Google Cloud's Remote MCP Server for AlloyDB is now generally available, enabling AI agents to securely connect to operational databases via a fully-managed HTTP endpoint. Key features include IAM-based fine-grained authorization, Model Armor prompt/response protection, Cloud Audit Logs for every query, and support for AlloyDB's vector search capabilities (ScaNN index, hybrid search, RRF reranking). Agents can introspect database schemas automatically and use AlloyDB AI functions like AI.RANK(). Setup involves enabling APIs, provisioning an AlloyDB cluster, and configuring an MCP client with an OAuth 2.0 bearer token. The server is part of Google Cloud's broader rollout of 50+ managed MCP servers.
