SurrealDB MCP for AI Agents

Two MCP surfaces exist as of SurrealDB 3.1:

Built-in MCP (SurrealDB 3.1+)

# stdio — typical MCP host config
surreal mcp --endpoint ws://127.0.0.1:8000/rpc --ns test --db test \
  --user root --pass root

Security: stdio MCP grants owner-level tool access with no login step. Do not
expose to untrusted hosts. HTTP /mcp requires normal SurrealDB authentication.

See rules/surrealmcp.md for env vars and tool hints.
