The Astra DB API Endpoint To learn how to get these, please [read the getting started docs](https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra-db-serverless/api-reference/dataapiclient.html#set-environment-variables). ## Adding to an MCP client Here's how you can add this server to your MCP client. ### Claude Desktop  To add this to [Claude Desktop](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-desktop), go to Preferences -> Developer -> Edit Config and add this JSON blob to `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "astra-db-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@datastax/astra-db-mcp"], "env": { "ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN": "your_astra_db_token", "ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT": "your_astra_db_endpoint" } } } } ``` ### Cursor  To add this to [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/), go to Settings -> Cursor Settings -> MCP From there, you can add the server by clicking the "+ Add New MCP Server" button and entering the following values: - Name: Whatever you want - Type: Command - Command: ```sh env ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN=your_astra_db_token ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT=your_astra_db_endpoint npx -y @datastax/astra-db-mcp ``` Once added, your editor will be fully connected to your Astra DB database. ## Available Tools The server provides the following tools for interacting with Astra DB: - `GetCollections`: Get all collections in the database - `CreateCollection`: Create a new collection in the database - `UpdateCollection`: Update an existing collection in the database - `DeleteCollection`: Delete a collection from the database - `ListRecords`: List records from a collection in the database - `GetRecord`: Get a specific record from a collection by ID - `CreateRecord`: Create a new record in a collection - `UpdateRecord`: Update an existing record in a collection - `DeleteRecord`: Delete a record from a collection
