01 · Install DB Connect MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set SSH_HOST, SSH_PORT, SSH_USERNAME, SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH, SSH_PASSWORD before connecting. DATABASE_URL is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add yugui923-db-connect-mcp -- uvx db-connect-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yugui923-db-connect-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "db-connect-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
