Execute SQL Queries with Claude Desktop

Need to pull data? Use the `execute_sql` tool to run raw SQL against any database branch. This lets you get real-time results without leaving your chat session. You can also run a batch of queries using `execute_sql_batch`, handling multiple transactions in one go. It’s perfect for bulk data validation or complex reporting tasks.

Manage Database Structure via MCP Server

Control your entire Xata setup right from the Desktop app. You can create new database branches with `create_branch` or wipe them clean using `delete_branch`. It gives you full control over your data architecture. Want to scope down? Use `create_project` and `update_project` to organize different client initiatives, keeping things clean.

Handle Organization Access Controls

Keep your teams secure. The MCP Server lets you manage who belongs where. You can send new invites with `send_invitation`, or remove existing users using `remove_member`. If someone leaves, don't worry; you can also delete their access by calling `delete_invitation`.
