What is the Xata MCP Server?
Connect your Xata account to any AI agent to manage your serverless data infrastructure through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Organization Management — List, create, and update organizations, and manage member invitations and roles.
- Project Control — Create and list projects within your organizations and monitor resource limits and quotas.
- Database Operations — Manage branches, retrieve credentials, and execute SQL queries directly against your data.
- Developer Workflow — Handle API keys and GitHub integrations to streamline your deployment pipeline and repository mapping.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Xata API Key
- Start managing your databases from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Backend Developers — quickly spin up projects and branches without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- Data Engineers — query data and inspect organization structures via SQL directly through the agent.
- DevOps Managers — automate member access, invite collaborators, and manage API key rotations.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Xata into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Xata and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 28 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

Every tool call from Cursor to the Xata MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see all organizations I have access to?
Yes! Use the list_organizations tool to retrieve all Xata organizations available to your current API key.
How do I start a new project in a specific organization?
Simply use the create_project action providing the organization_id and the desired name for your new project.
Can I run raw SQL queries through the agent?
Yes, the execute_sql tool allows you to run SQL queries directly against your database branches for advanced data manipulation and analysis.
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.
