Implementation Reference

  • The primary handler for the 'execute_query' MCP tool. Decorated with @mcp.tool() for automatic registration. Executes SQL queries on Vertica, manages connections, checks schema permissions based on operation type, fetches results, and returns them as a string.
    @mcp.tool() async def execute_query(ctx: Context, query: str) -> str: """Execute a SQL query and return the results. Args: ctx: FastMCP context for progress reporting and logging query: SQL query to execute database: Optional database name to execute the query against Returns: Query results as a string """ await ctx.info(f"Executing query: {query}") # Get or create connection manager manager = await get_or_create_manager(ctx) if not manager: return "Error: Failed to initialize database connection. Check configuration." # Extract schema from query if not provided schema = extract_schema_from_query(query) # Check operation permissions operation = extract_operation_type(query) if operation and not manager.is_operation_allowed(schema or "default", operation): error_msg = f"Operation {operation.name} not allowed for schema {schema}" await ctx.error(error_msg) return error_msg conn = None cursor = None try: conn = manager.get_connection() # Always use default DB connection cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(query) results = cursor.fetchall() await ctx.info(f"Query executed successfully, returned {len(results)} rows") return str(results) except Exception as e: error_msg = f"Error executing query: {str(e)}" await ctx.error(error_msg) return error_msg finally: if cursor: cursor.close() if conn: manager.release_connection(conn)
  • Helper function used by execute_query to lazily obtain or create the VerticaConnectionManager from the MCP context.
    async def get_or_create_manager(ctx: Context) -> VerticaConnectionManager | None: """Get connection manager from context or create it lazily. Args: ctx: FastMCP context Returns: VerticaConnectionManager instance or None if creation fails """ manager = ctx.request_context.lifespan_context.get("vertica_manager") if not manager: try: manager = VerticaConnectionManager() config = VerticaConfig.from_env() manager.initialize_default(config) await ctx.info("Connection manager initialized from request config") except Exception as e: await ctx.error(f"Failed to initialize database connection: {str(e)}") return None return manager
  • Helper to determine the SQL operation type (e.g., INSERT, DDL) for permission checks in execute_query.
    def extract_operation_type(query: str) -> OperationType | None: """Extract the operation type from a SQL query.""" query = query.strip().upper() if query.startswith("INSERT"): return OperationType.INSERT elif query.startswith("UPDATE"): return OperationType.UPDATE elif query.startswith("DELETE"): return OperationType.DELETE elif any(query.startswith(op) for op in ["CREATE", "ALTER", "DROP", "TRUNCATE"]): return OperationType.DDL return None
  • Helper to extract schema name from SQL query for permission validation in execute_query.
    def extract_schema_from_query(query: str) -> str | None: """Extract schema name from a SQL query.""" # database.table 또는 schema.table 패턴에서 schema 추출 match = re.search(r"([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)\.[a-zA-Z0-9_]+", query) if match: return match.group(1) return None
