LanceDB MCP Server

Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for LanceDB vector database operations. This server enables efficient vector storage, similarity search, and management of vector embeddings with associated metadata.

Components

Resources

The server exposes vector database tables as resources:

table://{name}: A vector database table that stores embeddings and metadata
- Configurable vector dimensions
- Text metadata support
- Efficient similarity search capabilities

API Endpoints

Table Management

POST /table
- Create a new vector table
- Input:
  { "name": "my_table", # Table name "dimension": 768 # Vector dimension }

Vector Operations

POST /table/{table_name}/vector
- Add vector data to a table
- Input:
  { "vector": [0.1, 0.2, ...], # Vector data "text": "associated text" # Metadata }
POST /table/{table_name}/search
- Search for similar vectors
- Input:
  { "vector": [0.1, 0.2, ...], # Query vector "limit": 10 # Number of results }
