SpotDB

Lightweight data sandbox for AI workflows and data exploration, enabled with guardrails and security to keep your data safe.

This project provides a lightweight, ephemeral data sandbox designed for large language models (LLMs) and agentic workflows. By providing a secure, isolated environment, it allows AI agents and scripts to analyze data without direct access to production databases. This setup prevents accidental data modification, ensures data privacy, and enforces guardrails for safe data exploration.

Features

• 🏖️ Ephemeral Data Sandbox: Create temporary databases for AI workflows and data exploration.
• 📸 Snapshot: Capture and store data snapshots, recover point-in-time data states or continue from a previous state.
• 🧠 MCP API: Access data through a Model Context Protocol for seamless integration with AI models and agentic workflows.
• ⚙️ REST API: Access data through a RESTful API for integration with traditional systems and workflows.
• 🚂 Guardrails: Enforce rules and constraints to ensure data safety and privacy.
• 🛡️ Security: Protect data from unauthorized access and modification.

Quick Start

1. Tap the repository and install the package:

brew tap aliengiraffe/spaceship && \\
brew install spotdb

2. Start the server:

spotdb

3. Upload a CSV file:

curl -X POST \
  http://localhost:8080/api/v1/upload \
  -F "table_name=mytable" \
  -F "has_header=true" \
  -F "[email protected]"

4. Query the data:

curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/query?sql=SELECT%20*%20FROM%20mytable

5. Setup Claude CodeYou must have the claude command installed.

Then, you can add the spotdb mcp:

claude mcp add spotdb -s user -- npx -y mcp-remote http://localhost:8081/stream

Use Explorer UI

Open the Explorer UI in your browser and upload files and query the data:
