datagrip-database-mcp

A DataGrip plugin that extends its built-in MCP server with 6 database tools. AI assistants like Claude Code can query databases through DataGrip's existing connections -- SSH tunnels, SSL, and auth included -- with zero extra config.

• DataGrip 2025.2+
• JDK 17+

./gradlew buildPlugin

The plugin zip is written to build/distributions/.

1. In DataGrip, go to Settings > Plugins.
2. Click the gear icon and select Install Plugin from Disk....
3. Select the zip from build/distributions/.
4. Restart DataGrip.

1. Enable the MCP server in DataGrip: Settings > Tools > MCP Server (requires DataGrip 2025.2+).
2. Datasources auto-connect on demand -- no manual connect step needed (passwords must be saved in DataGrip).
3. Configure Claude Code (or another MCP client) to use DataGrip's MCP server.

Option A: All tools (database + built-in IDE tools)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagrip": {
      "command": "/path/to/datagrip",
      "args": ["mcp", "stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Option B: Database tools only (recommended)

Add the following deny list to .claude/settings.local.json (or .claude/settings.json for team-wide config) to hide DataGrip's built-in IDE tools and keep only the 6 database tools:

{
  "permissions": {
    "deny": [
      "mcp__jetbrains__open_file_in_editor",
      "mcp__jetbrains__reformat_file",
      "mcp__jetbrains__execute_run_configuration",
      "mcp__jetbrains__get_run_configurations",
      "mcp__jetbrains__build_project",
      "mcp__jetbrains__get_file_problems",
      "mcp__jetbrains__get_project_dependencies",
      "mcp__jetbrains__get_project_modules",
      "mcp__jetbrains__create_new_file",
      "mcp__jetbrains__find_files_by_glob",
      "mcp__jetbrains__find_files_by_name_keyword",
      "mcp__jetbrains__get_all_open_file_paths",
      "mcp__jetbrains__list_directory_tree",
      "mcp__jetbrains__get_file_text_by
