## Features
- 🌐 Fetch data by natural language through [XiYanSQL](https://github.com/XGenerationLab/XiYan-SQL)
- 🤖 Support general LLMs (GPT,qwenmax), Text-to-SQL SOTA model
- 💻 Support pure local mode (high security!)
- 🖱️ List available MySQL tables as resources
- 🔧 Read table contents
## Tool Preview
- The tool ``get_data`` provides a natural language interface for retrieving data from a database. This server will convert the input natural language into SQL using a built-in model and call the database to return the query results.
- The ``mysql://{table_name}`` resource allows obtaining a portion of sample data from the database for model reference when a specific table_name is specified.
- The ``mysql://`` resource will list the names of the current databases
## Installation
### Installing from pip
Python 3.11+ is required.
you can install the server through pip, and it will install the latest verion
```bash
pip install xiyan-mcp-server
```
After that you can directly run the server by:
```bash
python -m xiyan_mcp_server
```
But it does not provide any functions until you complete following config.
You will get a yml file. After that you can run the server by:
```yaml
env YML=path/to/yml python -m xiyan_mcp_server
```
### Installing from Smithery.ai
See [@XGenerationLab/xiyan_mcp_server](https://smithery.ai/server/@XGenerationLab/xiyan_mcp_server)
Not fully tested.
## Configuration
You need a yml config file to configure the server.
a default config file is provided in config_demo.yml which looks like this:
```yaml
model:
name: "XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-32B-2412"
key: ""
url: "https://api-inference.modelscope.cn/v1/"
database:
host: "localhost"
port: 3306
user: "root"
password: ""
database: ""
```
### LLM Configuration
``Name`` is the name of the model to use, ``key`` is the API key of the model, ``url`` is the API url of the model. We support following models.
| versions | general LLMs(GPT,qwenmax) | SOTA model by Modelscope | SOTA model by Dashscope | Local LLMs |
|----------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| description| basic, easy to use | best performance, stable, recommand | best performance, for trial | slow, high-security |
| name | the official model name (e.g. gpt-3.5-turbo,qwen-max) | XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-32B-2412 | xiyansql-qwencoder-32b | xiyansql-qwencoder-3b |
| key | the API key of the service provider (e.g. OpenAI, Alibaba Cloud) | the API key of modelscope | the API key via email | "" |
| url | the endpoint of the service provider (e.g."https://api.openai.com/v1") | https://api-inference.modelscope.cn/v1/ | https://xiyan-stream.biz.aliyun.com/service/api/xiyan-sql | http://localhost:5090 |
#### General LLMs
if you want to use the general LLMs, e.g. gpt3.5, you can directly config like this:
```yaml
model:
name: "gpt-3.5-turbo"
key: "YOUR KEY "
url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"
database:
```
if you want to use Qwen from alibaba, e.g. Qwen-max, you can use following config.
```yaml
model:
name: "qwen-max"
key: "YOUR KEY "
url: "https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1"
database:
```
#### Text-to-SQL SOTA model
We recommend the XiYanSQL-qwencoder-32B (https://github.com/XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder), which is the SOTA model in text-to-sql, see [Bird benchmark](https://bird-bench.github.io/).
There are two ways to use the model. You can use either of them.
(1) [Modelscope](https://www.modelscope.cn/models/XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-32B-2412), (2) Alibaba Cloud DashScope.
##### (1) Modelscope version
You need to apply a ``key`` of API-inference from Modelscope, https://www.modelscope.cn/docs/model-service/API-Inference/intro
Then you can use the following config:
```yaml
model:
name: "XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-32B-2412"
key: ""
url: "https://api-inference.modelscope.cn/v1/"
```
Read our [model description](https://www.modelscope.cn/models/XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-32B-2412) for more details.
##### (2) Dashscope version
We deployed the model on Alibaba Cloud DashScope, so you need to set the following environment variables:
Send me your email to get the ``key``. ( godot.lzl@alibaba-inc.com )
In the email, please attach the following information:
```yaml
name: "YOUR NAME",
email: "YOUR EMAIL",
organization: "your college or Company or Organization"
```
We will send you a ``key`` according to your email. And you can fill the ``key`` in the yml file.
The ``key`` will be expired by 1 month or 200 queries or other legal restrictions.
```yaml
model:
name: "xiyansql-qwencoder-32b"
key: "KEY"
url: "https://xiyan-stream.biz.aliyun.com/service/api/xiyan-sql"
database:
```
Note: this model service is just for trial, if you need to use it in production, please contact us.
Alternatively, you can also deploy the model [XiYanSQL-qwencoder-32B](https://github.com/XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder) on your own server.
#### Local Model
Note: local model is slow (about 12 seconds per query on my macbook).
If your need stable and fast service, we still recommend to use the modelscope version.
To run xiyan_mcp_server on local mode, you need
1) a PC/Mac with at least 16GB RAM
2) 6GB disk space
step1: Install additional python packages
```bash
pip install flask modelscope torch==2.2.2 accelerate>=0.26.0 numpy=2.2.3
```
step2: (optional) manully download the model
We recommand [xiyansql-qwencoder-3b](https://www.modelscope.cn/models/XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-3B-2502/).
You can manully download the model by
```bash
modelscope download --model XGenerationLab/XiYanSQL-QwenCoder-3B-2502
```
It will take you 6GB disk space.
step4: download the script and run server. src/xiyan_mcp_server/local_xiyan_server.py
```bash
python local_xiyan_server.py
```
The server will be running on http://localhost:5090/
step4: prepare config and run xiyan_mcp_server
the config.yml should be like:
```yml
model:
name: "xiyansql-qwencoder-3b"
key: "KEY"
url: "http://127.0.0.1:5090"
```
Til now the local mode is ready.
### Database Configuration
``host``, ``port``, ``user``, ``password``, ``database`` are the connection information of the MySQL database.
You can use local or any remote databases. Now we support MySQL (more dialects soon).
```yaml
database:
host: "localhost"
port: 3306
user: "root"
password: ""
database: ""
```
## Launch
### Claude desktop

"args": [
"-m",
"xiyan_mcp_server"
],
"env": {
"YML": "PATH/TO/YML"
}
}
}
}
```
### Cline
prepare the config like [Claude desktop](#claude-desktop)
### Goose
Add following command in the config, ref <a href="https://github.com/XGenerationLab/xiyan_mcp_server/blob/main/imgs/goose.jpg">goose config example</a>
```yaml
env YML=path/to/yml python -m xiyan_mcp_server
```
### Cursor
Use the same command like [Goose](#goose) .
### Witsy
Add following in command.
```yaml
python -m xiyan_mcp_server
```
Add an env: key is YML and value is the path to your yml file.
