Astra DB

1. Create an Astra DB Account and Database

   • Go to astra.datastax.com/register and sign up for a free account.
   • Once registered, log in and create a new (serverless) database by following the on-screen prompts.

2. Obtain the Astra DB Application Token

   • After your database is set up, navigate to your database’s dashboard within the Astra DB console.
   • Go to the "Settings" or "Organization Settings," then find the "Token Management" or "API Tokens" section.
   • Click on "Create Token" (choose at least "Database Administrator" role for full access).
   • Copy the generated "Token" (starts with AstraCS:...). This token will only be displayed once!

3. Get the Astra DB API Endpoint

   • In your database dashboard, locate the "Connect" tab or section.
   • Under "Connect using REST API" or a similar header, copy the "REST API Endpoint" URL. It should look like:
     https://<database_id>-<region>.apps.astra.datastax.com/api/rest

4. (Optional) Find Your Keyspace Name

   • If you wish to specify a keyspace (database namespace), note or copy the keyspace name you created. If not, you can skip this.

5. Add the Values to the FastMCP Connection Interface

   • Go to your FastMCP interface and click on the "Install Now" button for Astra DB.
   • When prompted, fill in the following values:
     • ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN: Paste the token from step 2.
     • ASTRA_DB_API_ENDPOINT: Paste the API endpoint from step 3.
     • (Optional) ASTRA_DB_KEYSPACE: Enter your keyspace name if you wish to connect to a specific keyspace.

6. Save and Finish

   • Save your configuration in the FastMCP interface. Your MCP server is now connected to Astra DB!
