What is the ClickHouse (Vector Search) MCP Server?
Connect your ClickHouse cluster to any AI agent and take full control of your analytical and vector data through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Schema Management — List databases and tables, and inspect deep column schemas including specialized Array(Float32) vector types
- SQL Execution — Push arbitrary DML, DDL, or SELECT queries to your cluster to manage data and generate real-time reports
- Vector Search — Identify mathematical distance traces using cosineDistance or L2Distance metrics for high-dimensional semantic search
- Cluster Monitoring — Extract internal structural states, row counts, and compression ratios to audit cluster health
- Capability Auditing — Check instance versions and binary limits to identify exact capability branches like HNSW support
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your ClickHouse URL (Cloud or self-hosted), Username, and Password
- Start querying your analytical data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — generate complex analytical reports and execute SQL queries using natural language
- AI Developers — test and debug vector similarity searches and semantic matching without writing boilerplate code
- Database Administrators — monitor table statistics, compression ratios, and cluster versions across environments
- Product Teams — quickly verify analytical data and vector distributions during the prototyping phase

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent perform high-speed vector similarity searches?
Yes. Provide the database, table, and the vector embedding array in JSON format. The agent uses ClickHouse's native distance functions (cosine or L2) to return the closest matches, leveraging ClickHouse's industry-leading OLAP performance.
Can I execute arbitrary SQL commands directly through the agent?
Absolutely. The 'execute_sql' tool allows you to push any valid ClickHouse SQL (DML, DDL, or SELECT) to your cluster. This is perfect for managing tables, updating records, or generating custom analytical reports on the fly.
How do I check if my ClickHouse instance supports HNSW indices?
Ask your agent to get the version details. The agent checks your ClickHouse build and identifies exactly which capability branches are active, confirming if advanced vector features like HNSW support are available in your runtime environment.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
