    "mcp-clickhouse": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "$REPOSITORY_DIRECTORY",
        "run",
        "--with-editable",
        "$REPOSITORY_DIRECTORY",
        "--python",
        "3.13",
        "mcp-aiven"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AIVEN_BASE_URL": "https://api.aiven.io",
        "AIVEN_PROJECT_NAME": "$DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME",
        "AIVEN_TOKEN": "$AIVEN_TOKEN"

  }
}

Update the environment variables:

  • $REPOSITORY_DIRECTORY to point to the folder cointaining the repository
  • AIVEN_PROJECT_NAME to the default project name
  • AIVEN_TOKEN to the Aiven login token.
