corebasehq/coremcp

Overview

CoreMCP is an open-source bridge written in Go that connects legacy databases to AI agents using the Model Context Protocol. It enables LLMs to perform data analysis on existing database systems without migration. The tool acts as a middleware translating database queries into MCP-compatible interactions.
