🗄️ Couchbase MCP Server for LLMs
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact directly with Couchbase databases on Capella clusters. Query buckets, perform CRUD operations, execute N1QL queries, and manage data seamlessly through natural language.
🚀 Quick Start
1. Prerequisites
- Node.js 16 or higher
- A running Couchbase instance on Capella
- Claude Desktop application
2. Installation
Couchbase MCP Server can be installed in two ways:
### Option 1: Using NPX (Recommended)
The quickest way to get started is using NPX:
npx -y @couchbasedatabase/couchbase-mcp
### Option 2: Manual Installation
If you prefer to clone and run the project manually:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Aniket310101/MCP-Server-Couchbase.git
cd MCP-Server-Couchbase
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
3. Claude Desktop Integration
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:
Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
### Option 1: With Package Installation
{
"mcpServers": {
"couchbase": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@couchbasedatabase/couchbase-mcp"],
"env": {
"COUCHBASE_URL": "<COUCHBASE CONNECTION STRING>",
"COUCHBASE_BUCKET": "<BUCKET NAME>",
"COUCHBASE_USERNAME": "<COUCHBASE USERNAME>",
"COUCHBASE_PASSWORD": "<COUCHBASE PASSWORD>"
}
}
}
}
### Option 2: With Manual Installation
{
"mcpServers": {
"couchbase": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/MCP-Server-Couchbase/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"COUCHBASE_URL": "<COUCHBASE CONNECTION STRING>",
"COUCHBASE_BUCKET": "<BUCKET NAME>",
"COUCHBASE_USERNAME": "<COUCHBASE USERNAME>",
"COUCHBASE_PASSWORD": "<COUCHBASE PASSWORD>"
}
}
}
}

📚 Examples
Here are some example interactions with Claude using the MCP server:
1. List all buckets:
Could you show me all available buckets in the database?
2. Create a scope and collection:
Create a new scope called "users" and a collection called "profiles" in it
3. Query documents:
Find all users who signed up in the last 30 days
4. Create a document:
Create a new user document with name "John Doe" and email "john@example.com"
