What is MotherDuck MCP?

The MotherDuck MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects MotherDuck to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with MotherDuck (duckdb-powered cloud data warehouse — run sql queries and analytics) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses a bearer token, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the MotherDuck tools become available to the model.
