Cursor

See the official Cursor docs for more information.

2. Add the following details and save the file:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mssql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-node-mssql"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DB_HOST": "localhost",
        "DB_PORT": "1433",
        "DB_USERNAME": "",
        "DB_PASSWORD": "",
        "DB_DATABASE": "",
        "CONNECTION_TIMEOUT": 600000,
        "REQUEST_TIMEOUT": 300000
        "DB_ENCRYPT": "false",
        "DB_ENABLE_ARITH_ABORT": "false",
        "DB_TRUST_SERVER_CERTIFICATE": "false",
        "TRUSTED_CONNECTION": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

See the official Windsurf docs for more information.

1. Open the `Windsurf MCP Configuration Panel`

2. Click `Add custom server`.

3. Add the following details and save the file:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mssql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-node-mssql"

Claude Code

See the official Claude Code docs for more information.

_You can add a new MCP server from the Claude Code CLI. But modifying the json file directly is simpler!_

1. Open the Claude Code configuration file (it should be in `~/.claude.json`).

2. Find the `projects` > `mcpServers` section and add the following details and save the file:

json
{
  "projects": {
    "mcpServers": {
      "mssql": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "mcp-node-mssql"
        ],
        "env": {
          "DB_HOST": "localhost",
          "DB_PORT": "1433",
          "DB_USERNAME": "",
          "DB_PASSWORD": "",
          "DB_DATABASE": "",
          "CONNECTION_TIMEOUT": 600000,
          "REQUEST_TIMEOUT": 300000
          "DB_ENCRYPT": "false",
          "DB_ENABLE_ARITH_ABORT": "false",
          "DB_TRUST_SERVER_CERTIFICATE": "false",
          "TRUSTED_CONNECTION": "false"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Running the Development Server Locally

To test your local development version of the MCP server rather than using the published package, follow these steps:

1. Build the project:

bash
npm run build

2. Create or modify your `mcp.json` file to reference your local build:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mssql": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/local/mcp-node-mssql/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DB_HOST": "localhost",
        "DB_PORT": "1433",
        "DB_USERNAME": "",
        "DB_PASSWORD": "",
        "DB_DATABASE": "",
        "CONNECTION_TIMEOUT": 600000,
        "REQUEST_TIMEOUT": 300000
        "DB_ENCRYPT": "false",
        "DB_ENABLE_ARITH_ABORT": "false",
        "DB_TRUST_SERVER_CERTIFICATE": "false",
        "TRUSTED_CONNECTION": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Place this `mcp.json` file in one of the following locations:

    4. Restart your AI assistant (Cursor or Windsurf) to load the new configuration.

    This allows you to instantly test changes to the MCP server without having to publish a new version.
