About StarRocks MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your high-performance OLAP infrastructure with StarRocks, the leading distributed analytical database. By connecting StarRocks to your agent, you transform complex cluster auditing, schema management, and data querying into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list databases, retrieve table schemas, monitor backend nodes, and even execute complex SQL queries without you ever needing to open a SQL terminal or the StarRocks Manager. Whether you are conducting a data audit or monitoring real-time ingestion jobs, your agent acts as a real-time data reliability assistant, keeping your analytical platform accurate and your insights moving.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings StarRocks data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Database Orchestration — List all databases and retrieve detailed table schemas and structures.
- Analytical Querying — Execute arbitrary SQL queries directly through the agent to retrieve real-time insights.
- Cluster Monitoring — Browse status and metadata for Frontend (FE) and Backend (BE) nodes to audit health.
- Ingestion Control — Monitor data load jobs and historical ingestion performance for your analytical pipelines.
- Storage Insights — Retrieve disk usage and data size statistics across the entire distributed cluster.
The StarRocks MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
