How it works

metatool set, which starts small to save context. The assistant searches by keyword ("bloat", "locks") or category and gets the matching tools.
Parameters
categorystring- Restrict to a tool category: "query", "dba", "meta", or "write".
querystring- Free-text keyword to search tool names/descriptions, e.g. "locks" or "bloat".
What your assistant reads
The description nexql-mcp sends with the tool. It's how the assistant decides when to use it.
Dynamically discover and inspect specialized MCP database tools by keyword query (e.g., 'locks', 'bloat', 'index') or category ('query', 'dba', 'write'). Use this when you need specialized tools beyond the core surface.
