Common questions

Is SQL MCP Server safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: DATABASE_DSN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 21 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.21) reached the registry 21 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

SQL MCP Server

The governed SQL gateway for untrusted AI agents.

面向不可信 AI Agent 的受控 SQL 数据访问网关。通过显式 Entity、关系代数 IR 和参数化 codegen 访问 PostgreSQL、MySQL 与 OceanBase，受治理面不接受任意 SQL，不提供 DDL。可信操作者另有独立的 SQL 逃生通道 execute_sql：默认关闭，只对被显式授予 sql:execute@<数据源> 的用户可见，走单独声明的连接，受硬上限与写入失败即拒绝的审计约束（见安全模型）。

核心差异

确定性执行：Agent 只能组合受控工具和白名单 IR；
字段与行治理：RBAC、字段 ACL、row policy 和 mask 统一强制；
成本可控：EXPLAIN 预筛、结果上限、超时和 session/tenant 预算；
默认拒绝：安全能力无法证明时 fail closed；
可审计：配置热重载、异步审计和 OpenTelemetry hook。

运行时安全行为以安全模型为准；Provider 验证边界与证据层级以兼容矩阵为准；威胁、控制与剩余风险见威胁模型。所有对外声明的证据汇总见架构、安全边界与证据索引。不以本页摘要为准。

五分钟体验

只需 Docker 与 Docker Compose：

docker compose -f examples/quickstart/compose.yaml up -d --wait

curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8080/healthz

完整的 MCP Inspector 调用、tenant 隔离、mask 和拒绝场景见五分钟快速体验。

安装与接入

源码构建要求 Go 1.26.10+ 和一个已验证数据库版本：

git clone https://github.com/nethinwei/sql-mcp-server.git

cd sql-mcp-server make build

Cursor、Claude Desktop 和 VS Code 的 stdio 模板： examples/clients/（核对结论见客户端接入核对）；
完整配置模板：examples/config.example.yaml；
CLI、启动、热重载、容器部署和升级：运行与运维；
Web 管理控制台与 Docker Compose 部署：管理控制台；
魔搭分发展示：ModelScope 上架与使用。
