Fastbcp MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes FastBCP functionality for exporting data from databases to files (CSV, TSV, JSON, BSON, Parquet, XLSX, Binary) with optional cloud storage targets. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with bcp, data engineering and database and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Fastbcp MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set FASTBCP_PATH, FASTBCP_TIMEOUT, FASTBCP_LOG_DIR, LOG_LEVEL before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add arpe-io-fastbcp-mcp -- uvx fastbcp-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "arpe-io-fastbcp-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "fastbcp-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
