About Redshift Utils MCP

It bridges the gap between Large Language Models (LLMs) or AI assistants (like those in Claude, Cursor, or custom applications) and your Redshift data warehouse, enabling secure, standardized data access and interaction. This allows users to query data, understand database structure, and monitoring/diagnostic operations using natural language or AI-driven prompts.

Features

  • Secure Redshift Connection (via Data API): Connects to your Amazon Redshift cluster using the AWS Redshift Data API via Boto3, leveraging AWS Secrets Manager for credentials managed securely via…

  • Schema Discovery: Exposes MCP resources for listing schemas and tables within a specified schema.

  • Metadata & Statistics: Provides a tool (handle_inspect_table) to gather detailed table metadata, statistics (like size, row counts, skew, stats staleness), and maintenance status.

  • Read-Only Query Execution: Offers a secure MCP tool (handle_execute_ad_hoc_query) to execute arbitrary SELECT queries against the Redshift database, enabling data retrieval based on LLM requests.

  • Query Performance Analysis: Includes a tool (handle_diagnose_query_performance) to retrieve and analyze the execution plan, metrics, and historical data for a specific query ID.

  • Table Inspection: Provides a tool (handle_inspect_table) to perform a comprehensive inspection of a table, including design, storage, health, and usage.

  • Cluster Health Check: Offers a tool (handle_check_cluster_health) to perform a basic or full health assessment of the cluster using various diagnostic queries.

  • Lock Diagnosis: Provides a tool (handle_diagnose_locks) to identify and report on current lock contention and blocking sessions.

  • Workload Monitoring: Includes a tool (handle_monitor_workload) to analyze cluster workload patterns over a time window, covering WLM, top queries, and resource usage.

  • DDL Retrieval: Offers a tool (handle_get_table_definition) to retrieve the SHOW TABLE output (DDL) for a specified table.

Tools (7)

  • handle_check_cluster_health

    Performs a health assessment of the Redshift cluster using a set of diagnostic SQL scripts.

  • handle_diagnose_locks

    Identifies active lock contention and blocking sessions in the cluster.

  • handle_diagnose_query_performance

    Analyzes a specific query's execution performance, including plan, metrics, and historical data.

  • handle_execute_ad_hoc_query

    Executes an arbitrary SQL query provided by the user via Redshift Data API.

  • handle_get_table_definition

    Retrieves the DDL (Data Definition Language) statement (SHOW TABLE) for a specific table.

  • handle_inspect_table

    Retrieves detailed information about a specific Redshift table, covering design, storage, health, and usage.

  • handle_monitor_workload

    Analyzes cluster workload patterns over a specified time window using various diagnostic scripts.
