20 Best PostgreSQL MCP Servers, Compared (August 2026)

Updated 20 of 1,041 PostgreSQL servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

Most readers should reach for Postgres MCP (crystaldba/postgres-mcp). It is a community-favourite server built for tuning and diagnosing PostgreSQL performance, with EXPLAIN plans, index recommendations, and health checks, and its tool descriptions are graded A. It had a commit 4 days ago. If your job is read-only production monitoring of locks, WAL, replication, bloat, and autovacuum, MCP PostgreSQL Operations is the better fit because it exposes 34 tools covering exactly those areas.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works — a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account — and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about PostgreSQL — named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it — whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular — People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite — Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant — Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging — Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady — Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

    pgEdge/pgedge-postgres-mcp ↗

    Best for: Internal developer workflows on PostgreSQL 14 and higher — its natural language agent turns natural language into SQL queries.

    The server enables SQL queries against PostgreSQL databases through MCP-compatible clients and includes a natural language agent that forms SQL from natural language. Before choosing it, know that it is not for public-facing applications, since it gives LLMs read access to your entire database schema and data.

    PostgreSQL MCP Server

    Community favourite
    HenkDz/postgresql-mcp-server ↗

    Best for: PostgreSQL admins who need secure defaults — it starts readonly and gates writes behind explicit security-mode flags.

    The server exposes 18 tools covering database analysis, schema management, triggers, indexes, row-level security, user management, query execution, and data import/export. It defaults to readonly mode, so mutations, DDL, and arbitrary SQL require --security-mode flags and --allow-destructive for destructive operations.

    DBCode

    Community favourite
    dbcodeio/public ↗

    Best for: PostgreSQL developers already working in VS Code — an MCP server bundled with the extension exposes schema access and query execution in the editor.

    DBCode is a VS Code extension that can run an MCP server, giving access to configured databases, their schemas, and query execution. Worth knowing: it ships as part of the editor extension, so choosing it means adopting the VS Code-family host along with the server.

    Postgres MCP Server

    Abandoned but popular
    ericzakariasson/pg-mcp-server ↗

    Best for: Production databases where writes must be opt-in — write operations stay disabled by default behind the DANGEROUSLY_ALLOW_WRITE_OPS environment variable.

    The server ships a query tool for executing SQL alongside resources that list all tables or return a table's schema with sample data, over stdio or a Streamable HTTP endpoint. It installs as an npm package launched through npx, so it assumes a Node.js runtime and a database reachable via DATABASE_URL.

    Best for: Managing several database types from an AI assistant — 12 tools cover schemas, queries, explain plans, audits and diffs, with writes gated behind a confirm step.

    The server exposes 12 tools that list connections and schemas, describe tables, run queries, explain plans, audit data quality, diff schemas, generate ERDs, and confirm pending writes. Note that write queries are not executed immediately — they first appear in a pending list and must be confirmed through whodb_confirm.

    googleapis/mcp-toolbox ↗

    Best for: Production database access from IDEs and AI assistants — it provides prebuilt `list_tables` and `execute_sql` tools with integrated IAM authentication.

    It connects AI clients and IDEs to databases through prebuilt tools like list_tables and execute_sql, plus a framework for custom tools with restricted access and structured queries. Its exposed tools have not been inspected, and the quick-start command depends on an @toolbox-sdk/server npm package that was not found published.

    This server implements MCP over SSE and exposes read-only SQL, query explain, and schema, table, column, and extension resources, along with YAML context for PostGIS and pgvector. It requires Python 3.13+ and has no npm package, so installation uses Docker or local Python setup with uv.

    Best for: PostgreSQL upgrade planning — it exposes eight tools to query CVEs, yanked releases, and upgrade paths for any version.

    pg-cve-mcp exposes eight tools for querying PostgreSQL CVE data, yanked releases, known exploits, and upgrade paths, returning structured JSON sorted by CVSS. It relies on the curated PG_CVE dataset fetched from GitHub Pages, so it assumes network access at runtime and is a security-intelligence lookup rather than a direct database client.

    dbx

    Community favourite
    t8y2/dbx ↗

    Best for: For PostgreSQL users who want natural language queries, it provides an MCP server connecting to a database manager with that capability.

