Choose the database your agent needs - prebuilt configs cover Google Cloud and popular open-source databases.
Download the binary for your OS, use the container image, or run it through npx.
Use a prebuilt toolset with environment variables, or write a tools.yaml defining sources, tools and toolsets.
Point Claude, an IDE or your app (via the Toolbox SDKs) at the server and run your first query tool.
Instant standard tools for many databases via the --prebuilt flag, down to per-toolset granularity.
Define your own SQL tools, sources, toolsets, prompts and resources in a configuration file.
Google Cloud databases plus PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, Oracle, TiDB and others per the topic list.
Run a downloaded binary, a container image, or npx @toolbox-sdk/server.
Connect any MCP client, or embed Toolbox in your application with the Toolbox SDKs.
The server can run with a UI flag for interactive exploration of your tools.
Get the source code from GitHub and enter the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/googleapis/mcp-toolbox.git
cd mcp-toolboxStart the server against your tools.yaml (binary or npx route).
npx @toolbox-sdk/server --config tools.yaml
# or with the binary: ./toolbox --config "tools.yaml"Point Toolbox at a supported database with the prebuilt flag and the documented environment variables.
# toolbox --prebuilt=postgres/data - see README Prebuilt Tools Reference for env varsIt is maintained by Google (googleapis) on GitHub.
Yes - MCP Toolbox is Apache-2.0 licensed and free to use.
Toolbox itself needs no key; you provide your database's own credentials/connection settings, and cloud databases use their normal IAM or service-account auth.
Compared with hand-writing an MCP server per database, Toolbox gives you prebuilt, maintained toolsets and a config-driven custom-tool system from Google's team.
Download the binary or use npx, run it with --prebuilt for your database or a tools.yaml, and connect your MCP client.
