JEStats Astra DB Plugin

An unofficial Astra DB integration by JEStats. Explore, query, and build from your coding agent, with interactive views and guarded writes. Not affiliated with or endorsed by DataStax or IBM.

Choose your coding assistant

The installer detects supported assistants. Already configured the Astra CLI? Add --no-login to reuse its profile without copying the token.

Community marketplace installs:

claude plugin marketplace add jestatsio/astra-db-plugin
claude plugin install astra-db@astra-db-marketplace
codex plugin marketplace add jestatsio/astra-db-plugin
codex plugin add astra-db@astra-db-marketplace

Connect a hosted assistant

For ChatGPT or claude.ai, add this remote MCP URL. OAuth authorizes the JEStats connector and still requires an Astra application token.

https://astra-widgets-mcp.vercel.app/mcp

Authorize the connection

  1. ChatGPT: turn on developer mode, add a custom connector, paste the URL above, and choose OAuth.
  2. claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste the URL.
  3. On the Connect Astra DB page, enter an application token (Astra console → Settings → Tokens). The endpoint is optional when the token sees one database. Tick Allow writes only if the assistant should be able to change data; destructive operations still ask first.

Or send headers

Authorization: Bearer <ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN>
X-Astra-Endpoint: https://<db-id>-<region>.apps.astra.datastax.com
X-Astra-Allow-Writes: true      # optional; read-only without it

Run it locally instead

For coding agents, the local server reads your project's .env and needs no hosted hop:
