**⚡ Supercharge Your Workflow with an AI Database Assistant ⚡**

Stop context-switching and let your AI assistant become a true co-developer. By
[connecting your IDE to your databases with MCP Toolbox][connect-ide], you can
delegate complex and time-consuming database tasks, allowing you to build faster
and focus on what matters. This isn't just about code completion; it's about
giving your AI the context it needs to handle the entire development lifecycle.

Here's how it will save you time:

- **Query in Plain English**: Interact with your data using natural language
  right from your IDE. Ask complex questions like, *"How many orders were
  delivered in 2024, and what items were in them?"* without writing any SQL.
- **Automate Database Management**: Simply describe your data needs, and let the
  AI assistant manage your database for you. It can handle generating queries,
  creating tables, adding indexes, and more.
- **Generate Context-Aware Code**: Empower your AI assistant to generate
  application code and tests with a deep understanding of your real-time
  database schema.  This accelerates the development cycle by ensuring the
  generated code is directly usable.
- **Slash Development Overhead**: Radically reduce the time spent on manual
  setup and boilerplate. MCP Toolbox helps streamline lengthy database
  configurations, repetitive code, and error-prone schema migrations.

Learn how to connect your AI tools to Enterprise GenAI Toolbox in our [IDE integration guides](docs/guides/).

```yaml
sources:
  # DynamoDB - NoSQL Database
  - name: my-dynamodb
    kind: dynamodb
    region: us-east-1
    # Uses AWS credential chain (env vars, ~/.aws/credentials, IAM role)

  # S3 - Object Storage
  - name: my-s3
    kind: s3
    region: us-west-2
    bucket: my-data-bucket

  # Redshift - Data Warehouse

    kind: cloudwatch
    region: us-east-1
    logGroup: /aws/lambda/my-function

tools:
  query-dynamo:
    kind: dynamodb-scan
    source: my-dynamodb
    description: Scan DynamoDB table
    parameters:
      - name: table_name
        type: string
        description: Table to scan

toolsets:
  aws-analytics:
    - query-dynamo
```

### 2. Start the server
```bash
./toolbox --tools-file tools.yaml
```

### 3. Connect your application
```python
from toolbox_core import ToolboxClient

async with ToolboxClient("http://127.0.0.1:5000") as client:

## General Architecture

Toolbox sits between your application's orchestration framework and your
database, providing a control plane that is used to modify, distribute, or
invoke tools. It simplifies the management of your tools by providing you with a
centralized location to store and update tools, allowing you to share tools
between agents and applications and update those tools without necessarily
redeploying your application.

execute `toolbox` to start the server:

<details open>
<summary>Binary</summary>

To run Toolbox from binary:

```sh
./toolbox --tools-file "tools.yaml"
```

> ⓘ Note  
> Toolbox enables dynamic reloading by default. To disable, use the
> `--disable-reload` flag.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Container image</summary>

To run the server after pulling the [container image](#installing-the-server):

```sh
export VERSION=0.11.0 # Use the version you pulled
docker run -p 5000:5000 \
-v $(pwd)/tools.yaml:/app/tools.yaml \
us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/database-toolbox/toolbox/toolbox:$VERSION \
--tools-file "/app/tools.yaml"
```

> ⓘ Note  
> The `-v` flag mounts your local `tools.yaml` into the container, and `-p` maps
> the container's port `5000` to your host's port `5000`.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Source</summary>

To run the server directly from source, navigate to the project root directory
and run:

```sh
go run .
```

> ⓘ Note  
> This command runs the project from source, and is more suitable for development
> and testing. It does **not** compile a binary into your `$GOPATH`. If you want
> to compile a binary instead, refer the [Developer
> Documentation](./DEVELOPER.md#building-the-binary).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Homebrew</summary>

If you installed Toolbox using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), the `toolbox`
binary is available in your system path. You can start the server with the same
command:

```sh
toolbox --tools-file "tools.yaml"
```

</details>

<details>

<summary>Gemini CLI</summary>

Interact with your custom tools using natural language. Check
[gemini-cli-extensions/mcp-toolbox](https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/mcp-toolbox)
for more information.

</details>

You can use `toolbox help` for a full list of flags! To stop the server, send a
terminate signal (`ctrl+c` on most platforms).

## Configuration

The primary way to configure Toolbox is through the `tools.yaml` file. If you
have multiple files, you can tell toolbox which to load with the `--tools-file
tools.yaml` flag.

You can find more detailed examples and reference documentation in our [examples directory](examples/) and [integration guides](docs/guides/).

### Sources

The `sources` section of your `tools.yaml` defines what data sources your
Toolbox should have access to. Most tools will have at least one source to
execute against.

For more details on configuring different types of sources, see:
- [AWS Integration Guide](docs/guides/AWS_INTEGRATIONS.md)
- [Production Deployment Guide](docs/guides/PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md)
- [Validation Guide](docs/guides/VALIDATION_GUIDE.md)

### Tools

The `tools` section of a `tools.yaml` define the actions an agent can take: what
kind of tool it is, which source(s) it affects, what parameters it uses, etc.

```yaml
tools:
  search-hotels-by-name:
    kind: postgres-sql
    source: my-pg-source
    description: Search for hotels based on name.
    parameters:
      - name: name
        type: string
        description: The name of the hotel.
    statement: SELECT * FROM hotels WHERE name ILIKE '%' || $1 || '%';
```

For more details on configuring different types of tools, see our [AWS Integration Guide](docs/guides/AWS_INTEGRATIONS.md) for examples.

### Toolsets

The `toolsets` section of your `tools.yaml` allows you to define groups of tools
that you want to be able to load together. This can be useful for defining
different groups based on agent or application.

```yaml
toolsets:
    my_first_toolset:
        - my_first_tool
        - my_second_tool
    my_second_toolset:
        - my_second_tool
        - my_third_tool
```

You can load toolsets by name:

```python
# This will load all tools
all_tools = client.load_toolset()

# This will only load the tools listed in 'my_second_toolset'
my_second_toolset = client.load_toolset("my_second_toolset")
```

### Prompts

The `prompts` section of a `tools.yaml` defines prompts that can be used for
interactions with LLMs.

```yaml
prompts:
  code_review:
    description: "Asks the LLM to analyze code quality and suggest improvements."
    messages:
      - content: "Please review the following code for quality, correctness, and potential improvements: \n\n{{.code}}"
    arguments:
      - name: "code"
        description: "The code to review"
```

For more details on configuring prompts, see the examples in your [tools.yaml configuration](examples/).

## Versioning

This project uses [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) (`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`).
Since the project is in a pre-release stage (version `0.x.y`), we follow the
standard conventions for initial  development:

### Pre-1.0.0 Versioning

While the major version is `0`, the public API should be considered unstable.
The version will be incremented  as follows:

- **`0.MINOR.PATCH`**: The **MINOR** version is incremented when we add
  new functionality or make breaking, incompatible API changes.
- **`0.MINOR.PATCH`**: The **PATCH** version is incremented for
  backward-compatible bug fixes.

### Post-1.0.0 Versioning

Once the project reaches a stable `1.0.0` release, the versioning will follow
the more common convention:

- **`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`**: Incremented for incompatible API changes.
- **`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`**: Incremented for new, backward-compatible functionality.
- **`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`**: Incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes.

The public API that this applies to is the CLI associated with Toolbox, the
interactions with official SDKs, and the definitions in the `tools.yaml` file.
