Spotdb MCP Server

If you already use Spotdb, the spotdb mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Ephemeral data sandbox for AI workflows with guardrails and security.

What the server does

This project provides a lightweight, ephemeral data sandbox designed for large language models (LLMs) and agentic workflows. By providing a secure, isolated environment, it allows AI agents and scripts to analyze data without direct access to production databases. This setup prevents accidental data modification, ensures data privacy, and enforces guardrails for safe data exploration.

• 🏖️ Ephemeral Data Sandbox: Create temporary databases for AI workflows and data exploration
• 📸 Snapshot: Capture and store data snapshots, recover point-in-time data states or continue from a previous state
• 🧠 MCP API: Access data through a Model Context Protocol for seamless integration with AI models and agentic workflows
• ⚙️ REST API: Access data through a RESTful API for integration with traditional systems and workflows
• 🚂 Guardrails: Enforce rules and constraints to ensure data safety and privacy
• 🛡️ Security: Protect data from unauthorized access and modification

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at mcp-remote on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

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 developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by ai.aliengiraffe; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
