MCP tools — 20 exposed · ~1,449 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
explain_sql_plus_plus_query ~88

Generate and evaluate an EXPLAIN plan for a SQL++ query. It provides information about the execution plan for the query. The EXPLAIN statement is run in the specified scope in the specified bucket. It returns query metadata along with an extracted plan and plan evaluation.

NameTypeReqDescription

get_cluster_health_and_services ~122

Get cluster health status and list of all running services. This tool provides health monitoring by: - Getting health status of all running services with latency information (via ping) - Listing all services running on the cluster with their endpoints - Showing connection status and node information for each service If bucket_name is provided, it actively pings services from the perspective of the bucket. Otherwise, it uses cluster-level ping to get the health status of the cluster. Returns: - Cluster health status with service-level connection details and latency measurements

get_index_advisor_recommendations ~169

Get index recommendations from Couchbase Index Advisor for a given SQL++ query. The Index Advisor analyzes the query and provides recommendations for optimal indexes. This tool works with SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE queries. The queries will be run on the specified scope in the specified bucket. Returns a dictionary with: - current_used_indexes: Array of currently used indexes (if any) - recommended_indexes: Array of recommended secondary indexes (if any) - recommended_covering_indexes: Array of recommended covering indexes (if any) Each index object contains: - index: The CREATE INDEX SQL++ command - statements: Array of statement objects with the query and run count

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

list_indexes ~205

List indexes in the cluster with optional filtering by bucket, scope, collection, and index name. Filters must be provided hierarchically: scope requires bucket, collection requires both, index requires all three. Set ``return_raw_index_stats=True`` to get the unprocessed source row for each index. Each result contains: name, definition (CREATE INDEX statement), status, isPrimary, bucket, scope, collection, lastScanTime. If a required field is missing, the entry contains warning and raw_index_stats instead. Source depends on cluster version: v8+ queries ``system:indexes`` via the query service (RBAC-scoped — the connected user sees only indexes on keyspaces they can access); older clusters fall back to the admin-level Index Service REST API ``/getIndexStatus``.

collection_name

NameTypeReqDescription
resultarrayyes

No examples provided.

run_sql_plus_plus_query ~162

Run a SQL++ query on a scope and return the results as a list of JSON objects. The query will be run on the specified scope in the specified bucket. The query should use collection names directly without bucket/scope prefixes, as the scope context is automatically set. Use ``named_parameters`` to bind values to ``$name`` placeholders in the query instead of concatenating user input into the statement. This prevents SQL++ injection Example: query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 18" # Incorrect: "SELECT * FROM bucket.scope.users WHERE age > 18"

No examples provided.

test_cluster_connection ~82

Test the connection to Couchbase cluster and optionally to a bucket. This tool verifies the connection to the Couchbase cluster and bucket by establishing the connection if it is not already established. If bucket name is not provided, it will not try to connect to the bucket specified in the MCP server settings. Returns connection status and basic cluster information.

NameTypeReqDescription
bucket_name

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
