Overview

What is Trino MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lists and queries tables via Trino using Python. It provides Trino tables as MCP resources, allows reading their contents, and includes a tool for executing arbitrary SQL queries against Trino. Designed for AI models that need to interact with Trino’s fast, distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics.

How to use Trino MCP Server?

Configure connection via environment variables (TRINO_HOST, TRINO_PORT, TRINO_USER, TRINO_PASSWORD, TRINO_CATALOG, TRINO_SCHEMA), then add the server to your MCP client configuration using uv as the command. The server reads these variables at startup and connects to the specified Trino host, catalog, and schema.
