Xano MCP Server

Integrates Xano databases with Smithery to enable Claude AI interactions with Xano data. The xano mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 1 defined tool rather than through you.

What it actually does

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating Xano databases with Smithery, enabling Claude AI to interact with Xano databases.

This MCP server provides a bridge between Claude AI (via Smithery) and Xano databases, allowing Claude to perform operations on Xano data through a standardized interface. The server implements the Model Context Protocol, making it compatible with Smithery's serverless deployment model.

• Complete Xano API integration
• Support for both stdio and WebSocket transport methods
• Comprehensive database operations (tables, schemas, records)
• File management capabilities
• Request history tracking
• Import/export functionality

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server

Configuration

You will need 3 environment variables: YOUR_XANO_API_TOKEN, XANO_API_TOKEN, YOUR_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

• Python 3.10 or higher - Smithery CLI (for deployment) - Xano API token

Caveats

• 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.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the xano mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

This sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Xano's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by roboulos; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
