Common questions
Is Schemacrawler AI safe?
It passed 2 of 3 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: SCHCRWLR_DATABASE_USER, SCHCRWLR_DATABASE_PASSWORD, SCHCRWLR_JDBC_URL, SCHCRWLR_ADDITIONAL_CONFIG
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 2 days ago, and the latest version (v18.0.2-1) reached the registry 2 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?
