gives the
uvxcommand the server starts with. - Your own value for
YOUR_SQL_STEWARD_DB_URL.

project; put
--scope userafterclaude mcp addto have it in every project.
claude mcp add --env SQL_STEWARD_DB_URL=YOUR_SQL_STEWARD_DB_URL --transport stdio sql-steward -- uvx sql-steward==0.4.0 - Replace
YOUR_SQL_STEWARD_DB_URLwith your own value. - Start Claude Code and type
/mcp: the server is listed with its state.
Check it worked
Ask Claude Code: List the tools of sql-steward.
If it does not start
- spawn uvx ENOENT
- uv is not on the PATH that Claude Code sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
