[Exist-open] An MCP server for exist-db

[Alfredo C. <alf...@gm...>]

Hi all,
I just built an MCP server for exist-db — fresh out of the oven, barely
tested, and very much a work in progress. But it's here.

https://github.com/orazionelson/existdb-mcp

What it does:
1) Offline documentation lookup — query the full eXist-db/XQuery function
library (fundocs) without leaving your AI client. Signatures, parameters,
return types, the whole thing.

2) XQuery execution — send queries directly to a live eXist-db instance via
the REST API and get results back in your chat.

3) Collection management — list, store, retrieve and delete documents and
collections without touching the eXide UI.

If you're using Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, RAGFlow or any other
MCP-compatible client, you can wire this up and start querying, populating
and programming your eXist-db instance through natural language.

It was designed and scaffolded with Claude Code, which made the whole thing
surprisingly fast to put together — the MCP SDK, the fundocs scraper, the
REST API wrappers.

Bye,
Alfredo
