Tiger CLI MCP Server
Tiger Cloud database service management and querying via AI-integrated tools.
Data last scanned today · Reviewed today
Overview
Tiger CLI provides an interface to manage and query database services directly from the command line. It includes integrated support for the Model Context Protocol, allowing AI assistants to interface with Tiger Cloud infrastructure. Users can authenticate with their account, list active projects, and perform service lifecycle management operations. The tool supports tasks ranging from database creation and URI retrieval to executing queries directly through the CLI or an MCP-compliant assistant.
Our verdict
This server carries a high risk level with a security score of 45/100. Because the authentication method has not yet been reviewed and the read-only mode status is currently unverified, users should exercise caution when integrating it into their workflows. It is best suited for experienced developers working in non-sensitive environments who are comfortable managing the risks of community-maintained tools.
- Zero direct dependencies reduce the supply-chain attack surface.
- Active development evidenced by a commit within the last day.
- Licensed under Apache-2.0 for flexible usage.
- Built with 16 contributors to help mitigate bus-factor risk.
- Authentication method has not undergone security review.
- Read-only mode capability is currently unreviewed.
- Not maintained directly by the official vendor.

Frequently asked questions
›Do I need to install the Tiger CLI separately to use the MCP server?
Yes, the MCP server is an integrated feature of the Tiger CLI, which must be installed and authenticated with your Tiger Cloud account first.
›How do I configure the MCP server for my specific AI assistant?
You can use the tiger mcp install command followed by your client name, such as claude-code, cursor, or vscode, to perform the setup.
›Can I upgrade the Tiger CLI using the built-in upgrade command if I installed it via Homebrew?
If you installed via a package manager like Homebrew, the tiger upgrade command will instruct you to use the appropriate package-manager command instead of performing an in-place binary replacement.
›What authentication is required for the MCP server to function?
You must be logged in to your Tiger account using tiger auth login before the MCP server can access your database services and operations.
