Querywise MCP Overview

kosminus/querywise-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to SQLite, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and Databricks through a business semantic layer. It combines schema introspection with glossary terms, metrics, dictionaries, knowledge, and sample queries to ground database questions. Use get_semantic_context with run_sql for client-controlled read-only querying, or use server-side generate_sql and ask when an LLM provider is configured. It runs over stdio or Streamable HTTP and also provides a CLI backed by an embedded SQLite and sqlite-vec metadata store.
