Dgraph MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Dgraph graph database, built using the mcp-go library.

Overview

This project implements an MCP server that allows LLM applications to interact with a Dgraph database. It provides tools for:

  • Executing DQL queries
  • Performing mutations
  • Altering the schema
  • Retrieving the current schema

Prerequisites

  • Go 1.18 or higher
  • Dgraph database (running locally or remotely)

Installation

1. Clone this repository

2. Install dependencies:

bash
go mod download

Configuration

The server can be configured using environment variables:

  • `DGRAPH_HOST`: Dgraph host address (default: `localhost:9080`)

Usage

Running the Server

bash
go run main.go

The server uses standard input/output for communication with LLM applications.

Available Tools

1. dgraph_query

Execute a DQL query against Dgraph.

Parameters:

  • `query` (string, required): The DQL query to execute
  • `variables` (object, optional): Variables for the query

Example:

json
{
  "tool": "dgraph_query",
  "params": {
    "query": "{ me(func: has(name)) { name } }"
  }
}

2. dgraph_mutate

Execute a mutation against Dgraph.

Parameters:

  • `mutation` (string, required): The RDF mutation to execute
  • `commit` (boolean, optional): Whether to commit the transaction (default: true)

Example:

json
{
  "tool": "dgraph_mutate",
  "params": {
    "mutation": "_:person  \"John Doe\" .",
    "commit": true
  }
}

3. dgraph_alter_schema

Alter the Dgraph schema.

Parameters:

  • `schema` (string, required): The schema definition to apply

Example:

json
{
  "tool": "dgraph_alter_schema",
  "params": {
    "schema": "name: string @index(exact) ."
  }
}

Available Resources

1. dgraph://schema

Returns the current Dgraph schema.

Integration with LLM Applications

This server can be integrated with any LLM application that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The server communicates via standard input/output, making it easy to integrate with various LLM frameworks.

Example Queries

Basic Query

code
{
  people(func: has(name)) {
    name
    age
    friends {
      name
    }
  }
}

Adding Data

code
_:alice  "Alice" .
_:alice  "30" .
_:bob  "Bob" .
_:bob  "32" .
_:alice  _:bob .

Schema Definition

code
name: string @index(exact) .
age: int .
friend: [uid] .
