About ClickHouse (Vector Search) MCP Server
Connect your ClickHouse cluster to any AI agent and take full control of your analytical and vector data through natural conversation.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including ClickHouse (Vector Search) tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 7 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Schema Management — List databases and tables, and inspect deep column schemas including specialized Array(Float32) vector types
- SQL Execution — Push arbitrary DML, DDL, or SELECT queries to your cluster to manage data and generate real-time reports
- Vector Search — Identify mathematical distance traces using cosineDistance or L2Distance metrics for high-dimensional semantic search
- Cluster Monitoring — Extract internal structural states, row counts, and compression ratios to audit cluster health
- Capability Auditing — Check instance versions and binary limits to identify exact capability branches like HNSW support
The ClickHouse (Vector Search) MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
