arpeio-mcp
Unified MCP server for Arpe.io data tools — build, preview, and execute high-performance data commands through AI assistants.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| FastBCP | High-performance parallel database export to files and cloud |
| FastTransfer | High-performance parallel data transfer between databases |
| LakeXpress | Automated database-to-cloud data pipeline as Parquet |
| MigratorXpress | Cross-platform database migration with parallel transfer |
No binaries required. All tools work in command builder mode out of the box — command building, preview, and informational tools work without any Arpe.io binary installed. To enable execution, download the binaries from arpe.io and set the corresponding
*_PATHenvironment variables.
Connect your AI assistant
A hosted instance is available at https://arpe-io-arpeio-mcp.hf.space/sse — no installation required. For local installation with execution support, use the stdio transport via pip install arpeio-mcp.

Available Tools (17)
Read-only advisory tools were consolidated into one *_info tool per product (with an action enum) and per-product release-notes tools were merged into a single arpe_release_notes. Auto-parallelism is now suggested inside preview so the typical workflow is 2 calls (preview → execute) instead of 4.
FastBCP (3 tools)
fastbcp_info— Read-only advisory:action="formats" | "parallelism" | "workflow" | "version"fastbcp_preview_export— Validate parameters and render the command (auto-suggests parallelism whenmethodis omitted)fastbcp_execute_export— Run the export
FastTransfer (3 tools)
fasttransfer_info— Read-only advisory:action="combinations" | "parallelism" | "workflow" | "version"fasttransfer_preview_transfer— Validate parameters and render the command (auto-suggests parallelism)fasttransfer_execute_transfer— Run the transfer
LakeXpress (3 tools)

MigratorXpress (4 tools)
migratorxpress_info— Read-only advisory:action="capabilities" | "workflow" | "version"migratorxpress_validate_auth_file— Validate the JSON auth file (only file-I/O advisory tool kept separate)migratorxpress_preview_command— Build the migrate command.

Meta (4 tools)
arpe_get_status— Status of all four CLIs (installed / command-builder-only)arpe_quick_start— Detect the right tool from a plain-English use case and return a workflow guidearpe_release_notes— Return release-notes chunks for any product (product="fastbcp" | "fasttransfer" | "lakexpress" | "migratorxpress", optionalversion)search_docs— BM25 full-text search over arpe.io docs sites and blog
Prompts (5)
Conversation starters surfaced by clients that support MCP prompts (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):export-table, transfer-data, lakehouse-pipeline, migrate-database, troubleshoot.
Resources (4)
Static capability matrices served as MCP resources so clients can prefetch them without a tool call:arpeio://capabilities/fastbcp-formats, fasttransfer-combinations, lakexpress-capabilities, migratorxpress-capabilities.
