Overview

What is Introduction?

Introduction is a generic ODBC server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that provides Large Language Models with transparent access to ODBC-accessible data sources via a Data Source Name (DSN) configured for a specific ODBC Connector. It is built as a small TypeScript layer on top of node-odbc and routes calls to the host system's local ODBC Driver Manager.

How to use Introduction?

Install Node.js v21.1.0 or higher, clone the repository, and run npm install to install dependencies (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod, tsx, odbc, dotenv). Set environment variables (ODBC_DSN, ODBC_USER, ODBC_PASSWORD, ODBCINI, optionally API_KEY) in a .env file. Use the MCP Inspector tool or an MCP client to connect and invoke tools such as query_database, get_schemas, or sparql_query.
