# TimescaleDB MCP Server

A Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TimescaleDB that enables AI assistants to interact with your time-series database.

## Features

- **Async Database Operations**: Built on `asyncpg` for high-performance async database access
- **Connection Pooling**: Efficient connection pool management with configurable pool sizes
- **MCP Resources**: Schema introspection via MCP resources for tables and hypertables
- **MCP Prompts**: Pre-built prompts for common operations (query time-series, analyze hypertables, explore schema)
- **SQL Injection Prevention**: Parameterized queries throughout for security
- **Comprehensive Error Handling**: Custom exceptions with clear error messages
- **Type Safety**: Full type hints and TypedDict support
- **6 MCP Tools**: Execute queries, list/describe tables and hypertables, query time-series data
- **Structured Logging**: Comprehensive logging for debugging and monitoring

## Installation

### From PyPI

```bash
pip install timescaledb-mcp
```

Or using `uv` (faster):

```bash
uv pip install timescaledb-mcp
```

The package is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/timescaledb-mcp/).

### From Source

1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/brunoprela/timescaledb-mcp.git
cd timescaledb-mcp
```

2. Install using pip:
```bash
pip install -e .
```

Or using `uv`:
```bash
uv pip install -e .
```

For development with additional tools:
```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# or
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Configuration

Configuration is managed via environment variables with the `TIMESCALEDB_` prefix.

### Required Settings

```env
TIMESCALEDB_HOST=localhost
TIMESCALEDB_PORT=5432
TIMESCALEDB_DATABASE=your_database
TIMESCALEDB_USER=your_user
TIMESCALEDB_PASSWORD=your_password
```

### Optional Settings

```env
TIMESCALEDB_MIN_POOL_SIZE=1        # Minimum connection pool size (default: 1)
TIMESCALEDB_MAX_POOL_SIZE=10       # Maximum connection pool size (default: 10)
TIMESCALEDB_QUERY_TIMEOUT=30.0     # Query timeout in seconds (default: None)
```

You can set these as environment variables or create a `.env` file in the project root.

## Usage

### Running the Server

After installation, you can run the MCP server in several ways:

**Using the console script:**
```bash
timescaledb-mcp
```

**As a Python module:**
```bash
python -m timescaledb_mcp
```

The server will start and be ready to accept MCP protocol requests via stdio.

### MCP Client Configuration

To use this server with an MCP client (like Claude Desktop), add it to your MCP configuration.

**Option 1: Using the installed console script (recommended):**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "timescaledb": {
      "command": "timescaledb-mcp",
      "env": {
        "TIMESCALEDB_HOST": "localhost",
        "TIMESCALEDB_PORT": "5432",
        "TIMESCALEDB_DATABASE": "your_database",
        "TIMESCALEDB_USER": "your_user",
        "TIMESCALEDB_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Option 2: Using Python module:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "timescaledb": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "timescaledb_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TIMESCALEDB_HOST": "localhost",
        "TIMESCALEDB_PORT": "5432",
        "TIMESCALEDB_DATABASE": "your_database",
        "TIMESCALEDB_USER": "your_user",
        "TIMESCALEDB_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Option 3: Using uv (if installed via uv):**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "timescaledb": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "timescaledb-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TIMESCALEDB_HOST": "localhost",
        "TIMESCALEDB_PORT": "5432",
        "TIMESCALEDB_DATABASE": "your_database",
        "TIMESCALEDB_USER": "your_user",
        "TIMESCALEDB_PASSWORD": "your_password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## MCP Tools

The server provides the following tools:

- **`execute_query`**: Execute a SQL query with parameterized support and return results
- **`list_tables`**: List all tables in the database
- **`describe_table`**: Get detailed information about a table (columns, types, row counts)
- **`list_hypertables`**: List all TimescaleDB hypertables
- **`describe_hypertable`**: Get detailed information about a hypertable (dimensions, chunks, compression)
- **`query_timeseries`**: Query time-series data with optional time-bucketing and aggregation

## MCP Resources

The server exposes database schema as MCP resources:

- **Table Resources**: `timescaledb://table/{table_name}` - Access table schemas and metadata
- **Hypertable Resources**: `timescaledb://hypertable/{hypertable_name}` - Access hypertable schemas and metadata

Resources are automatically discovered and listed, making it easy for AI assistants to explore your database structure.

