Works with Claude, with some setup first

You need a DB MCP Server key (sign up on the maker’s site, may cost money) · Install Python (uv) on your computer first (one time) · Only the Claude desktop app (Windows or Mac), not the web or phone

Install Python (uv)
One time only; it works for every server that needs Python (uv)
Open the Python (uv) download page ↗
Done
Sign up and create a DB MCP Server key
Open the maker’s site, sign up and create an API key for the next step. It may cost money.

Common questions

Is DB MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 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: DB_TYPE, DB_DATABASE, DB_PASSWORD, DB_URL, SSH_PASSWORD

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 8 months ago, and the latest version (1.2.1) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

SSH Tunnel (MySQL / PostgreSQL)

Optionally connect through an SSH bastion host. Set SSH_HOST to activate.

For SQLite over SSH, the remote .db file is downloaded via SFTP before querying. In read-write mode, changes are uploaded back on shutdown.
