Database Admin
Let your agent inspect PostgreSQL or MySQL schemas and tune queries while you build and debug backend features.
Overview
Database Admin MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that provides schema inspection and query optimization for PostgreSQL and MySQL via MCP.
What is this MCP server?
- Schema inspection and query optimization for PostgreSQL and MySQL
- npm package database-admin-mcp v1.0.1 with stdio transport
- DATABASE_URL connection string (postgresql://…) as primary configuration
- Open-source repo database-mcp-server on GitHub for review
- Agent-guided DBA tasks without leaving the coding session
- Supports PostgreSQL and MySQL
- Package version 1.0.1
- Registry identifier database-admin-mcp
What problem does it solve?
You lose flow jumping between SQL GUI tools and chat when the agent could not see schema or explain query plans safely.
Who is it for?
Solo builders on Postgres or MySQL who want agent-assisted schema exploration and performance tuning during feature work.
Skip if: Teams on Mongo-only stacks, warehouses without SQL admin needs, or production changes without human review of destructive SQL.
What do I get? / Deliverables
With DATABASE_URL configured, your agent can inspect schemas and suggest query optimizations aligned to your live Postgres or MySQL instance.
- Agent-visible schema metadata for Postgres/MySQL
- Query optimization guidance grounded in your connected database
