mcp-vertica is the original and first implementation of a Vertica MCP server for Model Context Protocol.

• 🥇 First to Market: Original Python implementation of Vertica MCP Server
• ✅ Official Recognition: Listed in Model Context Protocol Official Registry
• 🐍 Python Native: Built with Python using Fast MCP framework
• 🏢 Production Ready: Enterprise features including connection pooling, security, and Docker support
• 📦 Wide Distribution: Available on PyPI and Smithery

Since our initial release, the open-source community has created several derivative projects through forking or porting to other languages (TypeScript, JavaScript, etc.).

We fully embrace open source and welcome derivatives under the MIT License. The growth of the ecosystem validates the need for Vertica MCP integration.

However, we believe transparency matters:

• Original Implementation: mcp-vertica pioneered Vertica integration for MCP
• Proper Attribution: Derivative works should acknowledge their origins
• Community Trust: Clear attribution helps users understand project relationships and make informed choices

While derivative projects exist, we focus on:

• 🚀 Continuous Innovation: Regular feature updates and improvements
• 🔒 Security & Reliability: Production-grade security and error handling
• 📚 Comprehensive Documentation: Clear guides and examples
• 🤝 Active Maintenance: Responsive to issues and community feedback
• 🏢 Enterprise Features: Connection pooling, SSL/TLS, permission management

We encourage users to evaluate MCP servers based on:

• ✅ Feature completeness and production readiness
• ✅ Active maintenance and community support
• ✅ Clear documentation and support channels
• ✅ Transparency about origins and dependencies
• ✅ Language preference (Python vs TypeScript vs others)

We're confident in delivering the best Vertica MCP experience and welcome comparisons.

We remain committed to:

• 🚀 Innovation: Developing new features and capabilities
• 🔒 Quality: Maintaining production-grade reliability
• 📚 Documentation: Keeping comprehensive, up-to-date guides
• 🤝 Community: Supporting users and welcoming contributions
• 🌐 Transparency: Open development and clear communication

• 📖 Documentation
• 🐛 Report Issues
• 💬 Discussions
• 📦 PyPI Package
