What is the Fauna (Serverless DB) MCP Server?
Connect your Fauna serverless database to any AI agent and manage your data infrastructure through natural conversation and powerful FQL queries.
What you can do
- Execute FQL — Run any Fauna Query Language (FQL) command to read, create, update, or delete data across your database.
- Data Exploration — List collections, query indexes, and fetch specific documents directly from your AI interface.
- Parameterized Queries — Use the arguments field to pass complex JSON data safely into your FQL execution logic.
- Schema Management — Inspect and manage your database schema, including collections and indexes, using standard FQL commands.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Fauna Secret (and optional Region URL)
- Start managing your serverless data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more switching to the Fauna dashboard for quick data lookups or schema checks. Your AI acts as a database administrator and developer assistant.
Who is this for?
- Backend Developers — test FQL queries and verify data state directly from the code editor.
- Data Engineers — perform quick data migrations or cleanup tasks using natural language prompts.
- Product Teams — retrieve real-time usage metrics or user data without needing a custom admin panel.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Can be used for reading, creating, updating, or deleting data depending on the FQL string provided. Execute a Fauna Query Language (FQL) query
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Fauna (Serverless DB) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Fauna (Serverless DB) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 1 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I perform write operations like creating or updating documents?
Yes. The execute_fql tool allows any valid FQL command. If your Fauna Secret has the appropriate permissions (e.g., 'server' or 'admin' role), you can create, update, and delete data.
How do I handle complex query arguments?
You can use the optional arguments parameter in the execute_fql tool. Pass a JSON object containing your variables, and reference them within your FQL string.
Does this support Fauna's regional endpoints?
Yes. You can provide a FAUNA_REGION_URL (e.g., for US or EU regions) as an optional credential during setup to ensure the agent connects to the correct database cluster.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
