🚀 Add MindsDB Integration: Expand Toolbox to Hundreds of Datasources
Overview
This PR introduces comprehensive MindsDB integration to the Google GenAI
Toolbox, enabling SQL queries across hundreds of datasources through a
unified interface. MindsDB is the most widely adopted AI federated
database that automatically translates MySQL queries into REST APIs,
GraphQL, and native protocols.
🎯 Key Value for Google GenAI Toolbox Ecosystem
1. Massive Datasource Expansion
Before: Toolbox limited to ~15 traditional databases
After: Access to hundreds of datasources including Salesforce, Jira,
GitHub, MongoDB, Gmail, Slack, and more
Impact: Dramatically expands the toolbox's reach and utility for
enterprise users
2. Cross-Datasource Analytics
New Capability: Perform joins and analytics across different datasources
seamlessly
Example: Join Salesforce opportunities with GitHub activity to correlate
sales with development activity
Value: Enables comprehensive data analysis that was previously
impossible
3. API Abstraction Layer
Innovation: Write standard SQL queries that automatically translate to
any API
Benefit: Developers can query REST APIs, GraphQL, and native protocols
using familiar SQL syntax
Impact: Reduces complexity and learning curve for accessing diverse
datasources
4. ML Model Integration
Enhanced Capability: Use ML models as virtual tables for real-time
predictions
Example: Query customer churn predictions directly through SQL
Value: Brings AI/ML capabilities into the standard SQL workflow
🔧 Technical Implementation
Source Layer
✅ New MindsDB source implementation using MySQL wire protocol
✅ Comprehensive test coverage with integration tests
✅ Updated existing MySQL tools to support MindsDB sources
✅ Created dedicated MindsDB tools for enhanced functionality
Tools Layer
✅ mindsdb-execute-sql: Direct SQL execution across federated datasources
✅ mindsdb-sql: Parameterized SQL queries with template support
✅ Backward compatibility with existing MySQL tools
Documentation & Configuration
✅ Comprehensive documentation with real-world examples
✅ Prebuilt configuration for easy setup
✅ Updated CLI help text and command-line options
📊 Supported Datasources
Business Applications
Salesforce (leads, opportunities, accounts)
Jira (issues, projects, workflows)
GitHub (repositories, commits, PRs)
Slack (channels, messages, teams)
HubSpot (contacts, companies, deals)
Databases & Storage
MongoDB (NoSQL collections as structured tables)
Redis (key-value stores)
Elasticsearch (search and analytics)
S3, filesystems, etc (file storage)
Communication & Email
Gmail/Outlook (emails, attachments)
Microsoft Teams (communications, files)
Discord (server data, messages)
🎯 Example Use Cases
Cross-Datasource Analytics
-- Join Salesforce opportunities with GitHub activity
```
SELECT
s.opportunity_name,
s.amount,
g.repository_name,
COUNT(g.commits) as commit_count
FROM salesforce.opportunities s
JOIN github.repositories g ON s.account_id = g.owner_id
WHERE s.stage = 'Closed Won';
```
Email & Communication Analysis
```
-- Analyze email patterns with Slack activity
SELECT
e.sender,
e.subject,
s.channel_name,
COUNT(s.messages) as message_count
FROM gmail.emails e
JOIN slack.messages s ON e.sender = s.user_name
WHERE e.date >= '2024-01-01';
```
🚀 Benefits for Google GenAI Toolbox
Enterprise Adoption: Enables access to enterprise datasources
(Salesforce, Jira, etc.)
Developer Productivity: Familiar SQL interface for any datasource
AI/ML Integration: Seamless integration of ML models into SQL workflows
Scalability: Single interface for hundreds of datasources
Competitive Advantage: Unique federated database capabilities in the
toolbox ecosystem
📈 Impact Metrics
Datasource Coverage: +1000% increase in supported datasources
API Abstraction: Eliminates need to learn individual API syntaxes
Cross-Platform Analytics: Enables previously impossible data
correlations
ML Integration: Brings AI capabilities into standard SQL workflows

🛠️ Fixes #<issue_number_goes_here>
Prevents Hugo from automatically indexing the quickstart folder in site
navigation and search results.
This keeps documentation structure clean by excluding
development/testing quickstart resources from public docs.
Introduces a new Hugo shortcode, `includeRegion`, to allow embedding
specific, tagged regions from source files directly into Markdown
content.
This helps maintain a single source of truth for code snippets and other
repeated content, such as setup instructions, preventing duplication and
simplifying updates across multiple quickstart guides.

This PR fixes https://github.com/google/docsy/issues/2218.
This PR adds `layouts/partials/page-meta-links.html` to your repo which
takes precedence over the original file from docsy theme (which is
faulty). Don't forget to remove this file again once this issue is fixed
in the docsy theme.
