Use case

Query a database from your AI

Give your assistant read (or write) access to Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB and friends, so it can answer questions about real data instead of guessing at your schema.

Which MCP server lets my assistant read my database?

SQLite MCP Sidecar, Ekwo OS — open source accounting: ledger, invoices and VAT on your own Supabase or Postgres and Devart MCP Server for SQLite (ADO.NET) are the strongest matches in the catalog today, ranked by how directly they address this and how well they are maintained. Connect with a read-only role first. An assistant that can DROP TABLE eventually will.

Before you pick one

  • Connect with a read-only role first. An assistant that can DROP TABLE eventually will.
  • Point it at a staging copy before production — schema exploration is chatty and can be slow on a live database.
  • Prefer servers that let you pass the connection string as an environment variable rather than baking it into the config file you commit.

Coverage note: The official Postgres, SQLite and Redis reference servers were archived by the MCP steering group, so there is no maintained first-party option. The servers below are vendor or community ones — check the health score and last commit before connecting one to real data.
