Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@DataBookShow me the schema of the users table"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
DataBook
An AI-editable SQL database app powered by MCP. The MCP server is the app — its tool definitions encode the product decisions. The AI's capabilities become the feature set.
What is DataBook?
DataBook is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants full control over a collection of SQLite databases. Instead of building a traditional CRUD UI, DataBook exposes database operations as MCP tools — letting any MCP-capable AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) act as the interface.
