Best MCP servers for Databases & SQL
8 entries in the AgentTask Atlas catalog fit databases & sql. They are not ranked by a score: the table lists active entries first, then by how many clients document a setup, and each row ends with our one-line verdict on when to pick it. Official sources last checked 2026-10-19.
- No credentials needed: none — every entry here needs some account, key or connection string.
- Offers a hosted/remote option: AWS MCP Servers, Neon MCP Server, Supabase MCP
- Most documented clients: VS Code (6), Cursor (5), GitHub Copilot (5), Claude Code (4), Claude Desktop (3), Windsurf (2).
| Name | Type | Credentials | License | Clients | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS MCP Servers AWS Labs | MCP server | Required | Apache-2.0 | 7 | Pick the specific AWS server you need; the docs server needs no credentials, others use your IAM profile. |
| MCP Toolbox for Databases Google | MCP server | Required | Apache-2.0 | 4 | Pick it to explore schemas and run SQL from the agent across many databases (Postgres, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Spanner and others); prefer custom toolsets when you need restricted queries in production. |
| MongoDB MCP Server MongoDB | MCP server | Required | Apache-2.0 | 4 | Pick it for MongoDB or Atlas queries; enable the documented read-only mode for exploration. |
| Neon MCP Server Neon | MCP server | Required | MIT | 4 | Pick it to manage Neon branches and run SQL; it acts with your account's rights. |
| Redis MCP Server Redis | MCP server | Required | MIT | 4 | Pick it to let the agent inspect or cache data in Redis; connect it with a read-only ACL user unless writes are intended. |
| Elasticsearch MCP Server (deprecated) Elastic | MCP server | Required | Apache-2.0 | 3 | Avoid for new setups: the official README marks it deprecated; use it only on existing installs. |
| Microsoft MCP (Azure MCP Server) Microsoft | MCP server | Required | MIT | 3 | Pick it for Azure resources from the agent; it acts with your signed-in identity and RBAC. |
| Supabase MCP Supabase | MCP server | Required | Apache-2.0 | 2 | Pick it for Supabase SQL and migrations; use the documented read-only and project-scoped modes. |
