About Steampipe MCP Server

Steampipe has a schema per connection, and creates a search_path that includes all the schemas, but public schema is typically empty. In additiona to that, Steampipe plugins for AWS, GCP and other clouds have a lot of tables, so just listing all of them is not practical. So, the recommended way to prompt your Claude Desktop would be to say something like this: "In steampipe using aws_all schema, give me a list of all ec2 instances". This way Claude will be more likely to use list_tables_in_schema in schema command, to limit the number of tables retrieved.

Tools (3)

  • list_all_tables

    Lists all available tables in all schemas in your database's search path.

  • list_tables_in_schema

    Lists all tables within a specific schema.

  • get_table_schema

    Retrieves column names and data types for a specific table, table should be in a format like schema.table.