    It provides an MCP interface to the DBX database manager, which supports natural language queries and database management. Its MCP tool list is not documented, so the exact operations are unknown until the server is run.

    mcp-server-db

    Emerging
    Nam088/mcp-db-server ↗

    Best for: Teams needing Postgres read-only querying plus Redis/Elasticsearch access in one MCP server — per-connection read-only mode keeps production writes blocked.

    mcp-server-db exposes 100 measured tools, including read-only Postgres queries, schema introspection, maintenance utilities, and Redis/Elasticsearch operations, with per-connection read-only mode and reconnect/retry handling. Its README documents a larger tool API than the measured package exposes, so a tool listed there may not be present after install.

    Aiven MCP Server

    Steady
    Aiven-Open/mcp-aiven ↗

    Best for: Aiven PostgreSQL users who want an AI assistant to list their projects and services — it exposes list_projects, list_services, and get_service_details.

    It exposes three tools — list_projects, list_services, and get_service_details — for browsing Aiven projects and services, and documents hosted HTTP, local stdio, and local development setups. Before choosing it, note that access is governed by the permissions of the authenticated Aiven account.

Questions people ask

Which server should I pick for PostgreSQL performance tuning?

For EXPLAIN plans, index recommendations, and health checks, use Postgres MCP (crystaldba/postgres-mcp). It is a community-favourite profile, its tool descriptions are graded A, and it had a commit 4 days ago. If your focus is ongoing production monitoring rather than query tuning, MCP PostgreSQL Operations is the read-only monitoring option with 34 tools for locks, WAL, replication, bloat, and autovacuum.

Is PostgreSQL MCP Server (HenkDz/postgresql-mcp-server) safe to point at production?

It starts readonly and gates writes behind explicit security-mode flags, so its default posture is read-only. It exposes 18 tools and its tool descriptions are graded B. Its last commit was 58 days ago, with 12 commits in the last 12 weeks. Keep the write flags off unless you intentionally need them.

Which server should I use if I need Postgres plus other databases?

mcp-server-db (Nam088/mcp-db-server) supports Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, MySQL, MongoDB, and LDAP, and it measured 100 tools with read-only safety. It had a commit 0 days ago and 31 commits in the last 12 weeks. That makes it a strong option when you want one MCP server for several database types.

What is the difference between Postgres MCP and Postgres MCP Server?

Postgres MCP (crystaldba/postgres-mcp) is the performance-focused server; it exposes EXPLAIN plans, index recommendations, and health checks, and it is a community favourite. Postgres MCP Server (ericzakariasson/pg-mcp-server) is a separate npm package (pg-mcp-server) that keeps writes disabled by default behind DANGEROUSLY_ALLOW_WRITE_OPS, but it has had no commits in the last 12 weeks and its last commit was 289 days ago.

What does Aiven MCP Server actually cover?

Aiven MCP Server is scoped to Aiven service management: its measured tools are list_projects, list_services, and get_service_details. Its tool description grade is D, and it had a commit 11 days ago. If you need actual SQL against a PostgreSQL database, use a Postgres querying server instead.

Should I use a server marked Abandoned but popular?

The three servers marked Abandoned but popular here — Postgres MCP Server (ericzakariasson/pg-mcp-server), Universal DB MCP, and pg-mcp-server (stuzero/pg-mcp-server) — all have 0 commits in the last 12 weeks, with last commits 289, 156, and 344 days ago. They may still be popular, but they are not actively developed. If you want recent maintenance, Postgres MCP (crystaldba/postgres-mcp) had a commit 4 days ago and MCP PostgreSQL Operations had a commit 21 days ago.
