Dbhub MCP Server

DBHub is a minimal MCP server: token-efficient, zero-dependency, and just two tools by default with opt-in extras. 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 TypeScript.
