⚡ Supercharge Your Workflow with an AI Database Assistant ⚡
Stop context-switching and let your AI assistant become a true co-developer. By [connecting your IDE to your databases with MCP Toolbox][connect-ide], you can delegate complex and time-consuming database tasks, allowing you to build faster and focus on what matters. This isn't just about code completion; it's about giving your AI the context it needs to handle the entire development lifecycle.
Here's how it will save you time:
- Query in Plain English: Interact with your data using natural language right from your IDE. Ask complex questions like, "How many orders were delivered in 2024, and what items were in them?" without writing any SQL.
- Automate Database Management: Simply describe your data needs, and let the AI assistant manage your database for you. It can handle generating queries, creating tables, adding indexes, and more.
- Generate Context-Aware Code: Empower your AI assistant to generate application code and tests with a deep understanding of your real-time database schema. This accelerates the development cycle by ensuring the generated code is directly usable.
- Slash Development Overhead: Radically reduce the time spent on manual setup and boilerplate. MCP Toolbox helps streamline lengthy database configurations, repetitive code, and error-prone schema migrations.

General Architecture
Toolbox sits between your application's orchestration framework and your database, providing a control plane that is used to modify, distribute, or invoke tools. It simplifies the management of your tools by providing you with a centralized location to store and update tools, allowing you to share tools between agents and applications and update those tools without necessarily redeploying your application.

To install Gemini CLI Extensions for MCP Toolbox, run the following command:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/mcp-toolbox✅ Verification:
genai-toolbox --version
genai-toolbox --helpRunning the server
Configure a tools.yaml to define your tools, and then
execute toolbox to start the server:
To run Toolbox from binary:
./toolbox --tools-file "tools.yaml"ⓘ Note
Toolbox enables dynamic reloading by default. To disable, use the--disable-reloadflag.
To run the server after pulling the container image:
export VERSION=0.11.0 # Use the version you pulled
docker run -p 5000:5000 \
-v $(pwd)/tools.yaml:/app/tools.yaml \
us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/database-toolbox/toolbox/toolbox:$VERSION \
--tools-file "/app/tools.yaml"ⓘ Note
The-vflag mounts your localtools.yamlinto the container, and-pmaps the container's port5000to your host's port5000.
To run the server directly from source, navigate to the project root directory and run:
go run .ⓘ Note
This command runs the project from source, and is more suitable for development and testing. It does not compile a binary into your$GOPATH. If you want to compile a binary instead, refer the Developer Documentation.
If you installed Toolbox using Homebrew, the toolbox
binary is available in your system path. You can start the server with the same
command:
toolbox --tools-file "tools.yaml"Interact with your custom tools using natural language. Check gemini-cli-extensions/mcp-toolbox for more information.
You can use toolbox help for a full list of flags! To stop the server, send a
terminate signal (ctrl+c on most platforms).

Versioning
This project uses semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH).
Since the project is in a pre-release stage (version 0.x.y), we follow the
standard conventions for initial development:
Pre-1.0.0 Versioning
While the major version is 0, the public API should be considered unstable.
The version will be incremented as follows:
0.MINOR.PATCH: The MINOR version is incremented when we add new functionality or make breaking, incompatible API changes.0.MINOR.PATCH: The PATCH version is incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes.
Post-1.0.0 Versioning
Once the project reaches a stable 1.0.0 release, the versioning will follow
the more common convention:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH: Incremented for incompatible API changes.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH: Incremented for new, backward-compatible functionality.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH: Incremented for backward-compatible bug fixes.
The public API that this applies to is the CLI associated with Toolbox, the
interactions with official SDKs, and the definitions in the tools.yaml file.
