MCP Toolbox for Databases
⚠ No independent security audit: entries summarize official sources only. Review permissions and code before installing.
- Type
- MCP server
- Tasks
- Databases & SQL
- Compatible agents
- Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Codex, Google Antigravity (source: clients named with MCP configuration instructions in the official README (Gemini CLI has dedicated install steps; others are listed for the prebuilt MCP server))
- Verdict
- 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.
- Permissions
- Runs database tools you configure (prebuilt generic tools such as list_tables/execute_sql, or custom toolsets): can read schemas and run SQL against the connected sources with the credentials you give the Toolbox process.
- Credentials
- Database connection env vars for the chosen prebuilt source (see Prebuilt Tools Reference); Google Cloud sources can use Application Default Credentials / IAM.
- Maintenance
- Release v1.14.0 on 2026-10-08; last commit 2026-10-15
- License
- Apache-2.0
- Install
