Connect Cassandra to VS Code

Enable VS Code to access your Cassandra data through secure, governed MCP servers—no manual queries or engineering bottlenecks

How it works

1. Connect your database

Provide your Cassandra connection details. We'll securely connect to your data source.

2. Define your MCP tools

Configure the tools and data available to your AI agents.

3. Deploy your MCP server

We convert your config into a production-ready MCP server with enterprise governance.

How to connect

Connect your Cassandra database

  • Cluster hosts: One or more Cassandra cluster node addresses
  • Keyspace and protocol version: Target keyspace and CQL protocol version for connections
  • Authentication credentials: Username and password for cluster authentication
  • TLS/SSL configuration: Optional CA certificate and client certificates for secure connections
  • Host verification: Optional SSL host verification for enhanced security
  • Automatic deployment: We deploy your MCP server with enterprise governance—no manual setup required

Link your PostgreSQL MCP to VS Code

  • 1.Open VS Code and run the MCP: Add Server command
  • 2.Select 'Global' to configure across all workspaces
  • 3.Add your MintMCP Gateway server URL (HTTP/SSE transport)
  • 4.Configure authentication headers with your credentials
  • 5.Access PostgreSQL data through GitHub Copilot Chat

Other supported AI clients

One-time setup connects Cassandra to all your AI tools

What you get

Faster deployment

Define your Cassandra connection once, then add more MCP tools as needed through simple config updates. No code required.

Rapid iteration

Build team or use-case specific tools rapidly by adding new queries and parameters to your config. Deploy updates in minutes, not days.

Enterprise governance

All database access goes through MintMCP Gateway with full observability, authentication, rate limiting, and audit trails.

Why MintMCP gateway

Centralized governance

Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for all database MCP connections.

One-click deployment

Instantly enable database MCP for AI teams via MintMCP's standardized gateway without manual server setup.

OAuth + SSO enforcement

Automatic enterprise authentication wrapping for database MCP endpoints.

Host stdio servers on MintMCP instead of running locally

Containerized servers become accessible to clients like ChatGPT without local installations. Better risk management and security posture without requiring users to run servers on their machines.

Observability and control

Real-time dashboards for monitoring usage, detecting anomalies, and maintaining SLA compliance.

Enterprise hardening

High availability, security, and compliance alignment transform MCP from developer utility to production-grade infrastructure.

Supports shared and per-user auth

Flexibility to configure service accounts at the admin level or enable individual OAuth flows. Secrets remain protected while users gain access, with centralized revocation capabilities.

Granular tool access control

Configure tool access by role. For example, enable read-only operations and exclude write tools like create and delete.

Use cases

Streaming analytics and user behavior

Enable product teams to investigate viewing patterns, user preferences, and content performance through natural language—AI agents query globally distributed user activity data without learning CQL or understanding partition keys.

E-commerce order and inventory analysis

Let operations teams analyze purchase patterns, cart abandonment, and inventory levels by asking questions in natural language—AI agents access distributed e-commerce data across regions without manual queries.

Telecommunications network monitoring

Enable network engineers to investigate call quality, service disruptions, and IoT device health through conversational queries—AI agents analyze millions of distributed records without complex Cassandra data modeling knowledge.

FAQs

Yes. MintMCP Gateway is SOC 2 compliant and uses OAuth-based authentication for all database MCP interactions.