## MCP Prompts

Pre-built prompts for common operations:

- **`query_timeseries_data`**: Generate queries for time-series data retrieval
- **`analyze_hypertable`**: Analyze hypertable structure, chunks, and performance metrics
- **`explore_database_schema`**: Get an overview of all tables and hypertables in the database

## Development

This project uses the official MCP Python SDK to implement the Model Context Protocol.

### Project Structure

```

### Development Setup

1. Clone the repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/brunoprela/timescaledb-mcp.git
   cd timescaledb-mcp
   ```

2. Install in editable mode with dev dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -e ".[dev]"
   # or
   uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
   ```

3. Run tests:
   ```bash
   make test
   # or
   uv run pytest tests/ -v
   ```

4. Run tests with coverage:
   ```bash
   make test-cov
   # or
   uv run pytest tests/ -v --cov=timescaledb_mcp --cov-report=html
   ```

5. Run all checks:
   ```bash
   make check
   # This runs: lint, type-check, and test
   ```

### Testing

The test suite includes both unit tests (that don't require a database) and integration tests (that require a TimescaleDB instance).

**By default, `make test` automatically:**
- Starts a TimescaleDB Docker container
- Waits for it to be ready
- Runs all tests (including database tests)
- Stops and removes the container when done

Simply run:
```bash
make test
```

Or with coverage:
```bash
make test-cov
```

**Manual testing** (if you have your own TimescaleDB instance):
```bash
# Set environment variables
export TIMESCALEDB_HOST=localhost
export TIMESCALEDB_PORT=5432
export TIMESCALEDB_DATABASE=postgres
export TIMESCALEDB_USER=postgres
export TIMESCALEDB_PASSWORD=postgres

# Run tests against your database
make test-local
```

**Requirements**: Docker must be installed and running for `make test` to work. If Docker is not available, database tests will be skipped automatically.

### Code Quality

The project uses:
- **Black** for code formatting
- **Ruff** for linting
- **MyPy** for type checking
- **Pytest** for testing with async support

All checks run automatically in CI via GitHub Actions.

#### Running Checks Locally

You can run all checks locally using the Makefile:

```bash
# Install dev dependencies
make install-dev

# Run all checks (lint, type-check, test)
make check

# Or run individually:
make lint          # Run linters
make lint-fix      # Fix linting issues automatically
make format        # Format code with black
make type-check    # Run type checking
make test          # Run tests
make test-cov      # Run tests with coverage report
```

Alternatively, you can use `uv` directly:

```bash
# Linting
uv run ruff check src/ tests/
uv run black --check src/ tests/

# Type checking
uv run mypy src/

# Testing
uv run pytest tests/ -v
```

## Security

- **SQL Injection Prevention**: All queries use parameterized statements
- **Input Validation**: Table and hypertable names are validated
- **Connection Security**: Supports SSL connections (configure via connection string)
- **Error Handling**: Sensitive information is not exposed in error messages

## Performance

- **Async Operations**: Built on `asyncpg` for non-blocking I/O
- **Connection Pooling**: Efficient connection reuse with configurable pool sizes
- **Query Timeouts**: Configurable timeouts to prevent long-running queries
- **Resource Management**: Proper cleanup of connections and resources

## Publishing

The package is automatically published to PyPI via GitHub Actions when you create a GitHub Release. See [.github/SETUP_PUBLISHING.md](.github/SETUP_PUBLISHING.md) for setup instructions.

**Quick setup:**
1. Set up [PyPI Trusted Publishing](https://pypi.org/manage/account/publishing/) (recommended)
   - Or add `PYPI_API_TOKEN` as a GitHub secret
2. Update version in `pyproject.toml`
3. Create a GitHub Release with matching tag (e.g., `v0.1.0`)
4. The workflow will automatically build and publish to PyPI
