# Node.js
> The DuckDB Node.js client can connect to MotherDuck with an md: connection string, so JavaScript and TypeScript applications can query MotherDuck directly.
## How it works with MotherDuck

1. Install the DuckDB Node.js client in your application.
2. Create a MotherDuck access token and provide it through a connection string parameter or environment variable.
3. Open an `md:` connection and run SQL from your application code.

## Example

```javascript
import duckdb from '@duckdb/node-api';

const token = process.env.motherduck_token;
const instance = await duckdb.DuckDBInstance.create(`md:my_db?motherduck_token=${token}`);
const connection = await instance.connect();
const result = await connection.run('SELECT current_database()');
```

  "page_title": "Node.js",
  "text": "<the user's feedback, max 2000 characters>",
  "source": "<optional identifier for your interface, for example 'claude.ai' or 'chatgpt'>"
}
```

`page_path` and `text` are required; `page_title` and `source` are optional. Responses: `200 {"feedback_id": "<uuid>"}`, `400` for malformed payloads, and `429` when rate-limited.
