The DBX MCP server is a Rust-powered Model Context Protocol implementation that enables AI coding agents to query databases using connections configured in the DBX database client. It supports over 80 database types including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, DuckDB, and many others, providing read-only, safe write, and full access modes. The server works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent, allowing developers to give AI assistants direct, controlled access to their databases without manual copy-paste workflows.

dbx — FAQ
What is the DBX MCP server?+
The DBX MCP server is a standalone Rust application that exposes database connections configured in DBX to AI coding agents via the Model Context Protocol. It allows AI assistants to query your databases with configurable permission levels.
How do I install the DBX MCP server?+
Run 'npx -y @dbx-app/mcp-server' and add it to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop's .mcp.json). Alternatively, download precompiled native binaries from the GitHub releases page for offline use.
Which AI clients work with the DBX MCP server?+
The DBX MCP server works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and any other MCP-compatible AI coding agent or assistant.
Do I need API keys or the DBX desktop app installed?+
You need DBX Desktop installed to configure database connections, or access to a DBX Web/Docker instance. No separate API keys are required for the MCP server itself—it uses your existing DBX connection profiles.
Is the DBX MCP server free?+
Yes, the DBX MCP server is free and open source under the Apache-2.0 license, distributed separately from the DBX desktop application.
How do I control which databases AI agents can access?+
Use the connection allowlist and permission modes (read-only, safe write, full access) in DBX Settings → MCP. You can restrict which connections are exposed and what operations are permitted.
How do I install dbx?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. dbx is a mcp server — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is dbx free?+
dbx is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
