First, ensure you have the `uv` executable installed. If not, you can install it by following the instructions [here](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/).
MCP Timeplus becomes available to MCP clients through the mcp timeplus mcp server. First, ensure you have the uv executable installed. If not, you can install it by following the instructions here.

Once connected, the assistant can call these 10 tools directly:
run_sql — Execute SQL queries on your Timeplus clusterInput — sql (string): The SQL query to executelist_databases — List all databases on your Timeplus clusterlist_tables — List all tables in a databaselist_kafka_topics — List all topics in a Kafka clusterexplore_kafka_topic — Show some messages in the Kafka topiccreate_kafka_stream — Setup a streaming ETL in Timeplus to save the Kafka messages locallyconnect_to_apache_iceberg — Connect to a database based on Apache Iceberg. Currently this is only available via Timeplus Enterprise and it's planned to make it available for TimeplusPrompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
The server reads 8 environment variables: TIMEPLUS_HOST, TIMEPLUS_PORT, TIMEPLUS_USER, TIMEPLUS_PASSWORD, TIMEPLUS_SECURE, TIMEPLUS_VERIFY, TIMEPLUS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, TIMEPLUS_SEND_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Database servers turn schema archaeology and ad-hoc reporting into conversation, which is why they tend to be the second or third server people install. MCP Timeplus sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — run_sql, Input, list_databases among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other databases servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| run_sql | Execute SQL queries on your Timeplus cluster. |
| Input | sql (string): The SQL query to execute. |
| list_databases | List all databases on your Timeplus cluster. |
| list_tables | List all tables in a database. |
| list_kafka_topics | List all topics in a Kafka cluster |
| explore_kafka_topic | Show some messages in the Kafka topic |
| create_kafka_stream | Setup a streaming ETL in Timeplus to save the Kafka messages locally |
| connect_to_apache_iceberg | Connect to a database based on Apache Iceberg. Currently this is only available via Timeplus Enterprise and it's planned to make it available for Timeplus Proton soon. |
| Prompts | The Prompts tool exposed by this server. |
| Tools | The Tools tool exposed by this server. |
