Materialize MCP Server
About
Materialize MCP Server transforms your Materialize indexed views into fully-typed, callable tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It lets you define stable, versioned, and secure data tools simply by creating SQL views and indexing them—no additional code required.

- Stable: define once, used repeatedly with consistent business logic.
- Typed: input and output schemas are automatically derived from the index.
- Observable: usage is logged per tool, making cost and performance explicit.
- Secure: only callable if a view and index are created.
- No extra code: tools are defined entirely through SQL views and indexes.
