Usql-mcp acts as an intermediary, allowing AI assistants and other Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients to interact with various databases through the powerful usql command-line interface. It forwards tool requests directly to usql and streams the raw CLI output back to the client, ensuring consistent behavior with direct command-line execution. This enables intelligent agents to perform database operations, retrieve data, and manage database schemas using natural language prompts, leveraging usql's extensive database support.
