Arangodb Async MCP Server

A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing advanced ArangoDB operations to AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Augment Code. Features async-first Python architecture, comprehensive graph management, flexible content conversion (JSON, Markdown, YAML, Table), backup/restore functionality, and analytics capabilities. Its 40 documented tools cover arango, graph, database, backup.

People connecting database tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Arangodb Async

before you install - you'll need

Set ARANGO_URL, ARANGO_DB, ARANGO_USERNAME, ARANGO_PASSWORD, ARANGO_ROOT_PASSWORD before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add pcfvw-mcp-arangodb-async -- uvx mcp-arangodb-async

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pcfvw-mcp-arangodb-async": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-arangodb-async"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

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 mcp-arangodb-async - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

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

With this server connected, an agent can set focused database for session, get currently focused database, list all configured databases, and list all collections.

How do I install Arangodb Async?

Run `uvx mcp-arangodb-async`. The README documents 5 environment variables (ARANGO_URL, ARANGO_DB, ARANGO_USERNAME…) to set first. Set ARANGO_URL, ARANGO_DB, ARANGO_USERNAME, ARANGO_PASSWORD, ARANGO_ROOT_PASSWORD before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Arangodb Async 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.
