About

MCP server for PostgreSQL. Read-only by default, row caps, timeouts, secrets never logged.

Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.

Cursor

Add to Cursor

If the button doesn't open Cursor, use the JSON below — Cursor accepts the same mcpServers config.

Environment variables are listed by name only — fill in your own values. Entries never carry secrets.
