Querying and Data Access

The `execute_query` tool lets you run any arbitrary SQL query against your StarRocks data. You don't need to open a separate terminal; just ask Claude, and it handles the full lifecycle of running and interpreting results. It’s perfect for PMs who need live API data or developers testing complex joins without leaving the chat interface.

Checking Cluster Health

Need to know if your StarRocks cluster is healthy? The `get_cluster_info` tool provides details on the frontend nodes. You can also run `list_nodes` to see a rundown of all backend nodes currently active. This helps you quickly diagnose connectivity issues or spot resource bottlenecks before they impact query performance.

Database and Schema Exploration

Don't know where the data lives? Use `list_databases` to see every database in your StarRocks deployment. Once inside, tools like `list_tables` or `list_views` show you exactly what objects are available. Plus, `get_table_schema` pulls out the precise structure—column names and data types—so you know exactly how to write your next query.
