New Reference MCP Servers for Generic Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

[kidehen]

Summary

Added ODBC and SQLAlchemy MCP Servers that provide generic DBMS connectivity via ODBC drivers (connectors). These connectors work with any ODBC driver.

ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) and SQLAlchemy MCP Servers enable generic data connectivity using existing ODBC drivers (connectors) provided by any DBMS. These connectors work with any ODBC driver.

Description

Server Details

• Server: Database Management System (DBMS)
• Changes to: Resources

Motivation and Context

Why?
There are no DBMS-independent MCP servers listed. Achieving DBMS independence can be challenging.

What Problem Does It Solve?
This update enables database-independent connectivity using an established open standard.

A generic MCP Server that connects to ODBC-accessible databases is a powerful demonstration of MCP’s practical utility. Fundamentally, this improves the context of any LLM-based MCP client by providing rich context from database management systems in a generic, rather than DBMS-specific, manner.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested with:

• Claude Desktop
• Cursor
• Cline extension for Visual Studio Code
• MCP Inspector

Breaking Changes

None.

Types of Changes

• Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation update
