Claude Code How to use YugabyteDB with Claude Code
You want YugabyteDB inside Claude Code so it can map the database before writing queries, investigate a data issue, check data quality across related tables, and answer an operational database question — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your YugabyteDB gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which YugabyteDB tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your YugabyteDB tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the YugabyteDB tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-
Try it out
Open Claude Code in your project and ask it to use one of your YugabyteDB tools.

Use a read-only database credential so an agent can inspect schemas and query data without changing records. Pair it with Contextual Access policies to limit which database access the agent can use.
