VikingDB MCP server is an MCP server for VikingDB, used to store and search information in VikingDB. VikingDB is a high-performance vector database developed by ByteDance; refer to the official documentation https://www.volcengine.com/docs/84313/1254444 for usage.
Main capabilities: This server implements the following tools: vikingdb-colleciton-intro (introduces VikingDB collections), vikingdb-index-intro (introduces VikingDB indexes), vikingdb-upsert-information (writes information to VikingDB for later use), vikingdb-search-information (searches for information in VikingDB).
Configuration items include: vikingdb_host (VikingDB server host), vikingdb_region (region), vikingdb_ak (Access Key), vikingdb_sk (Secret Key), collection_name (collection name), index_name (index name).
Usage: It can be automatically installed for Claude Desktop via Smithery; the configuration file is ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on MacOS and %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Windows. The repository also includes instructions for development/unpublished server configuration and published server configuration, as well as the build and release process: sync dependencies and update the lock file, build package distributions (generate source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory), publish to PyPI (PyPI credentials must be set via environment variables or command arguments; for Token use --token or UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN, for username/password use --username / UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME and --password / UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD).
Debugging: Because the MCP server runs over stdio, debugging can be difficult. MCP Inspector is recommended; it can be started via an npm command, and after startup it displays a URL that can be accessed in a browser to begin debugging.
Limitations: The material does not provide more details about performance, pricing, platform support, or specific usage steps.
