Provides tools for managing ArangoDB databases, including collections, documents, queries (including AQL), and graph operations.
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., "@MCP ArangoDB list all collections in my database"
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.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ArangoDB, providing full database access through MCP's standardized tool interface.
Collections: Create, list, and manage document and edge collections
Documents: Full CRUD operations on documents
Queries: Simple query tools and raw AQL execution
Graphs: Graph creation, traversal, and edge management
Two Transport Modes: StdIO (for AI tool integration) and HTTP/SSE (for web-based access)
TypeScript: Full type safety with ArangoJS
95%+ Test Coverage: Unit, integration, and E2E tests
