MCP Toolbox for Databases

Add Agnost AI analytics to Google’s MCP Toolbox for Databases

Prerequisites

• MCP Toolbox installed
• A tools.yaml configuration file for your toolbox setup

Installation

First, check the current version:

./toolbox version

Choose your preferred installation method:

Binary

export VERSION=0.28.0  # or your preferred version
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/genai-toolbox/v$VERSION/linux/amd64/toolbox
chmod +x toolbox

Docker

export VERSION=0.28.0  # or your preferred version
docker pull us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/database-toolbox/toolbox/toolbox:$VERSION

Homebrew

brew install mcp-toolbox

Enable Telemetry

Set your Agnost organization ID as an environment variable before running the server:

export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="X-Agnost-Org-ID=<your-agnost-org-id>"

Then run your MCP Toolbox with telemetry enabled and point it to Agnost AI:

./toolbox \
  --tools-file "tools.yaml" \
  --telemetry-otlp="otel.agnost.ai"

Replace <your-agnost-org-id> with your organization ID from your Agnost AI dashboard. You can set OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS in your shell profile or environment configuration so it persists across sessions.

Docker Usage

If using Docker:

docker run \
  -e OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="X-Agnost-Org-ID=<your-agnost-org-id>" \
  -v $(pwd)/tools.yaml:/app/tools.yaml \
  us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/database-toolbox/toolbox/toolbox:$VERSION \
  --tools-file "/app/tools.yaml" \
  --telemetry-otlp="otel.agnost.ai"

That’s It!

Your MCP Toolbox is now sending telemetry data to Agnost AI. Visit your Agnost AI dashboard to:

• Monitor tool invocations in real-time
• Track performance metrics and response times
• Analyze usage patterns and optimization opportunities
• Set up alerts for performance issues
