Schema Brain MCP Server
Stop giving AI agents raw database connection strings. Give them SchemaBrain instead - a read-only trust and intelligence layer where the agent never writes SQL, PII is refused before the query runs, and every call lands in a tamper-evident audit log. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting database tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

06 · Schema Brain FAQ
What is Schema Brain?
Stop giving AI agents raw database connection strings. Give them SchemaBrain instead - a read-only trust and intelligence layer where the agent never writes SQL, PII is refused before the query runs, and every call lands in a tamper-evident audit log. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Schema Brain still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-24 and it shipped 2 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Schema Brain?
Run `uvx schemabrain`. The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Schema Brain run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
