Super MCP Server

A Lambda-deployable MCP server with embedded SuperDB for data querying.

Features

• Embedded SuperDB: No external dependencies, Super binary is embedded in the Go executable
• Lambda Ready: Runs in AWS Lambda with automatic binary extraction to /tmp
• Local Development: Also works as a local MCP server for testing with Claude Desktop
• Three Core Tools:
  • query_data: Execute SuperSQL queries on data files or URLs
  • list_files: List data files in directories
  • analyze_data: Analyze data structure and types

Setup

1. Download Super binary:

chmod +x scripts/setup.sh
./scripts/setup.sh

2. Build for local testing:

go mod tidy
go build -o super-mcp-server

3. Build for Lambda:

GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o bootstrap main.go
zip lambda-deployment.zip bootstrap

Local Usage

Configure Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "super-data": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/super-mcp-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Then restart Claude Desktop and you can ask questions like:

• "List the data files in my current directory"
• "Query my sample.json file and show the first 10 records"
• "Analyze the structure of this CSV file"

Lambda Deployment

1. Upload lambda-deployment.zip to AWS Lambda
2. Set runtime to "Provide your own bootstrap on Amazon Linux 2"
3. Set handler to "bootstrap"
4. Increase timeout (recommend 30+ seconds for large queries)
5. Increase memory (recommend 512MB+ for better performance)

Example Queries

Once connected to Claude Desktop, you can ask:

Basic Queries

• "What data files do I have in my current directory?"
• "Show me the first 5 records from data.json"
• "Count the rows in my CSV file"

Advanced Analytics

• "Find the top 10 users by activity in my logs"
• "Group sales data by month and show totals"
• "Analyze the data types in my JSON file"

URL Data Sources

• "Query this API endpoint and show me the structure: https://api.example.com/data.json"
• "Download and analyze data from this URL"

SuperSQL Language

The server uses SuperDB's SuperSQL dialect, which extends SQL with:

• Pipe syntax: SELECT * FROM data.json | WHERE age > 25 | GROUP BY department
• JSON native: No need for special JSON functions
• Schema-less: Works with heterogeneous data
• Rich types: Supports complex nested data structures

Technical Notes

• The Super binary is embedded at compile time (~15-20MB)
• In Lambda, the binary is extracted to /tmp on first invocation
• Supports data from files, URLs, S3 paths (if Lambda has permissions)
• Works with JSON, CSV, Parquet, NDJSON, and many other formats
• Container reuse means binary extraction only happens once per container lifecycle

Troubleshooting

"Super binary not found" error

• Make sure you ran ./scripts/setup.sh before building
• Check that binaries/super-linux-amd64 exists and is executable

Claude Desktop connection issues

• Use absolute paths in the configuration
• Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes
• Check that the binary is executable: chmod +x super-mcp-server

Lambda timeout errors

• Increase Lambda timeout for large data processing
• Consider using Lambda layers for very large deployments
• Monitor CloudWatch logs for specific error messages
