Run this in a terminal to add the server to Claude Code.
What this does
mcp-server-couchbase exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.
Requirements
This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:
CB_CONNECTION_STRING CB_USERNAME CB_PASSWORD CB_CA_CERT_PATH CB_CLIENT_CERT_PATH CB_CLIENT_KEY_PATH CB_MCP_READ_ONLY_MODE CB_MCP_TRANSPORT CB_MCP_HOST CB_MCP_PORT CB_MCP_DISABLED_TOOLS CB_MCP_CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED_TOOLS CB_MCP_LOG_LEVEL CB_MCP_LOG_SINKS CB_MCP_LOG_FILE CB_MCP_LOG_ROTATION_MAX_SIZE_MB CB_MCP_LOG_MAX_BYTES CB_MCP_LOG_ERROR_ROTATION_MAX_SIZE_MB CB_MCP_LOG_WARNING_ROTATION_MAX_SIZE_MB CB_MCP_LOG_INFO_ROTATION_MAX_SIZE_MB CB_MCP_LOG_DEBUG_ROTATION_MAX_SIZE_MB CB_MCP_LOG_RETENTION_BACKUP_COUNT CB_MCP_LOG_ERROR_RETENTION_BACKUP_COUNT CB_MCP_LOG_WARNING_RETENTION_BACKUP_COUNT CB_MCP_LOG_INFO_RETENTION_BACKUP_COUNT CB_MCP_LOG_DEBUG_RETENTION_BACKUP_COUNT CB_MCP_OAUTH_JWT_JWKS_URI CB_MCP_OAUTH_JWT_ISSUER CB_MCP_OAUTH_JWT_AUDIENCE CB_MCP_OAUTH_JWT_ALGORITHM CB_MCP_OAUTH_MCP_BASE_URL CB_MCP_OAUTH_SCOPE_READ_LABEL CB_MCP_OAUTH_SCOPE_WRITE_LABEL
