## What it does

This plugin links GitHub Copilot to TimeBase, a database built for financial market data and time-series streams. It bundles MCP tools and skills for writing QQL queries, scaffolding TimeBase client code, handling WebAdmin tasks, and debugging database workflows.

Your environment requires `uv` with an available `uvx` executable in the path. Without `uvx`, the MCP server process cannot launch.

After installation, adjust connection settings in Copilot using `/mcp edit timebase-mcp`. You configure environment variables like the TimeBase connection URL there.

## Install

### GitHub Copilot (native platform)

**Command from the source**
```bash
copilot plugin install timebase@awesome-copilot
```

## When to use it
- write QQL queries for streaming market data
- generate client integration code for TimeBase instances
- troubleshoot connection and schema issues in WebAdmin
- configure TimeBase MCP parameters directly from the terminal

## Example prompts
- Write a QQL query to stream trade data for a symbol from TimeBase.
- Generate client code to connect to TimeBase and ingest market ticks.
- Diagnose connection issues with the TimeBase WebAdmin interface.
