database-mcp-cli

Instructions for operating DatabaseMcpServer from a command-line window, including its tools, settings, connections, and configuration files. A command-line interface lets you control software by typing commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to discover commands, find configuration files, validate settings, test connections, switch databases, and troubleshoot command output.
Why use it?
They help distinguish direct command-line operation from connecting an AI client through MCP, and provide checks for configuration and database connectivity.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

database-mcp-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DatabaseMcpServer CLI

Operate DatabaseMcpServer from the shell safely, deterministically, and with evidence.

Scope Gate

  • Use this skill for direct CLI invocations: tool, config, init, or -web.
  • Do not use CLI instructions to answer “how do I connect Claude/Cursor/Cline over MCP stdio?” Treat that as client integration.
  • Identify which executable is under test:
    • Installed global tool: DatabaseMcpServer
    • Current repository source: dotnet run --project 'src\DatabaseMcpServer\DatabaseMcpServer.csproj' -f 'net9.0' -- ...
  • Never assume the installed tool contains a source-tree change. If a new tool exists in source but global CLI says “unknown tool”, compare source help with dotnet tool list --global.

Core Workflow

  1. Discover exact syntax before guessing:

    DatabaseMcpServer tool list
    DatabaseMcpServer tool help <tool_name>
    DatabaseMcpServer config help <subcommand>
    
  2. Resolve the executable version and config path.

  3. Establish the current connection with get_current_database; do not infer it from isDefault.

  4. Run read-only checks before SQL or writes: validate_configuration → test_connection → get_database_config → list_databases.

  5. Inspect schema before composing SQL: is_any_table → get_table_schema/get_column_infos_by_table_name.

  6. Execute writes only within the user-authorized scope and with --yes.

  7. Capture argv, exit code, stdout, stderr, classification, and cleanup.

Version and Source Truth

  • Check an installed version with:

    dotnet tool list --global | Select-String databasemcpserver
    
  • DatabaseMcpServer --version is unsupported and exits 2; do not recommend it as a working check.

  • When validating a repository change, prefer dotnet run ... -- tool help <name> or the freshly packed local tool. State explicitly whether evidence came from source or the installed global tool.

  • If the global tool is stale, upgrade or install a newly versioned local package before diagnosing the feature as missing.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

database-mcp-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository ttcc666/DatabaseMcpServer (37 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 177 tokens to every session and 1,837 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
