Database MCP server for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite with SSH tunneling support. Its 9 documented tools cluster into read & search, run & execute, aggregate, my sql. 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.

01 · Install DB MCP Server

before you install - you'll need

Set DB_TYPE, DB_PATH, SSH_HOST, SSH_USER, SSH_KEY, DB_MODE, DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add stucchi-db-mcp-server -- uvx db-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stucchi-db-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "db-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package db-mcp-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.stucchi is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What DB MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can execute read-only SQL (SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN, WITH), execute write SQL (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) - requires DB_MODE=read-write, describe table structure, and list all tables.

What can DB MCP Server do?

How do I install DB MCP Server?

Run `uvx db-mcp-server`. The README documents 11 environment variables (DB_TYPE, DB_PATH, SSH_HOST…) to set first. Set DB_TYPE, DB_PATH, SSH_HOST, SSH_USER, SSH_KEY, DB_MODE, DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does DB MCP Server 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.
