Dbridge tools (7, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
count_rowsReturns the exact number of rows in a table.
describe_tableReturns the columns of a table (name, type, nullability). Use it before writing a query.
explain_queryReturns the query plan and estimated cost without running the query. Use it to check a query is cheap before running it.
get_limitsReturns the safety limits in effect (row cap, timeout, cost/rate limits, hidden and masked columns, table allow/block lists).
list_tablesLists every table in the connected database. Call this first to discover what data is available.
run_querywrite actionRuns a single read-only SELECT or WITH statement and returns the rows as JSON. Writes are rejected and results are capped.
sample_tableReturns the first rows of a table as a quick preview, to understand the data before querying.

What the publisher says
From the Dbridge repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
dbridge-mcp
An MCP server that lets an AI agent query a SQL database in plain language — safely and read-only.
=22.5">
The agent discovers the schema on its own (listtables, describetable), then writes and runs a SELECT for whatever the user asks. No hand-written endpoint per question.
Works with SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL / MariaDB.
Why
A raw LLM cannot know what is inside your database, and web search cannot reach private data. dbridge gives the model a guarded door to that data: it can read and answer, but it cannot write, drop, or leak the whole table.
Why dbridge and not another database MCP?
There are many database MCP servers. dbridge is built around one idea — you should be able to point an AI at a real database without holding your breath — and that shows up as a combination the single-engine servers don't offer:
- One server, three engines. SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL/MariaDB behind the same tools and the same config. Switch databases by changing the connection string, not the tooling.
- Read-only twice over. A SQL guard rejects anything but SELECT/WITH and every query runs inside a database-enforced READ ONLY transaction — so even a query that outsmarts the guard cannot write.
- Column-level privacy. Hide columns from the model entirely, or mask values (a***@site.com) while keeping them queryable. Most servers expose whatever the connection can see.
- Blast-radius controls. Row caps enforced over user-supplied LIMITs, per-query timeouts, EXPLAIN-based cost rejection for expensive queries, per-minute rate limits, and a capped connection pool.
- No native build step. SQLite uses Node's built-in node:sqlite, so npx -y dbridge-mcp works without a compiler toolchain.
- Performance insight, not just queries. columnstats and indexhealth give the model real cardinality and index-usage data, and test_index simulates an index with hypopg before anyone builds it — so the model's optimization advice is grounded in the actual database instead of guesswork.
If all you need is "run SQL from my agent", plenty of servers do that. dbridge is for pointing an agent at data you actually care about.

Dbridge: common questions
- Is Dbridge MCP server safe?
- Yes, by our scan: it is graded A (88/100). Read the Dbridge safety report
- How do I install Dbridge?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Dbridge need an API key?
- No secret keys are declared. It reads 1 setting from the environment.
- Is Dbridge maintained?
- The last commit was 122 days ago (2026-07-05). The latest release is v0.7.1.
- What can I use instead of Dbridge?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: DBHub MCP server, Faucet MCP server and NeoSQL MCP server.
- How does Dbridge compare with other Databases MCP servers?
- safety score 88/100 (higher than 75% of 802 Databases servers); tools 7 (the typical Databases server has 8); tools that change things 14% (typical: 10%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
