MCP Bridge for Virtuoso (Community Edition)

A custom MCP server that lets OpenClaw (or any LLM agent) access Virtuoso Community Edition as a semantic backend without running raw SPARQL from the agent. The MCP layer exposes structured tools that orchestrate queries and later aggregate data across additional stores (PostgreSQL, CouchDB, Qdrant).

Vision

• LLMs never issue SQL/SPARQL directly—they call MCP tools.
• The MCP server handles orchestration, sanitization, rate limiting, and multi-source composition.
• Start with Virtuoso (SPARQL) and progressively add new connectors.

Design Principles

1. Tool-based abstraction: Provide helpers such as sparql_query, get_entities_by_type, list_graphs instead of exposing raw SPARQL.
2. Gradual complexity: Ship a minimal working setup, then layer on helper tooling, schema introspection, and connectors.
3. Separation of concerns: Virtuoso stores RDF, MCP runs tool interfaces, and LLMs focus on reasoning/tool selection.

Success Criteria

• Phase 1: MCP tool (sparql_query) returns valid SPARQL JSON results.
• Phase 2: LLM relies on helper tools instead of free-form queries.
• Phase 3: Multiple data sources accessible through a unified MCP interface.
