cockroachdb

What your AI can do with it

• Explore database schemas in connected CockroachDB clusters
• Write and run SQL queries against CockroachDB
• Debug and optimize slow or failing queries
• Manage distributed database clusters
• Connect through a self-hosted MCP Toolbox backend
• Connect through the managed CockroachDB Cloud MCP backend

Getting started

1. Have a CockroachDB cluster you can access, either self-hosted or on CockroachDB Cloud.
2. Install the CockroachDB plugin in your agent setup.
3. Choose and configure one of the two MCP backends: the self-hosted MCP Toolbox or the managed CockroachDB Cloud MCP.
4. Provide the connection details for your cluster so the agent can reach it.
5. Ask the agent to explore your schema or run a query to confirm the connection works.

Questions

What is the CockroachDB plugin?

It is a plugin that connects an AI agent to CockroachDB clusters, giving it 14 tools to explore schemas, run SQL, debug queries, and manage distributed clusters.

Which MCP backends does it support?

Two: a self-hosted MCP Toolbox and the managed CockroachDB Cloud MCP. You configure whichever fits how your cluster is deployed.

Do I need a CockroachDB Cloud account?

Only if you want to use the managed CockroachDB Cloud MCP backend. Self-hosted clusters can use the self-hosted MCP Toolbox instead.

Can the agent change my data?

It can run SQL and manage clusters, so review what it does before approving write operations on production databases.
