U2 MCP Server
Connect Claude to your Universe/UniData database using natural language. u2-mcp is an MCP server that lets AI assistants like Claude query and interact with Rocket Universe and UniData MultiValue databases. Ask questions in plain English and get real answers from your data. Its 21 documented tools cover knowledge, record, file. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting database tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install U2 MCP Server
before you install - you'll need
Set U2_HOST, U2_USER, U2_PASSWORD, U2_ACCOUNT, U2_KNOWLEDGE_PATH, U2_SERVICE, U2_HTTP_HOST, U2_HTTP_PORT, U2_AUTH_ENABLED, U2_AUTH_ISSUER_URL, U2_IDP_PROVIDER, U2_IDP_DISCOVERY_URL before connecting.
Claude Code
claude mcp add bpamiri-u2-mcp -- uvx u2-mcp Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"bpamiri-u2-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"u2-mcp"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository
pypi package u2-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.bpamiri is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

With this server connected, an agent can close connections, list available files in the account, read a single record by ID, and read multiple records.
How do I install U2 MCP Server?
Run `uvx u2-mcp`. The README documents 12 environment variables (U2_HOST, U2_USER, U2_PASSWORD…) to set first. Set U2_HOST, U2_USER, U2_PASSWORD, U2_ACCOUNT, U2_KNOWLEDGE_PATH, U2_SERVICE, U2_HTTP_HOST, U2_HTTP_PORT, U2_AUTH_ENABLED, U2_AUTH_ISSUER_URL, U2_IDP_PROVIDER, U2_IDP_DISCOVERY_URL before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does U2 MCP Server run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
