Postgres MCP Pro
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| DATABASE_URI | Yes | Postgres database connection URI, e.g. postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/dbname | |
| OPENAI_API_KEY | No | Optional OpenAI API key for experimental index tuning by LLM |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Scored across 9 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but the two index analysis tools (analyze_query_indexes vs analyze_workload_indexes) could cause confusion as both recommend indexes, though descriptions clarify their different inputs. All other tools are clearly differentiated.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (e.g., analyze_db_health, execute_sql, list_schemas). No mixing of conventions or ambiguous verbs.
With 9 tools, the server is well-scoped for PostgreSQL management, covering health checks, index analysis, SQL execution, query explanation, and object listing. This is neither too sparse nor overwhelming.
The toolset covers core database diagnostics and performance tuning, but lacks tools for schema modification (e.g., create/drop index) or user management, which are reasonable omissions for a read-heavy diagnostic tool.
