                 MCP Clients           MCP Server             Databases

DBHub is a Universal Database MCP Server implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface. This gateway allows MCP-compatible clients to connect to and explore different databases:

• Universal Gateway: Single interface for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and SQLite
• Secure Access: Read-only mode, SSH tunneling, and SSL/TLS encryption support
• Multi-Database: Connect to multiple databases simultaneously with TOML configuration
• Production-Ready: Row limiting, lock timeout control, and connection pooling
• MCP Native: Full implementation of Model Context Protocol with comprehensive tools

Supported Databases

PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, and SQLite.

MCP Tools

DBHub implements MCP tools for database operations:

• execute_sql: Execute SQL queries with transaction support and safety controls
• search_objects: Search and explore database schemas, tables, columns, indexes, and procedures with progressive disclosure
• Custom Tools: Define reusable, parameterized SQL operations in your dbhub.toml configuration file

Installation

See the full Installation Guide for detailed instructions.

Quick Start

Docker:

docker run --rm --init \
   --name dbhub \
   --publish 8080:8080 \
   bytebase/dbhub \
   --transport http \
   --port 8080 \
   --dsn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable"

NPM:

npx @bytebase/dbhub --transport http --port 8080 --dsn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable"

Demo Mode:

npx @bytebase/dbhub --transport http --port 8080 --demo

See Server Options for all available parameters.

Multi-Database Setup

Connect to multiple databases simultaneously using TOML configuration files. Perfect for managing production, staging, and development databases from a single DBHub instance.

See Multi-Database Configuration for complete setup instructions.

Development

1. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

2. Run in development mode:

   pnpm dev

3. Build for production:

   pnpm build
   pnpm start --transport stdio --dsn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable"

Testing

See TESTING.md.
