What is the DataStax Astra DB Vector MCP Server?
Connect your Astra DB instance to any AI agent and seamlessly execute complex NoSQL and vector searches through natural conversation. Built on DataStax's powerful engine, this integration gives your AI agents full contextual access to your unstructured data layer.
What you can do
- Vector Search — Perform Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) similarity searches directly within your chat to find semantically related documents
- Document Management — Insert, discover, read, count, or delete exact NoSQL JSON documents across your active collections
- Collections — List and browse available tables and collections currently active in your configured Astra DB namespace
How it works
- Subscribe to this secure MCP Server
- Enter your Astra DB API Endpoint, Namespace, and Application Token
- Start querying your contextual vector database naturally from Claude, Cursor, or any compatible AI client
Your AI agent becomes a brilliant database administrator capable of exploring embeddings instantly.
Who is this for?
- AI Developers — retrieve precise contextual embeddings during advanced RAG workflows without leaving the IDE
- Data Engineers — explore and debug JSON document anomalies quickly through conversational commands
- Product Teams — inspect unstructured vector data dynamically to understand AI search results behavior
- DBAs — manage and count records across collections effortlessly

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent do similarity searches across vector embeddings?
Yes. Ask the agent to find documents related to a specific vector array in your target collection. The agent natively passes the numerical array directly into Astra DB's ANN engine, instantly returning the top semantically matched documents.
Does this work like standard Cassandra or is it strictly vector-only?
Both. While it excels at vector searches, the integration fully supports standard NoSQL JSON documents. You can insert, find, count, and delete standard text documents using strict JSON filters just like regular database operations.
Can I switch seamlessly between different collections?
Absolutely. Just mention the target collection by name in your prompts, and the agent adapts flawlessly. If you forget which ones exist, you can instruct it to list all available collections within your default namespace anytime.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
