Install DBHub in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @bytebase/dbhub on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

If you need an enterprise-level database MCP server with built-in guardrails like approval flow, access control, data masking, and audit logging beyond what DBHub offers, check out Bytebase.

                 MCP Clients           MCP Server

DBHub is a minimal MCP server: token-efficient, zero-dependency, and just two tools by default with opt-in extras. This lightweight gateway allows MCP-compatible clients to connect to and explore different databases:

  • Minimal: Zero dependency, token efficient with a minimal set of MCP tools to maximize context window
  • Multi-Database: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, and SQLite through a single interface
  • Multi-Connection: Connect to multiple databases simultaneously with TOML configuration
  • Guardrails: Read-only mode, row limiting, and query timeout to prevent runaway operations
  • Secure Access: SSH tunneling and SSL/TLS encryption

DBHub is the official example in the Claude Code docs for connecting to PostgreSQL via MCP.

Token Efficiency

DBHub loads just 2 tools by default at 1.4k tokens — 13-14x fewer than alternatives — keeping the context window open for your actual work.

Use Cases
