Install to Claude Code

Summary

Ephemeral data sandbox for AI workflows with guardrails and security

Connect from your MCP client

One-click install

Add this server to your editor with a single click. Fill in any required credentials afterward.

Claude Code

Run this once and Claude Code registers the server for you:

claude mcp add spotdb -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json under Settings → Developer → Edit Config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotdb": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X-API-Key": "<X-API-Key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add this to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotdb": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X-API-Key": "<X-API-Key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline and other MCP clients

Most MCP clients accept the standard mcpServers JSON block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spotdb": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"
      ],
      "env": {
        "X-API-Key": "<X-API-Key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Register the server with OpenAI's Codex CLI — run this once, or add the equivalent block to ~/.codex/config.toml:

codex mcp add spotdb --env X-API-Key=<X-API-Key> -- docker run -i --rm docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0

# or add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.spotdb]
command = "docker"
args = ["run", "-i", "--rm", "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"]
[mcp_servers.spotdb.env]
X-API-Key = "<X-API-Key>"

OpenClaw

OpenClaw reads MCP servers from the mcp.servers section of ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (managed via `openclaw mcp add` or the mcporter skill):

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "spotdb": {
        "command": "docker",
        "args": [
          "run",
          "-i",
          "--rm",
          "docker.io/aliengiraffe/spotdb:0.1.0"
        ],
        "env": {
          "X-API-Key": "<X-API-Key>"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

SpotDB

![Quality Gate Status](https://sonarcloud.io/summary/new_code?id=aliengiraffe_env)

Lightweight data sandbox for AI workflows and data exploration, enabled with guardrails and security to keep your data safe.

This project provides a lightweight, ephemeral data sandbox designed for large language models (LLMs) and agentic workflows. By providing a secure, isolated environment, it allows AI agents and scripts to analyze data without direct access to production databases. This setup prevents accidental data modification, ensures data privacy, and enforces guardrails for safe data exploration.

Features

  • 🏖️ Ephemeral Data Sandbox: Create temporary databases for AI workflows and data exploration.
  • 📸 Snapshot: Capture and store data snapshots, recover point-in-time data states or continue from a previous state.
  • 🧠 MCP API: Access data through a Model Context Protocol for seamless integration with AI models and agentic workflows.
  • ⚙️ REST API: Access data through a RESTful API for integration with traditional systems and workflows.
  • 🚂 Guardrails: Enforce rules and constraints to ensure data safety and privacy.
  • 🛡️ Security: Protect data from unauthorized access and modification.

Quick Start

  1. Tap the repository and install the package:
brew tap aliengiraffe/spaceship && \\
brew install spotdb
  1. Start the server:
spotdb
  1. Upload a CSV file:
curl -X POST \
  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/upload \
  -F "table_name=mytable" \
  -F "has_header=true" \
  -F "csv_file=@data.csv"
  1. Query the data:
curl -X POST \
  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/query \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "SELECT * FROM mytable LIMIT 10"}'
  1. Setup Claude Code

You must have the claude command installed.

Then, you can add the spotdb mcp:

claude mcp add spotdb -s user -- npx -y mcp-remote http://localhost:8081/stream

Use Explorer UI

Open the Explorer UI in your browser and upload files and query the data:

open http://localhost:8080/explorer
