About MindsDB (AI Database & Predictors) MCP Server
Connect your MindsDB instance to any AI agent and take full control of your machine learning workflows, automated predictions, and data integrations through natural SQL-based conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple MindsDB (AI Database & Predictors) tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Predictive Orchestration — Execute arbitrary SQL statements to trigger automated machine learning commands, including 'CREATE MODEL' and 'SELECT ... PREDICT' directly from your agent
- Model Lifecycle Audit — List trained AI tables (models) across your projects and retrieve detailed meta-features tracking generation progress or internal accuracy metrics
- Data Source Integration — Enumerate external databases connected through MindsDB (e.g., PostgreSQL, Snowflake, ClickHouse) to audit your data pipeline boundaries securely
- Virtual View Management — List virtual data views and SQL structural mappings that act as proxy tables for complex data transformation logic
- Cluster Diagnostics — Retrieve active cluster status and version statistics to verify the availability and health of your MindsDB environment
- Advanced SQL Execution — Run sophisticated queries combining scalar data with ML predictions to fetch literal insights across any schema entity natively
The MindsDB (AI Database & Predictors) MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

MindsDB (AI Database & Predictors) MCP Tools for Windsurf (6)
These 6 tools become available when you connect MindsDB (AI Database & Predictors) to Windsurf via MCP:
execute_sql_query
E.g: CREATE DATABASE, SELECT ... WHERE, CREATE MODEL ... PREDICT. Wrap logic safely. VERY IMPORTANT: queries returning a large number of rows MUST be explicitly wrapped in a LIMIT statement or risk hitting context overflow. Execute arbitrary SQL statements bounding MindsDB elements
get_model
Get an explicitly trained AI prediction engine
get_status
Acts as a ping tracer returning valid core version/health specs. Get active cluster diagnostic and version statistics
list_databases
List external databases connected through MindsDB
list_models
Use when checking which algorithms are ready to query predictions. List trained AI tables (models) available in a project
list_views
List virtual data views stored inside a target project
Example Prompts for MindsDB (AI Database & Predictors) in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with MindsDB (AI Database & Predictors) immediately.
"List all ML models in the 'mindsdb' project"
"Execute SQL: SELECT price, price_explain FROM mindsdb.home_price_predictor WHERE sqft = 2500"
"Show me all connected databases in my MindsDB instance"
