Connect your data to Claude

Use Claude to query your databases, explore schemas, and build analyses — all from one conversation.

What Claude can do with Sequel

Ask anything about your data

Claude understands natural language. Just describe what you want to know — "Show me revenue by region for Q1" — and Sequel fetches the data, runs the query, and Claude explains the results in context.

Multi-source analysis in one conversation

Sequel connects to databases, analytics platforms, and SaaS tools. Ask Claude to join your Postgres revenue data with Google Analytics sessions in a single thread — no SQL required.

Python workbench inside the chat

Need a chart or statistical analysis? Claude can run Python code in Sequel's isolated sandbox — pandas, matplotlib, seaborn all included — and return the result directly in your conversation.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask Claude about your data.

Ask in plain English. Sequel turns it into a query, runs it read-only, and Claude hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

Setup

Add Sequel to Claude

    "sequel": {
      "url": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",

      }
    }
  }
}

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Claude Desktop and Claude.ai?

The JSON config above works with Claude Desktop (Mac and Windows). Claude.ai supports MCP through Workspaces — go to Settings → Integrations to add the Sequel MCP URL there.

What databases can Claude query through Sequel?

Any database or analytics tool you've connected in Sequel: PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, BigQuery, Snowflake, Google Analytics, and more. Claude can only access connections your organization has set up.

Is my database data sent to Anthropic?

Query results are passed to Claude as context within your conversation. Anthropic's standard data handling policies apply. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Can I limit which connections Claude can see?

Sequel MCP is scoped to your organization's connections. You can create separate API keys for different use cases and revoke them at any time from Settings → API Keys.

Does it work with Claude Code (the CLI)?

Yes. Run: claude mcp add --scope user --transport http sequel https://api.sequel.sh/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer sql_your_api_key'. The --scope user flag makes Sequel available in every Claude Code session on your machine.
