SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you get cb-analytics-mcp installed, configured, and validated without guesswork, so the server starts cleanly and connects to Couchbase reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • First-run setup: Generate required secrets, populate environment variables, and choose between single-cluster and multi-cluster configuration.
  • Validation and troubleshooting: Run configuration checks, interpret startup failures, and resolve common issues like bad passwords, TLS mismatches, or unreachable clusters.
  • Operator workflow: Use the CLI to list tools, test connectivity, pre-flight queries, and verify rate limits, audit logging, and GUI behavior.
  • Use case: A platform engineer can bring a fresh deployment online, confirm the cluster is reachable, and hand Claude a working MCP endpoint with confidence.

Quick Start

Ask me to set up cb-analytics-mcp from scratch and I’ll generate the needed secrets, validate your environment, and walk you through the correct single-cluster or multi-cluster configuration.
