Tablebridge MCP

Turn a folder of CSV / Parquet / JSON files into one SQL-queryable source for your AI agent. Its 6 documented tools cluster into read & search, preview, refresh, server. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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

01 · Install Tablebridge MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set TABLEBRIDGE_DATA_DIR before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add michael-whitecapdata-tablebridge-mcp -- uvx tablebridge

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "michael-whitecapdata-tablebridge-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "tablebridge"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
