# Mako

Wires your agent into a Mako workspace so it can browse database schemas, test SQL, and build data apps from your queries.

## What it does

Mako is a browser-based SQL client, and its MCP server hands the same workspace to your agent. From there it can look through connected databases, run a query check before you execute it, and publish a data app.

The endpoint is `https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp` over HTTP. In Claude one line does it: `claude mcp add`. Codex takes `codex mcp add`. Cursor and GitHub Copilot get a JSON block in their own config.

Nothing works without a Mako account and databases already hooked up inside that account. The agent only sees the connections your workspace holds, so set those up first.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp`

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http mako https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp
```

### Codex

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
codex mcp add mako --url https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp
```

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mako": {
            "url": "https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "mako": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
gemini mcp add -t http mako https://app.mako.ai/api/mcp
```

## When to use it
- inspect a connected database schema without leaving the chat
- test SQL before running it against production data
- turn a finished query into a data app
- jump between databases set up in a Mako workspace

## Example prompts
- List the tables in my Mako workspace and find where orders live
- Check this SQL query for mistakes before I run it
- Build a data app charting monthly sales
