PostgreSQL MCP Server

MCP

We set up and configure a PostgreSQL MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for your environment — letting AI assistants like Claude or Cursor connect directly to your database, read live query plans, and inspect pg_stat_statements.

The result: your AI assistant stops guessing about your database and starts working with actual evidence — the same query plans and statistics we'd look at ourselves, not a general impression of what a database "usually" looks like.

Model Context ProtocolClaude / Cursorlive schema access
What's covered
  • Scoped, read-only access — the assistant sees what it needs, nothing more
  • Configuration for your specific PostgreSQL version and extensions
  • Guidance on what to ask it, and where its answers still need a human check

Database Knowledge RAG

RAG

Generic AI models give generic database answers — often wrong for your specific PostgreSQL version, cloud provider, or workload. We build a retrieval-augmented generation layer grounded in accurate PostgreSQL documentation, your own runbooks, and curated expert knowledge.

Your team gets an assistant that actually knows your stack — not one that hallucinates a pg_tune-style recommendation that happens to be wrong for your major version or your managed-cloud provider's specific limitations.

What's covered
  • A retrieval index built from official docs plus your internal runbooks
  • Answers scoped to your actual PostgreSQL version and platform
  • Ongoing updates as your environment and the documentation change

AI-Assisted Performance Review

Assisted

We combine our manual diagnosis with AI-powered pattern matching across your query history, wait events, and configuration drift. This lets us surface problems faster — not replace the engineer who knows what to do with them.

Think of it as a force multiplier: the same expert depth, with better visibility across your entire workload at once — useful when the volume of queries or the number of instances makes manual review alone too slow.

What's covered
  • Automated pattern detection across pg_stat_statements history
  • Drift alerts when configuration diverges from an agreed baseline
  • A human engineer reviews and prioritises what the pattern matching surfaces
WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE

AI proposes, an engineer decides

Every AI-assisted recommendation is reviewed by one of us before it reaches you. We don't relay a model's output as-is — if we wouldn't sign off on it ourselves, it doesn't go out under our name.

We know where models are unreliable

We've spent time benchmarking AI recommendations against real workloads. Some of it holds up; a meaningful amount doesn't, especially anything touching write-path parameters, replication behaviour, or version-specific quirks. We tell you which is which rather than presenting all of it with equal confidence.

Read-only access by default

Any AI tooling we set up against your database defaults to read-only, scoped access. If a change needs to happen, a person makes that call and applies it — not an autonomous process against your production system.

Curious where this fits for you?

Whether it's setting up an MCP server for your own team's AI tools or getting a second opinion on something an assistant already suggested, we're happy to talk it through.
