TiDB Cloud MCP. Inventory projects, clusters, and instances instantly.

You don't gotta open up a console or click through ten different dashboards to manage your TiDB Cloud setup anymore. Just connect your AI client, and your agent handles all the dirty work of talking directly to your database infrastructure. This server gives you command-line access to everything running in your organization.

If you need an overview, start by getting a full map of where your resources live. You can run list_projects to see every single project accessible across your entire TiDB Cloud account. That's your master list. Once you know which environment you’re dealing with, you use get_project to pull the detailed metadata and specific IDs for any one project by its name or ID.

This gives you a deep dive into that environment’s setup without leaving the chat window.

When it comes to your actual data stores, checking inventory is simple but crucial. Running list_instances pulls up a complete count of every TiDB X instance—you're talking Starter, Essential, and Premium tiers—that you've got running inside all those projects. This single call gives you the full scope of what’s active right now.

You won't miss a thing.

For performance-critical stuff, you need to inspect the cluster topology. You use list_clusters to get a list and details on dedicated database clusters within a specific project. These are your high-performance setups; this tool lets you check their status and structure quickly for auditing or planning upgrades. It's key for understanding how your core data is actually laid out.

The whole point here is that you bypass the UI friction. Instead of clicking through menus, your agent uses these tools to extract precise information: it gets the project names needed for scripting, pulls specific resource counts from list_instances, or maps out the physical structure using list_clusters. It streamlines checking whether a particular instance needs patching or if a whole project's metadata is up-to-date.

You simply tell your agent what you need to know—like "Show me all Premium instances in Project Alpha"—and it runs the necessary sequence of calls and spits out the actionable data right here. You’ll save yourself hours of clicking around in the web console just managing IDs, checking resource allocation across multiple environments, or confirming that every single required cluster is online and healthy.
