The GraphDB MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server designed to provide read-only access to Ontotext GraphDB. It enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to explore RDF graphs and execute SPARQL queries against a GraphDB instance. This server is particularly useful for integrating GraphDB with AI tools like Claude for advanced querying and data exploration.
query
(string): The SPARQL query to execute.graph
(string, optional): Specific graph IRI to target.format
(string, optional): Response format (json, xml, csv).The server provides multiple views of the repository data:
You can configure the server using environment variables by creating a .env
file:
GRAPHDB_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:7200
GRAPHDB_REPOSITORY=myRepository
GRAPHDB_USERNAME=username
GRAPHDB_PASSWORD=password
Alternatively, you can provide the endpoint and repository as command-line arguments:
node dist/index.js http://localhost:7200 myRepository
The command-line arguments take precedence over environment variables.
To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your claude_desktop_config.json
:
{
"mcpServers": {
"graphdb": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/mcp-server-graphdb/dist/index.js"
],
"env": {
"GRAPHDB_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:7200",
"GRAPHDB_REPOSITORY": "myRepository",
"GRAPHDB_USERNAME": "username",
"GRAPHDB_PASSWORD": "password"
}
}
}
}
Replace the values with your specific GraphDB configuration.
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourname/mcp-server-graphdb.git
cd mcp-server-graphdb
# Install dependencies
yarn install
# Build the project
yarn build
Here are some example SPARQL queries you can run with this server:
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
SELECT DISTINCT ?class ?label
WHERE {
{ ?class a rdfs:Class } UNION { ?class a owl:Class }
OPTIONAL { ?class rdfs:label ?label }
}
ORDER BY ?class
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#>
SELECT ?property ?label ?range
WHERE {
?property rdfs:domain <http://example.org/YourClass> .
OPTIONAL { ?property rdfs:label ?label }
OPTIONAL { ?property rdfs:range ?range }
}
ORDER BY ?property
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
SELECT ?class (COUNT(?instance) AS ?count)
WHERE {
?instance a ?class
}
GROUP BY ?class
ORDER BY DESC(?count)
