MS SQL Server MCP
Connect Claude to your Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL database with one secure URL. No local MCP server to configure, no .env files, no setup per device. Synra manages the connection — encrypted, read-only, and logged.
✓ Works with any SQL Server host · ✓ Read-only by default · ✓ Free to try
Compatibility
Works with any SQL Server host
Any Microsoft SQL Server-compatible database works. If you have a connection string, Synra can connect.
How it works
Four steps. Under a minute.
Get your SQL Server credentials
Server name, port, database, username, and password — from Azure SQL, AWS RDS, or your on-prem SQL Server instance.
Add to Synra
Paste your credentials into the Synra dashboard. We encrypt everything with AES-256 and generate your MCP endpoint URL.
Copy your URL
One secure URL that works everywhere — Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, or any MCP-compatible client.
https://app.mcpserver.design/api/mcp/...Start querying
Ask Claude anything about your SQL Server database in plain English. Tables, schemas, queries — all read-only, all logged.

FAQ
SQL Server MCP FAQ
What is a SQL Server MCP server?
A SQL Server MCP server connects AI assistants like Claude to your Microsoft SQL Server database using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It translates natural language questions into T-SQL queries and returns results. Synra is a managed SQL Server MCP — instead of configuring a local server, you get a single secure URL that works on any device.
Does Synra work with Azure SQL?
Yes. Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance are both fully supported. You provide your Azure SQL connection string and Synra handles the rest. Encryption, read-only access, and audit logging all work the same way.
What about AWS RDS for SQL Server?
Yes. AWS RDS for SQL Server is supported across all editions (Express, Web, Standard, Enterprise). You'll need to allow Synra's IPs through your RDS security group, then paste the connection details into the Synra dashboard.
Does this work with on-prem SQL Server?
Yes — as long as your SQL Server instance is reachable from the internet on its port (typically 1433) or through a tunnel. For air-gapped environments, contact us about self-hosted options.
Can Claude run stored procedures?
Synra enforces read-only access by default, which means SELECT queries only. Stored procedures that perform writes are blocked. Read-only stored procedures may be supported in a future update — let us know if this is a priority for you.
Can Claude modify my SQL Server database?
No. Synra blocks INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, ALTER, MERGE, TRUNCATE, and other write operations at the gateway level before they reach your database. Read-only by default, always.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Sign up and test your SQL Server connection for free. Subscribe when you're ready for full access.
