WHAT IT CONNECTS
What OpenLinkSoftware mcp sqlalchemy server gives an AI Agent
- **Get Schemas**: Fetch and list all schema names from the connected database.
- **Get Tables**: Retrieve table information for specific schemas or all schemas.
- **Describe Table**: Generate a detailed description of table structures, including:
- Column names and data types
- Nullable attributes
- Primary and foreign keys
- **Search Tables**: Filter and retrieve tables based on name substrings.
- **Execute Stored Procedures**: In the case of Virtuoso, execute stored procedures and retrieve results.
- **Execute Queries**:
- JSONL result format: Optimized for structured responses.
- Markdown table format: Ideal for reporting and visualization.
- **Install uv**:
- **unixODBC Runtime Environment Checks**:
- Check installation configuration (i.e., location of key INI files) by running: `odbcinst -j`
- List available data source names by running: `odbcinst -q -s`
- **ODBC DSN Setup**: Configure your ODBC Data Source Name (`~/.odbc.ini`) for the target database. Example for Virtuoso DBMS:
- **SQLAlchemy URL Binding**: Use the format:
- **podbc_get_schemas**
- Retrieve and return a list of all schema names from the connected database.
