Lintbase Mcp

What is Lintbase Mcp?

Lintbase Mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf) real-time knowledge of your database schema, security rules, and architecture. It connects to Firestore or MongoDB, reads live documents, and generates structured context so agents stop hallucinating your codebase.

How to use Lintbase Mcp?

Install the MCP server via npx lintbase-mcp and add it to your AI tool’s config (e.g., .cursor/mcp.json). Once running, the AI agent automatically queries your live database schema before writing code. For standalone use, run CLI commands like npx lintbase scan firestore --key ./service-account.json or npx lintbase export-context firestore --key ./service-account.json.

Key features of Lintbase Mcp

• Provides real-time database schema context to AI agents
• Detects security issues like missing auth or exposed PII
• Catches schema drift and type inconsistencies
• Highlights cost risks (large collections, unbounded queries)
• Exports structured context for Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf
• CI pipeline integration with snapshot and check commands

Use cases of Lintbase Mcp

• Prevents AI agents from writing queries with wrong field names
• Blocks deployments that introduce schema drift via CI checks
• Exports a lintbase-context folder for manual inclusion in AI tool context windows
• Scans live databases for security, cost, and performance issues
• Tracks database health over time with an optional dashboard

FAQ from Lintbase Mcp

What databases does Lintbase Mcp support?

It supports Firestore and MongoDB. For Firestore use --key ./service-account.json, for MongoDB use --uri <connection-string>.

How does Lintbase Mcp handle security?

Your service account key never leaves your machine—it is only read locally. The --save flag sends only scan summaries and issue lists, never raw document data.

What are the limits on document sampling?

By default, Lintbase samples up to 100 documents per collection. You can adjust this with the --limit option.

Is Lintbase Mcp free?

The CLI tool is free forever. The optional dashboard (Lintbase Pro) costs $39/month for unlimited history, interactive schema maps, and team workflows.

How do I integrate Lintbase Mcp with my AI tool?

Add the following to your .cursor/mcp.json (or equivalent for other tools):

{ "mcpServers": { "lintbase": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "lintbase-mcp"] } } }
