How do I install Text2sql?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Text2sql need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: TEXT2SQL_DATABASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, TEXT2SQL_MODEL.

What transport does Text2sql use?

Text2sql runs locally over stdio.

When was Text2sql last checked?

Last checked 2026-11-09. Ask any SQL database in natural language. Agent explores schema, writes SQL, self-corrects.

Credentials from the publisher

TEXT2SQL_DATABASE_URL — SQLAlchemy connection URL, e.g. sqlite:///mydb.db or postgresql://user:pass@host/db
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — Anthropic API key (required if using the default Anthropic model)
OPENAI_API_KEY — OpenAI API key (required when TEXT2SQL_MODEL is set to an openai:* model)
TEXT2SQL_MODEL — Optional LangChain model id (default: anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-6)

Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.

Questions

text2sql-mcp

MCP server for text2sql-framework. Plugs into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Goose, or any other MCP-compatible assistant and lets it ask a SQL database questions in natural language.

The agent explores the schema, writes SQL, executes it against the real DB, and self-corrects on errors — no RAG layer, no schema descriptions, no pre-computed embeddings.

Install

Out of the box, text2sql-mcp supports SQLite + Anthropic:

pip install text2sql-mcp
# or
uvx text2sql-mcp

For other databases or LLM providers, install with the matching extra so the right driver gets installed:

You want…	Install command
SQLite (default)	`uvx text2sql-mcp`
Postgres	`uvx 'text2sql-mcp[postgres]'`
MySQL	`uvx 'text2sql-mcp[mysql]'`
Snowflake	`uvx 'text2sql-mcp[snowflake]'`
BigQuery	`uvx 'text2sql-mcp[bigquery]'`
OpenAI models	add `openai`, e.g. `uvx 'text2sql-mcp[postgres,openai]'`

Configure

Set environment variables in your MCP client config:

Variable	Required	Description
`TEXT2SQL_DATABASE_URL`	yes	SQLAlchemy URL, e.g. `sqlite:///mydb.db`, `postgresql://user:pass@host/db`
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `OPENAI_API_KEY`	yes	LLM provider key
`TEXT2SQL_MODEL`	no	LangChain model id (default: `anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-6`)
`TEXT2SQL_INSTRUCTIONS`	no	Business rules / hints, e.g. "Revenue = net of refunds."
`TEXT2SQL_EXAMPLES`	no	Path to a scenarios.md file for the agent's `lookup_example` tool

Tools

query(question, max_rows=100) — ask the database a natural-language question. Returns {sql, data, error, row_count, tool_calls_made}.

How it works

Under the hood this is a thin wrapper around text2sql-framework, which uses LangChain Deep Agents to do iterative tool-calling against a single execute_sql tool. See the framework README for benchmarks (19/20 on Spider zero-shot across 80 tables) and architecture details.
