Use your Databutton app APIs as tools in other agents with MCP
What is databutton databutton app mcp
Databutton App MCP
Use API endpoints from your Databutton app as LLM tools from any MCP compatible client!
This is a simple proxy that runs locally and connects securely to your Databutton app using the MCP protocol over websockets.
To use it, make sure you have uv installed, see instructions here if not:
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/
First download an API key from the settings page of your Databutton app, and save it to a file.
Then configure your LLM client (e.g. Claude Desktop or Cursor), like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"myDatabuttonApp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"databutton-app-mcp@latest"
],
"env": {
"DATABUTTON_API_KEY": "YOUR-DATABUTTON-APP-KEY"
}
}
}
}
or this
{
"mcpServers": {
"myDatabuttonApp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"databutton-app-mcp@latest"
"-k",
"/path/to/apikey.txt"
]
}
}
}
Here /path/to/apikey.txt is the full path to a file containing the api key, or DATABUTTON_API_KEY is either the api key value or the path to a file containing it. You can download the API key for your Databutton app on the app settings page. Make sure to keep it secure and don't share it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
What are MCP Servers?
MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.
How do MCP Servers work?
MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.
Are MCP Servers secure?
Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
