## Quick Start

### 1. Install

```bash
pip install cockroachdb-mcp
```

### 2. Configure Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

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

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cockroachdb": {
      "command": "cockroachdb-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CRDB_HOST": "your-cluster.cockroachlabs.cloud",
        "CRDB_USER": "your-username",
        "CRDB_PASSWORD": "your-password",
        "CRDB_DATABASE": "your-database",
        "CRDB_CLUSTER": "your-cluster-id",
        "CRDB_READ_ONLY": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Restart Claude Desktop

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. You'll see a hammer icon indicating tools are available.

### 4. Start Chatting

Ask Claude about your CockroachDB data:

> "What tables are available?"

> "Describe the users table"

> "Show me the top 10 orders by total amount"

> "What's the cluster health status?"
