JDBC MCP modified from quarkus-mcp-servers

Documentation

JDBC-MCP - Database Access for AI Assistants

Docker Hub
GitHub License

This is a fork of the Quarkus MCP JDBC Server with added features:

  • Docker deployment - Easily run the MCP SSE or MCP STDIO as a containerized application
  • Enhanced security - Write queries (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) are disabled by default and need to be explicitly enabled

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI assistants to interact with databases through JDBC connections, making it possible for LLMs to inspect, query, create, and modify database content.

New Features

Docker Deployment

You can now run the JDBC-MCP server in a Docker container.

MCP SSE

Simple usage

bash
docker run -d --name jdbc-mcp \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -e enable.write.sql=false \
  -e jdbc.user=db_user \
  -e jdbc.password=db_password \
  -e jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database \
  guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest

Using an Environment File

Create a `.env` file:

code
enable.write.sql=false
jdbc.user=db_user
jdbc.password=db_password
jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database

Then run:

bash
docker run -d --name jdbc-mcp \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --env-file .env \
  guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest

Docker Compose for SSE

Basic Example

yaml
services:
  jdbc-mcp:
    container_name: jdbc-mcp
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    environment:
      - enable.write.sql=false
      - jdbc.user=db_user
      - jdbc.password=db_password
      - jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database
    restart: always
    image: guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest

With Environment File

yaml
services:
  jdbc-mcp:
    container_name: jdbc-mcp
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    env_file:
      - .env
    restart: always
    image: guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest

MCP SSE URL

http://localhost:8080/mcp/sse```
### MCP STDIO
**Must** pass `quarkus.mcp.server.stdio.enabled=true`, `quarkus.log.console.enable=false` and `quarkus.log.console.stderr=false` environment variables with `-i` interactive option.
#### Simple usage

docker run --rm \

-e enable.write.sql=false \

-e jdbc.user=db_user \

-e jdbc.password=db_password \

-e jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database \

-e quarkus.mcp.server.stdio.enabled=true \

-e quarkus.log.console.enable=false \

-e quarkus.log.console.stderr=false \

guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest

code
#### Using an Environment File

docker run --rm

--env-file .env \

-e quarkus.mcp.server.stdio.enabled=true \

-e quarkus.log.console.enable=false \

-e quarkus.log.console.stderr=false \

guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest

code
### Claude Desktop Configuration (STDIO)
To use the Docker version with Claude Desktop, add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json` or `server_config.json` file:
#### Simple usage

{

"mcpServers": {

"jdbc": {

"command": "docker",

"args": [

"run",

"--rm",

"-e",

"enable.write.sql=false",

"-e",

"jdbc.user=db_user",

"-e",

"jdbc.password=db_password",

"-e",

"jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database",

"-e",

"quarkus.mcp.server.stdio.enabled=true",

"-e",

"quarkus.log.console.enable=false",

"-e",

"quarkus.log.console.stderr=false",

"-i",

"guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest"

]

}

}

}

code
#### Using an Environment File

{

"mcpServers": {

"jdbc": {

"command": "docker",

"args": [

"run",

"--rm",

"--env-file",

".env",

"-e",

"quarkus.mcp.server.stdio.enabled=true",

"-e",

"quarkus.log.console.enable=false",

"-e",

"quarkus.log.console.stderr=false",

"-i",

"guang1/jdbc-mcp:latest"

]

}

}

}

code
## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `jdbc.url` | JDBC connection URL (required) | - |
| `jdbc.user` | Database username | - |
| `jdbc.password` | Database password | - |
| `enable.write.sql` | Enable SQL operations that modify data | `false` |

### Supported Database Types

This MCP server supports multiple database types through JDBC. For detailed information on supported JDBC variants, please see the [quarkus-mcp-servers/jdbc documentation](https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-mcp-servers/blob/main/jdbc/README.md#supported-jdbc-variants).

## Security Considerations

⚠️ **Warning**: When `enable.write.sql` is set to `true`, the MCP server can execute SQL statements that modify data. Use with caution in production environments.

Consider these best practices:
- Use read-only database users when possible
- Implement network-level access controls
- Run in an isolated network environment

## Using with LLMs

This MCP server provides a standardized API that Large Language Models can use to interact with your database. To connect your LLM:

1. Configure the LLM to use the MCP server endpoint
2. Define the capabilities you want to allow (read-only vs. read-write)
3. Ensure your database schema is accessible to the MCP server
### Write Query Security

By default, write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) are disabled for security. To enable them:

- When using Docker: add `-e enable.write.sql=true` as shown above
