Trino MCP Server
This repository provides an MCP (Model-Control-Protocol) server that allows you to list and query tables via Trino using Python.
Overview
- MCP: MCP is a protocol for bridging AI models, data, and tools. This example MCP server provides:
- A list of Trino tables as MCP resources
- Ability to read table contents through MCP
- A tool for executing arbitrary SQL queries against Trino
- Trino: A fast, distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. This server makes use of Trino’s Python client (trino.dbapi) to connect to a Trino host, catalog, and schema.
Requirements
- Python 3.9+ (or a version compatible with mcp, trino, and asyncio)
- trino (the Python driver for Trino)
- mcp (the Model-Control-Protocol Python library)
