What is the LanceDB (Serverless Vector DB) MCP Server?
Connect your LanceDB Cloud account to any AI agent and take full control of your serverless vector storage and RAG infrastructure through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Vector Orchestration — List all vectorized tables and retrieve precise schema metadata, including tensor dimensions and vector topologies directly from your agent
- Similarity Search — Execute highly-optimized KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) lookups to retrieve semantically related rows based on embedding array similarity
- Dynamic Ingestion — Insert new structured row payloads and vectors into existing tables, updating the underlying ANN index in real-time
- Table Management — Provision new columnar vector tables declaring specific Apache Arrow schemas and multi-dimensional layouts required for AI workloads
- Database Audit — Discover active table boundaries and verify storage configurations assigned to your serverless database instance securely
- Resource Cleanup — Irreversibly delete entire vector tables to maintain a clean and optimized data environment for your AI applications
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your LanceDB API URL, API Key, and Database Name
- Start managing your vector storage from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- RAG Developers — perform semantic searches and verify document retrieval results through natural conversation without manual Python scripts
- Data Engineers — provision and manage vector tables with strict Apache Arrow schemas to power multi-modal AI applications
- AI Architects — monitor vector topologies and audit storage usage across multiple serverless database instances efficiently

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings LanceDB (Serverless Vector DB) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can I perform a semantic similarity search using my agent?
Yes. Use the vector_search tool by providing the target Table name and a JSON array of floating-point numbers representing your query embedding. Your agent will return the k-nearest rows from LanceDB based on semantic similarity.
How do I create a new table with a specific Apache Arrow schema?
The create_table tool allows your agent to initialize a new columnar vector table. You just need to provide the desired Table name and a valid Apache Arrow schema mapping in JSON format defining dimensions and scalar fields.
Can my agent insert new embeddings directly into a LanceDB table?
Absolutely. Use the insert_rows tool to persist new data rows containing native embeddings and arbitrary JSON metadata. Your agent will handle the payload delivery, and LanceDB will automatically update its ANN index.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
