MCP Toolbox for Databases Simplifies AI Agent Data Access

AI Agent Access to Enterprise Data Made Easy with MCP Toolbox for Databases

Google Cloud Next 25 showed organisations how to develop multi-agent ecosystems using Vertex AI and Google Cloud Databases. Agent2Agent Protocol and Model Context Protocol increase agent interactions. Due to developer interest in MCP, we're offering MCP Toolbox for Databases (formerly Gen AI Toolbox for Databases) easy to access your company data in databases. This advances standardised and safe agentic application experimentation.

Previous names: Gen AI Toolbox for Databases, MCP Toolbox

Developers may securely and easily interface new AI agents to business data using MCP Toolbox for Databases (Toolbox), an open-source MCP server. Anthropic created MCP, an open standard that links AI systems to data sources without specific integrations.

Toolbox can now generate tools for self-managed MySQL and PostgreSQL, Spanner, Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, Cloud SQL for MySQL, and AlloyDB for PostgreSQL (with Omni). As an open-source project, it uses Neo4j and Dgraph. Toolbox integrates OpenTelemetry for end-to-end observability, OAuth2 and OIDC for security, and reduced boilerplate code for simpler development. This simplifies, speeds up, and secures tool creation by managing connection pooling, authentication, and more.

MCP server Toolbox provides the framework needed to construct production-quality database utilities and make them available to all clients in the increasing MCP ecosystem. This compatibility lets agentic app developers leverage Toolbox and reliably query several databases using a single protocol, simplifying development and improving interoperability.

MCP Toolbox for Databases supports ATK

The Agent Development Kit (ADK), an open-source framework that simplifies complicated multi-agent systems while maintaining fine-grained agent behaviour management, was later introduced. You can construct an AI agent using ADK in under 100 lines of user-friendly code. ADK lets you:

Orchestration controls and deterministic guardrails affect agents' thinking, reasoning, and collaboration.

ADK's patented bidirectional audio and video streaming features allow human-like interactions with agents with just a few lines of code.

Choose your preferred deployment or model. ADK supports your stack, whether it's your top-tier model, deployment target, or remote agent interface with other frameworks. ADK also supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which secures data source-AI agent communication.

Release to production using Vertex AI Agent Engine's direct interface. This reliable and transparent approach from development to enterprise-grade deployment eliminates agent production overhead.

Add LangGraph support

LangGraph offers essential persistence layer support with checkpointers. This helps create powerful, stateful agents that can complete long tasks or resume where they left off.

For state storage, Google Cloud provides integration libraries that employ powerful managed databases. The following are developer options:

Access the extremely scalable AlloyDB for PostgreSQL using the langchain-google-alloydb-pg-python library's AlloyDBSaver class, or pick

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL utilising langchain-google-cloud-sql-pg-python's PostgresSaver checkpointer.

With Google Cloud's PostgreSQL performance and management, both store and load agent execution states easily, allowing operations to be halted, resumed, and audited with dependability.

When assembling a graph, a checkpointer records a graph state checkpoint at each super-step. These checkpoints are saved in a thread accessible after graph execution. Threads offer access to the graph's state after execution, enabling fault-tolerance, memory, time travel, and human-in-the-loop.
