SQL Server MCP Server for Windsurf IDE

A standalone MCP (Model Context Protocol) server written in C# that provides SQL Server integration capabilities as an addon to Windsurf IDE.

Features

  • SQL Server connectivity
  • Database schema exploration
  • Table and view inspection
  • Column metadata retrieval
  • Stored procedure enumeration
  • SQL query execution
  • Stored procedure execution
  • Debug mode for troubleshooting
  • Configurable logging path

Prerequisites

  • .NET 9.0 SDK or higher
  • SQL Server instance (local or remote)
  • SQL Server client tools

Setup

  1. Build the project:
  1. Configure the application: - Copy `appsettings.example.json` to `appsettings.json` - Update the connection string and other settings in `appsettings.json` with your SQL Server details ```json { "ConnectionStrings": { "DefaultConnection": "Server=your-server;Database=master;User ID=your-username;Password=your-password;TrustServerCertificate=True" }, "LogPath": "C:\\Path\\To\\Your\\LogDirectory\\", "DebugMode": "false" } ```
  1. Configure the MCP server in Windsurf: - Copy the contents of `windsurf_mcp_config.json` to your Windsurf MCP configuration file (typically located at `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`) - Update the path to point to your built executable: ```json { "mcpServers": { "sqlMcpService": { "command": "path/to/your/MCPSqlServer.exe", "args": [], "description": "SQL Server MCP Service" } } } ```
  1. Set up GitHub integration: - Create a new GitHub repository for your project - Initialize a new Git repository in your project directory using `git init` - Add your GitHub repository as a remote using `git remote add origin <repository-url>` - Push your changes to the remote repository using `git push -u origin master`

Configuration Options

The `appsettings.json` file contains the following configuration options:
  • `ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection`: The SQL Server connection string
  • `LogPath`: Directory where log files will be stored
  • `DebugMode`: Set to "true" to enable detailed debug logging

Publishing

You can publish the application as a self-contained executable:
This will create a single executable file that includes all dependencies.

Protocol

The MCP server communicates through standard input/output using a JSON-based protocol.

Request Format

  1. Generate SQL code snippets
  1. Analyze database structures

Code Structure

The application is organized into the following components:
  • `Program.cs`: Main entry point and request handling
  • `JsonRpcHandler.cs`: Handles JSON-RPC protocol and dispatches requests
  • Configuration is loaded from `appsettings.json`
  • Logs are written to files specified by the `LogPath` setting
