Provides tools for querying, executing write operations (in read-write mode), describing table structure, listing tables, and checking connection status for MySQL databases. Provides tools for querying, executing write operations (in read-write mode), describing table structure via information_schema, listing tables in the public schema, and checking connection status for PostgreSQL databases. Provides tools for querying, executing write operations (in read-write mode), describing table structure via PRAGMA table_info, listing tables, and checking connection status for SQLite databases.

How do I use db-mcp-server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@db-mcp-server show me the users table schema" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

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`

SQLite

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`DB_TYPE`	Yes	—	`sqlite`
`DB_PATH`	Yes	—	Path to `.db` file (local or remote with SSH)
`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.
