Overview
The Dolt MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol bridge that gives AI assistants direct, programmatic access to Dolt's version-controlled SQL databases. It exposes a comprehensive suite of MCP tools for performing database management, table operations, data manipulation, and Dolt's version control workflows—branches, commits, diffs, merges—and remote operations such as clone, fetch, push, and pull. The server supports two deployment modes (HTTP REST API for web apps and stdio for tight integration with AI assistants) and can run via Docker or as a native binary. It connects to a Dolt SQL server instance and exposes 40+ tools across categories like Database Management, Table Operations, Data Operations, Branch Management, Version Control, Diff/Status, Merge, and Remote Operations. This design enables natural language or tool-based interactions, letting AI models query data, manage schemas, orchestrate version control tasks, and coordinate remote data operations in a single, unified MCP endpoint. Documentation includes installation, configuration, and example workflows for basic DB tasks, version control, and data analysis.
Features
Database Management
Tools to list, create, and drop databases and to retrieve Dolt server version information.
Table Operations
Manage tables including listing, describing, creating, altering, and dropping tables.
Data Operations
Query data (read) and execute data manipulation statements (insert, update, delete) via MCP.
Branch Management
Manage Dolt branches: list, create, switch active, delete, and rename branches.
Version Control
Interact with commits and staging areas: list commits, create commits, stage/unstage changes.
Diff and Status
Inspect uncommitted changes, diffs by table or date range, and check merge status.
Merge Operations
Merge branches with or without fast-forward to capture desired history.
Remote Operations
Manage remotes and perform clone, fetch, push, and pull against remote repositories.
Who Is This For?
- AI assistants:Provide direct access to Dolt databases for tasks via MCP using natural language or tool calls.
- AI integrators / developers:Integrate Dolt MCP into AI toolchains (e.g., Claude) via stdio or HTTP for workflow automation and tooling.
