MCP Trino Server

Python 3.12+ VS Code Docker License

The MCP Trino Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with Trino and Iceberg, enabling advanced data exploration, querying, and table maintenance capabilities through a standard interface.

Use Cases

  • Interactive data exploration and analysis in Trino

  • Automated Iceberg table maintenance and optimization

  • Building AI-powered tools that interact with Trino databases

  • Executing and managing SQL queries with proper result formatting

Prerequisites

  1. A running Trino server (or Docker Compose for local development)

  2. Python 3.12 or higher

  3. Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)

Quick Start

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/alaturqua/mcp-trino-python.git cd mcp-trino-python

2. Create Environment File

Create a .env file in the root directory:

TRINO_HOST=localhost TRINO_PORT=8080 TRINO_USER=trino TRINO_CATALOG=tpch TRINO_SCHEMA=tiny

3. Run Trino Locally (Optional)

docker-compose up -d trino

This starts a Trino server on localhost:8080 with sample TPC-H and TPC-DS data.

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install MCP Trino Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @alaturqua/mcp-trino-python --client claude

Using uv (Recommended)

uv sync uv run src/server.py

Using pip

pip install -e . python src/server.py

Transport Modes

The server supports three transport modes:

Transport

Description

Use Case

stdio

Standard I/O (default)

VS Code, Claude Desktop, local MCP clients

streamable-http

HTTP with streaming

Remote access, web clients, Docker

sse

Server-Sent Events

Legacy HTTP transport

Running with Different Transports

# stdio (default) - for VS Code and Claude Desktop python src/server.py # Streamable HTTP - for remote/web access python src/server.py --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 # SSE - legacy HTTP transport python src/server.py --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Usage with VS Code

Add to your VS Code settings (Ctrl+Shift+P → Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)):

{ "mcp": { "servers": { "mcp-trino-python": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--with", "mcp[cli]", "--with", "trino", "--with", "loguru", "mcp", "run", "/path/to/mcp-trino-python/src/server.py" ], "envFile": "/path/to/mcp-trino-python/.env" } } } }

Or add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (without the mcp wrapper key).

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "trino": { "command": "python", "args": ["./src/server.py"], "env": { "TRINO_HOST": "your-trino-host", "TRINO_PORT": "8080", "TRINO_USER": "trino" } } } }

Docker Usage

Build the Image

docker build -t mcp-trino-python .

Run with stdio (for VS Code)

docker run -i --rm \ -e TRINO_HOST=host.docker.internal \ -e TRINO_PORT=8080 \ -e TRINO_USER=trino \ mcp-trino-python

Run with Streamable HTTP

docker run -p 8000:8000 \ -e TRINO_HOST=host.docker.internal \ -e TRINO_PORT=8080 \ mcp-trino-python \ --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Docker Compose

# Start Trino + MCP server with Streamable HTTP docker-compose up -d # Start with SSE transport docker-compose --profile sse up -d # Run stdio for testing docker-compose --profile stdio run --rm mcp-trino-stdio

VS Code with Docker

{ "mcp": { "servers": { "mcp-trino-python": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "--network", "mcp-trino-python_trino-network", "-e", "TRINO_HOST=trino", "-e", "TRINO_PORT=8080", "-e", "TRINO_USER=trino", "mcp-trino-python" ] } } } }
