SQL MCP Server Demo

SQL MCP Server Demo

This repository implements a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SQL Server using Microsoft Data API Builder (DAB) 2.0. It exposes read-only data access tools (describe_entities, read_records, and aggregate_records) to a local Ollama model (qwen3:8b) via a Python MCP client and Streamlit frontend.

Running the Project

Follow these steps to start and run the application:

Step 1: Start Services

Ensure your local SQL Server instance and Ollama are running:

sqllocaldb start MSSQLLocalDB
ollama run qwen3:8b

Step 2: Start the DAB MCP Server

Open a terminal, activate your virtual environment, and run the DAB server:

# Navigate to workspace
cd A:\sql-mcp-demo

# Activate environment
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Start DAB MCP Server
C:\Users\kamal\.dotnet\tools\dab.exe start --config .\dab\dab-config.json

The server will start listening at http://localhost:5000/mcp.

Step 3: Run the Streamlit Application

Open a second terminal window and launch the frontend dashboard:

# Navigate to workspace
cd A:\sql-mcp-demo

# Activate environment
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Launch Streamlit
streamlit run app.py

This will open the dashboard in your web browser at http://localhost:8501.


Verification & Tests

Dynamic Schema & Client test

To test the tool negotiation loop directly via the command-line client:

python mcp_client.py

Verification Scripts


Schema Validation Bug Fixed

A critical schema validation issue in Microsoft's Data API Builder v2.0.9 was addressed:

  • The standard DAB schema validator contains a bug where defining "mcp" at the entity level for table types incorrectly triggers a stored-procedure constraint (requiring source.type to be stored-procedure).

  • This was resolved by removing the redundant entity-level "mcp" block since MCP capability is already configured globally at the runtime level.
