[](https://smithery.ai/server/@PuroDelphi/mcpFirebird)
Implementation of Anthropic's MCP (Model Context Protocol) for Firebird databases.
## Example Usage

## What is MCP Firebird?
MCP Firebird is a server that implements Anthropic's [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-cookbook/tree/main/model_context_protocol) for [Firebird SQL databases](https://firebirdsql.org/). It allows Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude to access, analyze, and manipulate data in Firebird databases securely and in a controlled manner.
## Key Features
- **SQL Queries**: Execute SQL queries on Firebird databases
- **Schema Analysis**: Get detailed information about tables, columns, and relationships
- **Database Management**: Perform backup, restore, and validation operations
- **Performance Analysis**: Analyze query performance and suggest optimizations
- **Multiple Transports**: Supports STDIO and SSE (Server-Sent Events) transports
- **Claude Integration**: Works seamlessly with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients
- **VSCode Integration**: Works with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code
- **Security**: Includes SQL query validation and security configuration options
### Manual Installation
```bash
# Global installation
npm install -g mcp-firebird
# Run the server
npx mcp-firebird --database /path/to/database.fdb
```
For backup/restore operations, you'll need to install the Firebird client tools. See [Complete Installation](./docs/installation.md) for more details.
For VSCode and GitHub Copilot integration, see [VSCode Integration](./docs/vscode-integration.md).
## Basic Usage
### With Claude Desktop
1. Edit the Claude Desktop configuration:
```bash
code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json # Windows
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json # macOS
```
2. Add the MCP Firebird configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-firebird": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"mcp-firebird",
"--host",
"localhost",
"--port",
"3050",
"--database",
"C:\\path\\to\\database.fdb",
"--user",
"SYSDBA",
"--password",
"masterkey"
],
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
```
3. Restart Claude Desktop
### With SSE Transport
```bash
# Start with SSE transport
npx mcp-firebird --transport-type sse --sse-port 3003 --database /path/to/database.fdb
```
