                "{Path to the directory containing Kuzu database file}:/database",
                "-e",
                "KUZU_DB_FILE={Kuzu database file name}",
                "--rm",
                "-i",
                "kuzudb/mcp-server"
            ]
        }
    }
  }

Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.

Example prompts to try

  • Use Kuzu to getSchema.
  • Use Kuzu to Input.
  • Use Kuzu to query.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Kuzu to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (getSchema, Input, query, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Kuzu directly.
