How do I install the pretensor mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What is the Pretensor MCP Server?

Combine extras with comma separation, e.g. pip install 'pretensor[postgres,clustering]'.

Credentials and setup notes

Python 3.11 or 3.12 (3.13 not yet tested). - A reachable database for pretensor index. Every database driver ships as an extra — PostgreSQL via pretensor[postgres], Snowflake via pretensor[snowflake], BigQuery via pretensor[bigquery].

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

Tool	What it does
list_databases	List indexed database connections with table counts and staleness.
schema	Inspect node labels, edge types, and available properties before writing Cypher.
query	BM25 keyword search over table and entity metadata. Hybrid BM25 + cosine RRF rerank when [embeddings] is installed and tables carry vectors.
semantic_search	Cosine ranking over indexed SchemaTable embeddings. Requires pretensor[embeddings]; returns a structured BM25-fallback envelope when the extra is absent or no tables have been embedded.
cypher	Read-only Kuzu Cypher for one indexed database; mutating clauses are rejected.
context	Full context for one physical table, including columns, joins, lineage, and cluster metadata. Optional include_similar arg surfaces cross-cluster nearest neighbors when embeddings are present.
traverse	Join paths between two physical tables. When ambiguous and tables carry embeddings, ranks tied paths by embedding similarity.
impact	Downstream tables reachable from a table via FK and inferred-join edges.
detect_changes	Compare the live database schema to the last indexed snapshot without mutating the graph.
compile_metric	Compile semantic-layer YAML into validated SQL for one indexed database. The error string includes a "did you mean: …" suggestion list when an unresolved metric, table, or column name has close matches.
validate_sql	Validate SQL against the indexed graph before execution.
