Quick start · Tools · Security model · Offline install · Docs · Landing page · Report a vulnerability
Give AI agents read-only access to your databases, safely. universal-db-mcp is an MCP server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client discover, document, profile, search and query the databases you declare, and nothing else. Every statement is parsed before it runs and must be a single read; it runs on a read-only session, columns that look sensitive are masked, and every call is audited. Writes are refused, not discouraged. The server never calls an LLM, sends no telemetry and installs nothing at runtime, so it also runs on networks with no internet access at all.
Status: hardened through a production security review and three follow-up code reviews (2026-09/10). IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md is the honest ledger of what is implemented, what is verified and how, and what is still open; claims here are limited to what its gates and test-evidence/ demonstrate.
