Mako MCP Server

The AI-native SQL Client. Stop wrestling with complex SQL and slow, bloated database tools. Write queries in plain English, get instant results, and turn them into interactive dashboards with cross-filtering and scheduled refresh. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with Dashboard and Gcs and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Mako

before you install - you'll need

Set DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_STORE, DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX, DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_DIR, GCS_DASHBOARD_BUCKET, DATABASE_URL, ENCRYPTION_KEY, WEB_API_PORT, BASE_URL, CLIENT_URL before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add mako-ai-mako --transport http https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mako-ai-mako": {
      "url": "https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 remote - your agent's requests go to app.mako.ai

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

registry namespace io.github.mako-ai is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Mako FAQ

What is Mako?

Is Mako still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-09-17 and it shipped 4 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Mako?

Run `claude mcp add mako-ai-mako --transport http https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp`. The README documents 9 environment variables (DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_STORE, DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX, DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_DIR…) to set first. Set DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_STORE, DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX, DASHBOARD_ARTIFACT_DIR, GCS_DASHBOARD_BUCKET, DATABASE_URL, ENCRYPTION_KEY, WEB_API_PORT, BASE_URL, CLIENT_URL before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Mako require authentication?

Yes - when we probed the endpoint on 2026-09-18, it rejected an unauthenticated MCP initialize; you'll need credentials to connect.
