Infrawise — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Supplies cloud topology, database schemas, and queue configurations directly to AI assistants. Stops costly scans and broken queries before you ship code.
claude mcp add infrawise -- npx -y infrawiseWhat Infrawise does
Infrawise scans source files, cloud setups, and database layouts to feed deterministic context into your editor. Assistants frequently invent schema details when reading application code in isolation. With this server running, the model inspects real partition keys, secondary indexes, and queue configurations before suggesting data access patterns.
Running this tool requires Node.js 22 or newer. Older runtime versions will crash immediately. The first run inspects your environment and writes an infrawise.yaml file, caching the infrastructure graph for 24 hours. When editing code, the server keeps project metadata in memory and processes only changed files, batching rapid saves across two-second intervals.
What it helps with
- prevent unindexed table scans on large DynamoDB tables
- spot missing column indexes before writing relational queries
- verify partition keys and sorting logic across cloud databases
- detect concentrated access patterns creating hot partition risks
Example prompts for the agent
- Check whether my proposed query causes an unindexed scan on the Orders table.
- Show missing indexes for the email column in the users table.
- Inspect which backend functions read from our configured SQS queues.

Questions about Infrawise
How do I install Infrawise in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add infrawise -- npx -y infrawise in your terminal. You can also run npx infrawise start --claude in your project folder to generate the initial infrawise.yaml configuration.
What does Infrawise do?
It exposes your actual cloud configuration and database schemas through 22 MCP tools. The assistant references real infrastructure limits instead of guessing them from partial source code.
What runtime requirements does Infrawise have?
The tool strictly requires Node.js 22 or later. You can verify your current runtime by running node --version.
