AI tools & MCP

Team Edition comes with a set of built-in AI tools and can connect to external MCP servers, allowing the AI Assistant to act on your databases instead of only answering with text. Describe what you need in AI chat or an ai command, and the assistant reads the metadata or opens the editor for you.

Built-in tools ship with Team Edition. To add more, connect an MCP server - its tools appear in the same list.

Info

You can find more information about Model Context Protocol (MCP) here.

Enable AI tools

  1. Navigate to Settings -> Administration -> Server Configuration
  2. Enable the AI Integration option

Tools work in AI chat and through the ai command.

Note

If tools are disabled, the assistant falls back to standard text responses.

Supported providers

AI tools are available only with providers that support tool calling:

Info

If your provider doesn’t support tool calling, AI Assistant will continue to respond with text or SQL suggestions as usual. Make sure the model you select supports tool calling.
