Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

⚡ 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.

Getting Started

Installing the server

🚀 Enterprise-Friendly Installation Options - No Go compiler required!

Automatically downloads the correct binary for your platform:

# macOS, Linux, or Windows (WSL)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sethdford/genai-toolbox-enterprise/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

What this does:

  • Detects your OS and architecture automatically
  • Downloads the latest pre-built binary

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 --help

Running 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-reload flag.

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 -v flag mounts your local tools.yaml into the container, and -p maps the container's port 5000 to your host's port 5000.

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).

For more detailed documentation on deploying to different environments, see our Production Deployment Guide and AWS Integration Guide

🔷 Using Toolbox with Gemini CLI Extensions

Gemini CLI extensions provide tools to interact directly with your data sources from command line. Below is a list of Gemini CLI extensions that are built on top of Toolbox. They allow you to interact with your data sources through pre-defined or custom tools with natural language. Click into the link to see detailed instructions on their usage.

To use custom tools with Gemini CLI:

To use [prebuilt tools][prebuilt] with Gemini CLI:

Note: Gemini CLI extensions reference prebuilt tools from the original Google project. For Enterprise features (AWS, Honeycomb, Splunk, Tableau), see our integration guides.

Configuration

The primary way to configure Toolbox is through the tools.yaml file. If you have multiple files, you can tell toolbox which to load with the --tools-file tools.yaml flag.

You can find more detailed examples and reference documentation in our examples directory and integration guides.

Sources

The sources section of your tools.yaml defines what data sources your Toolbox should have access to. Most tools will have at least one source to execute against.

For more details on configuring different types of sources, see:

Tools

The tools section of a tools.yaml define the actions an agent can take: what kind of tool it is, which source(s) it affects, what parameters it uses, etc.

tools:
  search-hotels-by-name:
    kind: postgres-sql
    source: my-pg-source
    description: Search for hotels based on name.
    parameters:
      - name: name
        type: string
        description: The name of the hotel.
    statement: SELECT * FROM hotels WHERE name ILIKE '%' || $1 || '%';

For more details on configuring different types of tools, see our AWS Integration Guide for examples.

Toolsets

The toolsets section of your tools.yaml allows you to define groups of tools that you want to be able to load together. This can be useful for defining different groups based on agent or application.

toolsets:
    my_first_toolset:
        - my_first_tool
        - my_second_tool
    my_second_toolset:
        - my_second_tool
        - my_third_tool

You can load toolsets by name:

# This will load all tools
all_tools = client.load_toolset()

# This will only load the tools listed in 'my_second_toolset'
my_second_toolset = client.load_toolset("my_second_toolset")

Prompts

The prompts section of a tools.yaml defines prompts that can be used for interactions with LLMs.

prompts:
  code_review:
    description: "Asks the LLM to analyze code quality and suggest improvements."
    messages:
      - content: "Please review the following code for quality, correctness, and potential improvements: \n\n{{.code}}"
    arguments:
      - name: "code"
        description: "The code to review"

For more details on configuring prompts, see the examples in your tools.yaml configuration.

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.
