FOCUS DATA MCP Server
Convert natural language into SQL statements with a two-step generation solution to reduce hallucinations and improve trust.
FOCUS DATA MCP Server [中文]
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables artificial intelligence assistants to convert natural language into SQL statements.
There are already so many Text-to-SQL frameworks. Why do we still need another one?
In simple terms, focus_mcp_sql adopts a two-step SQL generation solution, which enables control over the hallucinations of LLM and truly builds the trust of non-technical users in the generated SQL results.
Below is the comparison table between focus_mcp_sql and others:
Comparison Analysis Table
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of focus_mcp_sql with other LLM-based frameworks:
| Feature | Traditional LLM Frameworks | focus_mcp_sql |
|---|---|---|
| Generation Process | Black box, direct SQL generation | Transparent, two-step (keywords + SQL) |
| Hallucination Risk | High, depends on model quality | Low, controllable (keyword verification) |
| Speed | Slow, relies on large model inference | Fast, deterministic keyword-to-SQL |
| Cost | High, requires advanced models | Low, reduces reliance on large models |
| Non-Technical User Friendliness | Low, hard to verify results | High, easy keyword checking |
Features
-Initialize the model -Convert natural language to SQL statements
Prerequisites
