remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Integrations

  • Provides read-only access to PostgreSQL databases, allowing LLMs to inspect database schemas and execute read-only queries against connected PostgreSQL databases

PostgreSQL

A Model Context Protocol server that provides read-only access to PostgreSQL databases. This server enables LLMs to inspect database schemas and execute read-only queries.

Components

Tools

  • query
    • Execute read-only SQL queries against the connected database

  • Table Schemas (postgres://<host>/<table>/schema)
    • JSON schema information for each table
    • Includes column names and data types
    • Automatically discovered from database metadata

Usage with Claude Desktop

To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your claude_desktop_config.json:

Docker

  • when running docker on macos, use host.docker.internal if the server is running on the host network (eg localhost)
  • username/password can be added to the postgresql url with postgresql://user:password@host:port/db-name
{ "mcpServers": { "postgres": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/postgres", "postgresql://host.docker.internal:5432/mydb"] } } }

NPX

{ "mcpServers": { "postgres": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres", "postgresql://localhost/mydb" ] } } }

Replace /mydb with your database name.
