Execute read-only SQL queries against multiple Microsoft SQL Server databases. Use when: (1) querying MSSQL/SQL Server databases, (2) exploring database schemas/tables, (3) running SELECT queries for data analysis, (4) checking database contents. Supports multiple database connections with descriptions for intelligent auto-selection. Blocks all write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc.) for safety.
Execute safe, read-only queries against configured Microsoft SQL Server databases.
pip install -r requirements.txtCreate connections.json in the skill directory or ~/.config/claude/mssql-connections.json.
Security: Set file permissions to 600 since it contains credentials:

python3 scripts/query.py --db production --query "SELECT TOP 10 * FROM users"
python3 scripts/query.py --db production --tables
python3 scripts/query.py --db production --schema
python3 scripts/query.py --db production --query "SELECT * FROM orders" --limit 100
Note: MSSQL uses TOP N instead of LIMIT. The --limit flag automatically inserts TOP N after SELECT.
Match user intent to database description:
| User asks about | Look for description containing |
|---|---|
| users, accounts | users, accounts, customers |
| orders, sales | orders, transactions, sales |
| analytics, metrics | analytics, metrics, reports |
| logs, events | logs, events, audit |
If unclear, run --list and ask user which database.

|---|---|
| Config not found | Create connections.json in skill directory |
| Authentication failed | Check username/password in config |
| Connection timeout | Verify host/port, check firewall/VPN |
| TDS version error | Try "tds_version": "7.3" or "7.4" |
| Encryption error | Set "encrypt": true for Azure SQL |
