arpeio-mcp

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.arpe-io/arpeio-mcp -->

Unified MCP server for Arpe.io data tools — build, preview, and execute high-performance data commands through AI assistants.

Tool	Description
FastBCP	High-performance parallel database export to files and cloud
FastTransfer	High-performance parallel data transfer between databases
LakeXpress	Automated database-to-cloud data pipeline as Parquet
MigratorXpress	Cross-platform database migration with parallel transfer

No binaries required. All tools work in command builder mode out of the box — command building, preview, and informational tools work without any Arpe.io binary installed. To enable execution, download the binaries from arpe.io and set the corresponding *_PATH environment variables.

Connect your AI assistant

A hosted instance is available at https://arpe-io-arpeio-mcp.hf.space/sse — no installation required. For local installation with execution support, use the stdio transport via pip install arpeio-mcp.

Local Installation

For full execution support (not just command building), install locally:

pip install arpeio-mcp

Then configure your AI assistant to use the arpeio-mcp command (stdio transport) with optional binary paths — see the Claude Desktop local configuration for an example.

Available Tools (17)

Read-only advisory tools were consolidated into one *_info tool per product (with an action enum) and per-product release-notes tools were merged into a single arpe_release_notes. Auto-parallelism is now suggested inside preview so the typical workflow is 2 calls (preview → execute) instead of 4.

FastBCP (3 tools)

• fastbcp_info — Read-only advisory: action="formats" | "parallelism" | "workflow" | "version"
• fastbcp_preview_export — Validate parameters and render the command (auto-suggests parallelism when method is omitted)
• fastbcp_execute_export — Run the export

FastTransfer (3 tools)

• fasttransfer_info — Read-only advisory: action="combinations" | "parallelism" | "workflow" | "version"
• fasttransfer_preview_transfer — Validate parameters and render the command (auto-suggests parallelism)
• fasttransfer_execute_transfer — Run the transfer

LakeXpress (3 tools)

• lakexpress_info — Read-only advisory: action="capabilities" | "workflow" | "version"
• lakexpress_preview_command — Build any LakeXpress command (lxdb_*, config_*, sync, sync[export], sync[publish], run, status, cleanup). On v0.4.0+ binaries, warns when -a / --lxdb_auth_id / --sync_id are missing on sync-family calls
• lakexpress_execute_command — Run the command

MigratorXpress (4 tools)

• migratorxpress_info — Read-only advisory: action="capabilities" | "workflow" | "version"
• migratorxpress_validate_auth_file — Validate the JSON auth file (only file-I/O advisory tool kept separate)
• migratorxpress_preview_command — Build the migrate command. Accepts the new project tag (v0.6.30+); warns on migration_db_type="postgres" against pre-0.6.32 binaries
• migratorxpress_execute_command — Run the migration

Meta (4 tools)

• arpe_get_status — Status of all four CLIs (installed / command-builder-only)
• arpe_quick_start — Detect the right tool from a plain-English use case and return a workflow guide
• arpe_release_notes — Return release-notes chunks for any product (product="fastbcp" | "fasttransfer" | "lakexpress" | "migratorxpress", optional version)
• search_docs — BM25 full-text search over arpe.io docs sites and blog

Prompts (5)

Conversation starters surfaced by clients that support MCP prompts (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.): export-table, transfer-data, lakehouse-pipeline, migrate-database, troubleshoot.

Resources (4)

Static capability matrices served as MCP resources so clients can prefetch them without a tool call: arpeio://capabilities/fastbcp-formats, fasttransfer-combinations, lakexpress-capabilities, migratorxpress-capabilities.
