SQL Server MCP Server by Insightful Pipe

Connect SQL Server to AI assistants: schemas, tables, T-SQL and database health for SQL Server and Azure SQL.

Part of the Insightful Pipe MCP Server Collection — use SQL Server from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

MCP Server URL

https://mssql.insightfulmcp.com/

What is SQL Server MCP?

SQL Server MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server hosted by InsightfulPipe. Browse schemas, inspect tables, and run T-SQL against your own Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL instance. Read vs. read-write is decided by the GRANT/REVOKE privileges on the login this connector uses.

Installation

Claude
  1. Copy the MCP Server URL: https://mssql.insightfulmcp.com/
  2. Open Claude Connectors Settings
  3. Scroll to the bottom and click Add custom connector
  4. Paste the URL and click Add
  5. Click Connect and sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked. Claude then lists the connector as connected.
ChatGPT

Custom MCP servers are added through ChatGPT's Developer mode. Availability depends on your ChatGPT plan, and workspace admins may need to allow it.

  1. Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT settings
  2. Create a new app for a remote MCP server and paste the URL: https://mssql.insightfulmcp.com/
  3. Sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked. The connection finishes as soon as you are signed in.

See OpenAI's guide: Developer mode and MCP apps in ChatGPT

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http mssql https://mssql.insightfulmcp.com/
Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mssql": {
      "url": "https://mssql.insightfulmcp.com/"
    }
  }
}

When Cursor shows Needs authentication, click Connect and sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked.

Control What Your AI Can Do

You decide what AI agents can do with each connected account:

  • Turn individual actions on or off for every connected account, so agents only see the actions you allow.
  • Connect as Read-only or Read & Write. A read-only connection can only enable read actions.
  • Destructive actions stay off by default. Actions such as deletes are disabled until an admin enables them.
  • Team access per account. Restricted team members only use the accounts they are granted, with the read actions enabled on them.

Usage Examples

"List the tables in the dbo schema"
"Show the schema of the Orders table"
"Check my database health"

Pricing
