Connect an AI agent

Wiki / Station

Station has an MCP server built in. Turn it on, copy the configuration into your agent, and the agent can read your local instance's schema and run Cypher against it, under a database user of its own.

Turn it on

Open the MCP view and press Start MCP while the local server runs. The MCP server listens on http://127.0.0.1:7688/mcp, beside the database.

• Start the MCP with the local server starts it whenever the instance starts.
• The agent signs in as the user mcp, which Station creates the first time with the reader role and a generated password kept in your credential store.
• Agents may write gives mcp the editor role instead, so agents can create and change data. Turn it off again and mcp goes back to reading.

Stopping the local server stops the MCP server too.

Connect a client

Connect a client has ready-made configuration to copy:

• Claude Code: a claude mcp add command to run in a terminal.
• MCP clients (HTTP): an mcpServers block for Claude Desktop and other clients that connect over HTTP.
• Standalone (stdio): the same instance through the separate galactus-db-mcp program, for clients that start their own server process. It connects to Station's database, so it works while Station is open.

The configuration holds a placeholder where the password goes. Tick Include the password in the config to copy it with the real one; keep that copy somewhere private.

See what agents do

Tools lists what an agent connected as mcp can call. Audit records every tool call, newest first: who called which tool, and when. The text of queries and their results are never recorded.
