## Introduction

### How to integrate ClickHouse MCP with Cursor
Cursor is one of the leading AI-powered code editors. It is built to help developers write, understand, and refactor code faster with AI assistance built directly into the editor.
And in this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your ClickHouse account to Cursor via Composio Connect, so it can show total user signups for last week, summarize top 5 products by revenue, insert a new sales record into database, and more without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

## TL;DR

### Why Composio?
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Skip the work of building and maintaining integrations, Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors.
- One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand. A remote CLI workbench lets LLMs compose these tools into workflows for complex automation.

## What is the ClickHouse MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The ClickHouse MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ClickHouse account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform ClickHouse operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |

| `CLICKHOUSE_EXECUTE_QUERY` | Execute ClickHouse Query | Execute a SQL query in ClickHouse and return the results. This is the primary action for querying data from ClickHouse databases. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_GET_DATABASE_SCHEMA` | Get Database Schema | Get comprehensive schema overview of an entire database including all tables and optionally their column definitions. Essential for AI agents to understand the complete database structure in a single call. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_GET_PLAY_INTERFACE` | Get ClickHouse Play Interface | Get the ClickHouse Play web user interface for interactive query execution. Returns HTML page with Monaco Editor for writing queries and visualizing results. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_GET_TABLE_SCHEMA` | Get Table Schema | Get detailed schema information for a specific table including column definitions, types, keys, and optionally sample data. This is essential for AI agents to understand table structure before constructing queries. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_LIST_DATABASES` | List ClickHouse Databases | List all databases in the ClickHouse instance. Useful for discovering available databases before querying tables. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_LIST_TABLES` | List ClickHouse Tables | List tables in ClickHouse databases. Returns information about tables including their engine, size, and row count. |

## Supported Triggers

None listed.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Conclusion
You have successfully connected ClickHouse to Cursor using Composio Connect. Your agent can now use ClickHouse securely without exposing credentials in prompts or local scripts.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and ClickHouse MCP?

With a standalone ClickHouse MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of ClickHouse tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from ClickHouse and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Cursor?

Yes, you can. Cursor fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right ClickHouse tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for ClickHouse while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which ClickHouse scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your ClickHouse data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
