Required Environment Variables
The server requires the following environment variables for database connection:
SINGLESTORE_HOST=your-host.singlestore.com
SINGLESTORE_PORT=3306
SINGLESTORE_USER=your-username
SINGLESTORE_PASSWORD=your-password
SINGLESTORE_DATABASE=your-databaseAll these environment variables are required for the server to establish a connection to your SingleStore database. The connection uses SSL with the SingleStore CA bundle, which is automatically fetched from the SingleStore portal.
Optional Environment Variables
For SSE (Server-Sent Events) protocol support:
SSE_ENABLED=true # Enable the SSE HTTP server (default: false if not set)
SSE_PORT=3333 # HTTP port for the SSE server (default: 3333 if not set)Setting Environment Variables
1. In Your Shell:
Set the variables in your terminal before running the server:
export SINGLESTORE_HOST=your-host.singlestore.com
export SINGLESTORE_PORT=3306
export SINGLESTORE_USER=your-username
export SINGLESTORE_PASSWORD=your-password
export SINGLESTORE_DATABASE=your-database2. In Client Configuration Files:
Add the variables to your MCP client configuration file as shown in the integration sections below.
Usage
Protocol Support
This server supports two protocols for client integration:
1. MCP Protocol: The standard Model Context Protocol using stdio communication, used by Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and Cursor.
2. SSE Protocol: Server-Sent Events over HTTP for web-based clients and applications that need real-time data streaming.
Both protocols expose the same tools and functionality, allowing you to choose the best integration method for your use case.

})Running Standalone
1. Build the server:
npm run build2. Run the server with MCP protocol only:
node build/index.js3. Run the server with both MCP and SSE protocols:
SSE_ENABLED=true SSE_PORT=3333 node build/index.jsUsing the SSE Protocol
When SSE is enabled, the server exposes the following HTTP endpoints:
1. Root Endpoint
GET /Returns server information and available endpoints.
2. Health Check
GET /healthReturns status information about the server.
3. SSE Connection
GET /sseEstablishes a Server-Sent Events connection for real-time updates.
4. List Tools
GET /toolsReturns a list of all available tools, same as the MCP `list_tools` functionality.
Also supports POST requests for MCP Inspector compatibility:
POST /tools
Content-Type: application/json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": "request-id",
"method": "mcp.list_tools",
"params": {}
}5. Call Tool
POST /call-tool
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "tool_name",
"arguments": {
"param1": "value1",
"param2": "value2"
},
"client_id": "optional_sse_client_id_for_streaming_response"
}Executes a tool with the provided arguments.
Also supports standard MCP format for MCP Inspector compatibility:
POST /call-tool
Content-Type: application/json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": "request-id",
"method": "mcp.call_tool",
"params": {
"name": "tool_name",
"arguments": {
"param1": "value1",
"param2": "value2"
},
"_meta": {
"client_id": "optional_sse_client_id_for_streaming_response"
}
}
}SSE Event Types
When using SSE connections, the server sends the following event types:
1. message (unnamed event): Sent when an SSE connection is successfully established.
2. open: Additional connection established event.
3. message: Used for all MCP protocol messages including tool start, result, and error events.
All events follow the JSON-RPC 2.0 format used by the MCP protocol. The system uses the standard `message` event type for compatibility with the MCP Inspector and most SSE client libraries.
Example JavaScript Client
// Connect to SSE endpoint
const eventSource = new EventSource('http://localhost:3333/sse');
let clientId = null;
// Handle connection establishment via unnamed event
eventSource.onmessage = (event) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
if (data.type === 'connection_established') {
clientId = data.clientId;
console.log(`Connected with client ID: ${clientId}`);
}
};
// Handle open event
eventSource.addEventListener('open', (event) => {
console.log('SSE connection opened via open event');
});
// Handle all MCP messages
eventSource.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
if (data.jsonrpc === '2.0') {
if (data.result) {
console.log('Tool result:', data.result);
} else if (data.error) {
console.error('Tool error:', data.error);
} else if (data.method === 'mcp.call_tool.update') {
console.log('Tool update:', data.params);
}
}
});
// Call a tool with streaming response (custom format)
async function callTool(name, args) {
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3333/call-tool', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
name: name,
arguments: args,
client_id: clientId
})
});
return response.json();
}
// Call a tool with streaming response (MCP format)
async function callToolMcp(name, args) {
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3333/call-tool', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
jsonrpc: '2.0',
id: 'request-' + Date.now(),
method: 'mcp.call_tool',
params: {
name: name,
arguments: args,
_meta: {
client_id: clientId
}
}
})
});
return response.json();
}
// Example usage
callTool('list_tables', {})
.then(response => console.log('Request accepted:', response));Using with MCP Inspector
The MCP Inspector is a browser-based tool for testing and debugging MCP servers. To use it with this server:
1. Start both the server and MCP inspector in one command:
npm run inspectorOr start just the server with:
npm run start:inspector2. To install and run the MCP Inspector separately:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspectorThe inspector will open in your default browser.
3. When the MCP Inspector opens:
a. Enter the URL in the connection field:
http://localhost:8081Note: The actual port may vary depending on your configuration. Check the server
startup logs for the actual port being used. The server will output:
MCP SingleStore SSE server listening on port XXXXb. Make sure "SSE" is selected as the transport type
c. Click "Connect"
4. If you encounter connection issues, try these alternatives:
a. Try connecting to a specific endpoint:
http://localhost:8081/streamb. Try using your machine's actual IP address:
http://192.168.1.x:8081c. If running in Docker:
http://host.docker.internal:80815. Debugging connection issues:
a. Verify the server is running by visiting http://localhost:8081 in your browser
b. Check the server logs for connection attempts
c. Try restarting both the server and inspector
d. Make sure no other service is using port 8081
e. Test SSE connection with the provided script:
npm run test:sseOr manually with curl:
curl -N http://localhost:8081/ssef. Verify your firewall settings allow connections to port 8081
6. Once connected, the inspector will show all available tools and allow you to test them interactively.
⚠️ Note: When using the MCP Inspector, you must use the full URL, including the `http://` prefix.

Installing in Cursor
1. Add the server configuration to your Cursor settings:
{
"singlestore": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/mcp-server-singlestore/build/index.js"],
"env": {
"SINGLESTORE_HOST": "your-host.singlestore.com",
"SINGLESTORE_PORT": "3306",
"SINGLESTORE_USER": "your-username",
"SINGLESTORE_PASSWORD": "your-password",
"SINGLESTORE_DATABASE": "your-database",
"SSE_ENABLED": "true",
"SSE_PORT": "3333"
}
}
}The SSE_ENABLED and SSE_PORT variables allow web applications to connect to the server via HTTP and receive real-time updates through Server-Sent Events.
2. Restart Cursor
3. When using Claude AI within Cursor, the SingleStore MCP tools will be available for database operations.
Security Considerations
1. Never commit credentials to version control
2. Use environment variables or secure configuration management
3. Consider using a connection pooling mechanism for production use
4. Implement appropriate access controls and user permissions in SingleStore
5. Keep the SingleStore CA bundle up to date
