This page routes common tasks to the maintained product documentation. The Wiki does not duplicate the full tutorials because copied procedures become stale independently of the product docs.

Common tasks

MCP and CLI are different surfaces

• MCP is a protocol endpoint through which the Chat2DB runtime exposes tools to agents.
• The chat2db CLI is a separate command-line program for client lifecycle, MCP, datasource, and SQL workflows.
• The current CLI accepts pro and local as client selections. It does not accept community.
• Community provides MCP capabilities, but MCP support does not imply that a Community CLI client has been released.
