# DSPy と ClickHouse MCP server を使って AI エージェントを構築する方法

> DSPy と ClickHouse MCP server を使って AI エージェントを構築する方法を学びます

このガイドでは、[DSPy](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph) を使って AI エージェントを構築し、
[ClickHouse の SQL playground](https://sql.clickhouse.com/) を [ClickHouse MCP server](https://github.com/ClickHouse/mcp-clickhouse) 経由で操作する方法を学びます。

<div id="prerequisites">
  ## 前提条件
</div>

* システムに Python がインストールされている必要があります。
* システムに `pip` がインストールされている必要があります。
* Anthropic の API キー、または別の LLM プロバイダーの API キーが必要です。

以下の手順は、Python の REPL またはスクリプトから実行できます。

<Info>
  **サンプルノートブック**

  このサンプルは、[examples リポジトリ](https://github.com/ClickHouse/examples/blob/main/ai/mcp/dspy/dspy.ipynb) 内のノートブックとして提供されています。
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="ライブラリをインストールする" id="install-libraries">
    必要なライブラリをインストールするには、`pip` を使って次のコマンドを実行します。

    ```shell theme={null}
    pip install -q --upgrade pip
    pip install -q dspy
    pip install -q mcp
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="認証情報を設定する" id="setup-credentials">
    次に、Anthropic APIキーを指定する必要があります。

    ```python theme={null}
    import os
    os.environ["ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter Anthropic API Key:")
    ```

    <Info>
      **別のLLMプロバイダーを使用する場合**

      Anthropic APIキーをお持ちでなく、別のLLMプロバイダーを使用したい場合は、
      [DSPyドキュメント](https://dspy.ai/#__tabbed_1_1)で認証情報の設定手順を確認できます
    </Info>

    次に、ClickHouse SQL playground への接続に必要な認証情報を定義します。

    ```python theme={null}
    env = {
        "CLICKHOUSE_HOST": "sql-clickhouse.clickhouse.com",
        "CLICKHOUSE_PORT": "8443",
        "CLICKHOUSE_USER": "demo",
        "CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD": "",
        "CLICKHOUSE_SECURE": "true"
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="MCPサーバーを初期化する" id="initialize-mcp">
    次に、ClickHouse MCPサーバーの接続先としてClickHouse SQL playgroundを設定します。

    ```python theme={null}
    from mcp import ClientSession, StdioServerParameters
    from mcp.client.stdio import stdio_client
    import dspy

    server_params = StdioServerParameters(
        command="uv",
        args=[
            'run',
            '--with', 'mcp-clickhouse',
            '--python', '3.13',
            'mcp-clickhouse'
        ],
        env=env
    )
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="LLM を初期化する" id="initialize-llm">
    次に、以下の行で LLM を初期化します。

    ```python theme={null}
    dspy.configure(lm=dspy.LM("anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514"))
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="エージェントの実行" id="run-the-agent">
    最後に、エージェントを初期化して起動します：

    ```python theme={null}
    class DataAnalyst(dspy.Signature):
        """You are a data analyst. You'll be asked questions and you need to try to answer them using the tools you have access to. """

        user_request: str = dspy.InputField()
        process_result: str = dspy.OutputField(
            desc=(
                "Answer to the query"
            )
        )

    from utils import print_dspy_result

    async with stdio_client(server_params) as (read, write):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()
            tools = await session.list_tools()

            dspy_tools = []
            for tool in tools.tools:
                dspy_tools.append(dspy.Tool.from_mcp_tool(session, tool))

            react = dspy.ReAct(DataAnalyst, tools=dspy_tools)
            result = await react.acall(user_request="What's the most popular Amazon product category")
            print_dspy_result(result)
    ```

    ```response title="Response" theme={null}

    📍 STEP 1
    ----------------------------------------
    🧠 THINKING: I need to find information about Amazon product categories and determine which one is most popular. First, I should explore what databases are available to see if there's any Amazon-related data.

    🔧 TOOL: list_databases

    📊 RESULT:
       amazon
    bluesky
    country
    covid
    default
    dns
    environmental
    food
    forex
    geo
    git

    hackernews
    imdb
    logs
    metrica
    mgbench
    mta

    ontime
    opensky
    otel
    otel_v2
    pypi
    random
    reddit
    rubygems
    sta...

    📍 STEP 2
    ----------------------------------------
    🧠 THINKING: Great! I can see there's an "amazon" database available. This is exactly what I need to find information about Amazon product categories. Let me explore the tables in the amazon database to see what data is available.

    🔧 TOOL: list_tables
       Args: {'database': 'amazon'}

    📊 RESULT:
       {
      "database": "amazon",
      "name": "amazon_reviews",
      "comment": "",
      "columns": [
        {
          "name": "review_date",
          "type": "Date",
          "default_type": "",
          "default_expression": "",...

    📍 STEP 3
    ----------------------------------------
    🧠 THINKING: Perfect! I found the amazon_reviews table which contains a product_category column. This table has over 150 million rows of Amazon review data, which should give me a good representation of product popularity. To find the most popular Amazon product category, I need to count the number of reviews per category and order them by count in descending order. The category with the most reviews would be considered the most popular.

    🔧 TOOL: run_select_query
       Args: {'query': 'SELECT product_category, COUNT(*) as review_count FROM amazon.amazon_reviews GROUP BY product_category ORDER BY review_count DESC LIMIT 10'}

    📊 RESULT:
       1. Books: 19,530,930 reviews
       2. Digital_Ebook_Purchase: 17,622,107 reviews
       3. Wireless: 9,001,567 reviews
       4. PC: 6,908,245 reviews
       5. Home: 6,221,321 reviews
       ... and 5 more

    📍 STEP 4
    ----------------------------------------
    🧠 THINKING: Perfect! I have found the answer to the user's question. Based on the Amazon reviews data, I can clearly see that "Books" is the most popular Amazon product category with 19,530,930 reviews, followed by "Digital_Ebook_Purchase" with 17,622,107 reviews. The data shows a clear ranking of product categories by popularity based on the number of reviews each category has received. I now have all the information needed to answer the user's question.

    🔧 TOOL: finish

    📊 RESULT:
       Completed.

    🎯 REASONING
    ----------------------------------------
    To answer the question about the most popular Amazon product category, I accessed the Amazon database and found a table called "amazon_reviews" with over 150 million review records. This table contains a "product_category" column that allows me to analyze product popularity based on review volume. I ran a query to count the number of reviews per product category and ordered them by count in descending order. The assumption here is that categories with more reviews indicate higher popularity, as more reviews typically correlate with more purchases and customer engagement.

    ✅ FINAL RESULT
    ----------------------------------------
    Based on Amazon review data containing over 150 million records, the most popular Amazon product category is **Books** with 19,530,930 reviews. 

    Here are the top 10 most popular Amazon product categories by review count:

    1. **Books** - 19,530,930 reviews
    2. **Digital_Ebook_Purchase** - 17,622,107 reviews  
    3. **Wireless** - 9,001,567 reviews
    4. **PC** - 6,908,245 reviews
    5. **Home** - 6,221,321 reviews
    6. **Apparel** - 5,906,085 reviews
    7. **Health & Personal Care** - 5,331,239 reviews
    8. **Beauty** - 5,115,462 reviews
    9. **Video DVD** - 5,069,014 reviews
    10. **Mobile_Apps** - 5,033,164 reviews

    It's interesting to note that Books and Digital Ebook Purchase (which are related categories) together account for over 37 million reviews, showing the strong popularity of reading materials on Amazon's platform.
