CockroachDB Plugin for Claude Code

Connect Claude Code directly to your CockroachDB clusters for hands-on database work — explore schemas, write optimized SQL, debug queries, and manage distributed database clusters. This plugin provides tools across MCP backends (self-hosted MCP Toolbox and managed CockroachDB Cloud MCP Server), specialized agents (DBA, Developer, Operator), skills across operational domains, and built-in safety hooks.

Installation

Install from the Claude Marketplace, or in Claude Code run:

text
/plugin install cockroachdb@claude-plugins-official

To install from this repository's own marketplace instead:

text
/plugin marketplace add cockroachdb/claude-plugin
/plugin install cockroachdb@cockroachdb-claude-plugin

Local development

bash
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/claude-plugin

Prerequisites

The skills, agents, and hooks work without any setup. Each of the plugin's MCP servers needs its own:

  • `cockroachdb-toolbox` (any self-hosted or Cloud cluster) needs MCP Toolbox for Databases v1.0.0 or later on your PATH, and a running CockroachDB cluster it can reach. Toolbox connects when the session starts, so without a reachable cluster this server fails to start. If you don't run a cluster, turn the server off.
  • `cockroachdb-cloud` (CockroachDB Cloud) needs a CockroachDB Cloud account. Run /mcp and select the server to sign in.
