How to Set Up and Use StarRocks Database
The StarRocks MCP Server is an official Model Context Protocol implementation from the StarRocks team that gives AI clients intelligent access to StarRocks analytical databases. It exposes tools for executing SELECT and DDL/DML queries, analyzing query performance profiles, generating Plotly visualizations from query results, and browsing table schemas and database overviews. Engineers and data analysts can connect an AI assistant to a StarRocks cluster to diagnose slow queries, monitor storage health, and explore data interactively without switching between tools.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ and `uv` installed (`pip install uv` or via https://astral.sh/uv)
- A running StarRocks instance with a reachable MySQL-protocol endpoint (default port 9030)
- StarRocks user credentials with appropriate read/write permissions
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor
Test your StarRocks connection
Before configuring the MCP client, verify the server can reach your StarRocks instance using the `--test` flag. Replace the connection string with your actual credentials and host.
STARROCKS_URL=root:password@localhost:9030 uv run mcp-server-starrocks --testSet connection environment variables
Configure the StarRocks connection either as a single URL or as individual host/port/user/password variables. The URL format is `user:password@host:port/database`.
export STARROCKS_HOST=localhost
export STARROCKS_PORT=9030
export STARROCKS_USER=root
export STARROCKS_PASSWORD=your-password
export STARROCKS_DB=your_databaseAdd the server to your MCP client configuration
Register the StarRocks MCP server in your client's config file using `uv run` to launch it in stdio mode.
Configure optional output directory
Large query results are written to disk rather than returned inline. Set `STARROCKS_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR` to control where these files are saved (default: `~/.mcp-server-starrocks/output/`).
export STARROCKS_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR=/tmp/starrocks-mcp-outputVerify by browsing databases
Ask your AI client to list all databases or show the schema for a specific table to confirm the connection is working.

Example analytical and diagnostic queries for a connected StarRocks database.
- "List all tables in the analytics database and show their row counts"
- "Run a query to find the top 10 products by sales in the last 30 days"
- "Analyze the performance of this slow query and explain the bottlenecks: SELECT ..."
- "Show me the schema for the orders table including column types and comments"
- "Generate a bar chart of daily active users for the past week using Plotly"Troubleshooting StarRocks Database
Connection refused or timeout when connecting to StarRocks
Verify the host and port are correct and that the StarRocks FE (Frontend) node is running. The default MySQL protocol port is 9030, not 8000. Test connectivity with `mysql -h localhost -P 9030 -u root -p`.
Query results are truncated or return a file path instead of data
Large result sets are saved to `STARROCKS_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR` (default: `~/.mcp-server-starrocks/output/`). The tool returns the file path — open that file to see the full results, or add a LIMIT clause to your query to reduce output size.
Authentication fails with 'Access denied' errors
Confirm `STARROCKS_USER` and `STARROCKS_PASSWORD` are correct. On macOS you can store the password in Keychain and reference it via `STARROCKS_PASSWORD_KEYCHAIN_SERVICE` and `STARROCKS_PASSWORD_KEYCHAIN_ACCOUNT` instead of putting plaintext credentials in the config.
