Onboard New Customers From Chat

Stop writing one-off scripts to provision new tenants. Just ask your agent to run `create_tenant` with a customer's name, and Nile handles the database isolation instantly. It’s perfect for when a new B2B customer signs up and you need their environment ready now. Because Claude Desktop can run this MCP Server locally, you can connect directly to your staging Nile instance on localhost. Test your entire tenant lifecycle, from `create_tenant` to checking its configuration with `get_database`, before you ever push to production.

Get Database Metrics in Claude Desktop

Figure out which tenant is causing performance issues without digging through logs. Ask your agent to `get_metrics` for a specific database and get back the exact operational numbers. You'll see CPU, memory, and I/O stats right in your chat window. This isn't just a number dump. You can ask follow-up questions to drill down. For example, after getting the metrics, you can immediately ask to `list_tenants` on that database to see who might be affected. It turns monitoring from a chore into a conversation.

Audit Access and List Databases

Get a quick security overview. Use `list_tenants` to see every virtualized tenant on a database or `list_users` to enumerate who has access across the system. It's a fast way to answer "who can see what?" You can also use `list_databases` to get all the connection endpoints for your physical databases. This is useful for building connection strings or just confirming your infrastructure setup, a key benefit of using an MCP server in Claude.
