What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Databases & datasets
You need to fill in: DB_TYPE, DB_DATABASE, DB_PASSWORD, DB_URL, SSH_PASSWORD

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: DB_TYPE, DB_DATABASE, DB_MODE, DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_URL, SSH_HOST, SSH_PORT, SSH_USER, SSH_KEY, SSH_PASSWORD

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "db": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "db-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DB_TYPE": "your-value",
        "DB_DATABASE": "your-value",
        "DB_MODE": "your-value",
        "DB_HOST": "your-value",
        "DB_PORT": "your-value",
        "DB_USER": "your-value",
        "DB_PASSWORD": "your-value",

        "SSH_PORT": "your-value",
        "SSH_USER": "your-value",
        "SSH_KEY": "your-value",
        "SSH_PASSWORD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add db --env DB_TYPE=your-value --env DB_DATABASE=your-value --env DB_MODE=your-value --env DB_HOST=your-value --env DB_PORT=your-value --env DB_USER=your-value --env DB_PASSWORD=your-value --env DB_URL=your-value --env SSH_HOST=your-value --env SSH_PORT=your-value --env SSH_USER=your-value --env SSH_KEY=your-value --env SSH_PASSWORD=your-value -- uvx db-mcp-server

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "db": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "db-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DB_TYPE": "your-value",
        "DB_DATABASE": "your-value",
        "DB_MODE": "your-value",

        "SSH_KEY": "your-value",
        "SSH_PASSWORD": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "db": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "db-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DB_TYPE": "your-value",
        "DB_DATABASE": "your-value",
        "DB_MODE": "your-value",

      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Common questions

Is DB MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, 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?

db-mcp-server

MCP server for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite databases. One instance per database, no Docker required.

Installation

uvx db-mcp-server

Configuration

Configure via environment variables. Each instance connects to a single database.

MySQL

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`DB_TYPE`	Yes	—	`mysql`
`DB_DATABASE`	Yes	—	Database name
`DB_PASSWORD`	Yes	—	Password
`DB_HOST`	No	`localhost`	Host
`DB_PORT`	No	`3306`	Port
`DB_USER`	No	`root`	User
`DB_MODE`	No	`read-only`	`read-only` or `read-write`

PostgreSQL

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`DB_TYPE`	Yes	—	`postgresql`
`DB_DATABASE`	Yes	—	Database name
`DB_PASSWORD`	Yes	—	Password
`DB_HOST`	No	`localhost`	Host
`DB_PORT`	No	`5432`	Port
`DB_USER`	No	`postgres`	User
`DB_MODE`	No	`read-only`	`read-only` or `read-write`

MongoDB

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`DB_TYPE`	Yes	—	`mongodb`
`DB_DATABASE`	Yes	—	Database name
`DB_URL`	Yes	—	Connection URL (`mongodb://...`)
`DB_MODE`	No	`read-only`	`read-only` or `read-write`

`DB_DATABASE`	No	filename	Display name
`DB_MODE`	No	`read-only`	`read-only` or `read-write`

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.

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`SSH_HOST`	No	—	SSH bastion host (activates tunneling)
`SSH_PORT`	No	`22`	SSH port
`SSH_USER`	No	Current OS user	SSH username
`SSH_KEY`	No	—	Path to private key (`~/.ssh/id_rsa`)
`SSH_PASSWORD`	No	—	SSH password (if no key)

At least one of SSH_KEY or SSH_PASSWORD is required when SSH_HOST is set. SSH tunneling is not supported for MongoDB.
