# 🗄️ Couchbase MCP Server for LLMs

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact directly with Couchbase databases on Capella clusters. Query buckets, perform CRUD operations, execute N1QL queries, and manage data seamlessly through natural language.

## 🚀 Quick Start

1. **Prerequisites**

   - Node.js 16 or higher
   - A running Couchbase instance on Capella
   - Claude Desktop application

2. **Installation**

   Couchbase MCP Server can be installed in two ways:

   ### Option 1: Using NPX (Recommended)

   The quickest way to get started is using NPX:

   ```bash
   npx -y @couchbasedatabase/couchbase-mcp
   ```

   ### Option 2: Manual Installation

   If you prefer to clone and run the project manually:

   ```bash
   # Clone the repository
   git clone https://github.com/Aniket310101/MCP-Server-Couchbase.git
   cd MCP-Server-Couchbase

   # Install dependencies
   npm install

   # Build the project
   npm run build
   ```

3. **Claude Desktop Integration**

   Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

   **Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`  
   **MacOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

   ### Option 1: With Package Installation

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "couchbase": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "@couchbasedatabase/couchbase-mcp"],
         "env": {
           "COUCHBASE_URL": "<COUCHBASE CONNECTION STRING>",
           "COUCHBASE_BUCKET": "<BUCKET NAME>",
           "COUCHBASE_USERNAME": "<COUCHBASE USERNAME>",
           "COUCHBASE_PASSWORD": "<COUCHBASE PASSWORD>"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   ### Option 2: With Manual Installation

   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "couchbase": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["path/to/MCP-Server-Couchbase/dist/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "COUCHBASE_URL": "<COUCHBASE CONNECTION STRING>",
           "COUCHBASE_BUCKET": "<BUCKET NAME>",
           "COUCHBASE_USERNAME": "<COUCHBASE USERNAME>",
           "COUCHBASE_PASSWORD": "<COUCHBASE PASSWORD>"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

4. **Verify Connection**

   - Restart Claude Desktop
   - The Couchbase MCP server tools should now be available in your conversations

## 📝 Available Tools

### Basic Operations

- `query`: Execute N1QL queries
- `listBuckets`: List available buckets

### Scope Management

- `createScope`: Create a new scope in a bucket
- `deleteScope`: Delete an existing scope
- `listScopes`: List all scopes in a bucket

### Collection Management

- `createCollection`: Create a new collection in a scope
- `dropCollection`: Delete a collection from a scope

### Document Operations

- `createDocument`: Create a new document
- `getDocument`: Retrieve a document by ID
- `updateDocument`: Update an existing document
- `deleteDocument`: Delete a document by ID
- `bulkCreateDocuments`: Create multiple documents at once

### Index Management

- `createIndex`: Create a new index on specified fields
- `createPrimaryIndex`: Create a primary index on a collection
- `listIndexes`: List all indexes in a bucket
- `dropIndex`: Drop an existing index

Each tool supports optional `collection` and `scope` parameters for targeting specific data containers.

## 🔒 Security Considerations

- Always use environment variables for sensitive credentials
- Consider running the server behind a reverse proxy for production use
- Implement appropriate access controls and authentication as needed

## 📚 Examples

Here are some example interactions with Claude using the MCP server:

1. List all buckets:

   ```
   Could you show me all available buckets in the database?
   ```

2. Create a scope and collection:

   ```
   Create a new scope called "users" and a collection called "profiles" in it
   ```

3. Query documents:

   ```
   Find all users who signed up in the last 30 days
   ```

4. Create a document:
   ```
   Create a new user document with name "John Doe" and email "john@example.com"
   ```
