[ HOW TO CONNECT ]

Connect Apache Doris to Bifrost in three steps

Install Bifrost

• Confirm the transport, command or endpoint, and authentication requirements in the Apache Doris upstream documentation.

• Replace every placeholder in the example before sending the request.

Point clients at Bifrost /mcp

Configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code to use your Bifrost endpoint with a virtual key instead of connecting directly to Apache Doris.

  -d '{
    "name": "apache-doris",
    "connection_type": "<http|sse>",
    "connection_string": "<upstream MCP endpoint>",
    "tools_to_execute": ["*"]
  }'

# For a local STDIO server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "apache-doris",
    "connection_type": "stdio",
    "stdio_config": {
