Domain knowledge for PostgreSQL — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

PostgreSQL

Connection string (host, port, database, user, password). Parameterized reads return table rows plus stable resource handles for follow-up single-row access. Resource id format: postgres:row:{schema}.{table}:{pk_col}:{pk_val}.

Data Model

  • Tables — relational storage for records.
  • Parameterized reads — safe, argument-bound queries that emit row payloads and resource handles.
  • SQL execution — ad hoc DDL/DML, including batched statement bundles.
  • Schema intelligence — foreign keys, routines, triggers, and dependency graphs.
  • Performance — plans, statistics, index health, and contention signals.
  • Data quality — profiling, duplicate detection, constraint validation, anomaly scans.

Gotchas

  • Row handles: Reuse postgres:row:schema.table:pk_col:pk_val from read results when you need a precise refetch.
  • Read-only paths vs mutating SQL: Prefer guarded read paths for exploration; wrap destructive statements in explicit transactions.
  • Change rehearsal: Dry-run style previews exist for risky DML—use them before committing bulk updates.
  • Local databases: Reach localhost through the desktop proxy tunnel or a connection string that targets loopback from the execution environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PostgreSQL MCP server?

All PostgreSQL tools It provides 38 tools that AI agents can use through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

How do I connect PostgreSQL to my AI agent?

Add the MCPBundles server URL to your MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.). The URL format is: https://mcp.mcpbundles.com/bundle/postgres. Authentication is handled automatically.

How many tools does PostgreSQL provide?

PostgreSQL provides 38 tools that can be called by AI agents, along with a SKILL.md that gives your AI agent domain knowledge about when and how to use them.

What authentication does PostgreSQL require?

PostgreSQL uses API Key. PostgreSQL requires credentials. Connect via MCPBundles and authentication is handled automatically.

Setup Instructions

Connect PostgreSQL to any MCP client in minutes
