TiDB
The distributed SQL database built for AI agents

TiDB is a distributed SQL database that unifies vector search, ACID transactions, and analytics in a single engine. It is designed to power AI agents at scale, offering elastic autoscaling, multi-tenancy, and integrations with popular AI frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex. It replaces the need for separate vector stores, data warehouses, and transaction layers.
TiDB provides a single distributed SQL engine that handles vector similarity search, transactional writes, and analytical queries together, with autoscaling compute and storage and integrations via MCP, pytidb, LangChain, and LlamaIndex.
