MCP server for PostgreSQL database operations

Project description

PostgreSQL MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PostgreSQL database operations. This server provides AI assistants with the ability to perform CRUD operations and manage PostgreSQL databases through a standardized interface.

Project Status: ✅ COMPLETED - Fully implemented, tested, and published to PyPI

Features

  • Entity CRUD Operations: Create, read, update, and delete entities in PostgreSQL tables
  • Dynamic Table Support: Work with any table in your database without pre-configuration
  • Secure Connection Management: Environment variable-based configuration with validation
  • Parameterized Queries: Protection against SQL injection attacks
  • Flexible Querying: Support for complex conditions and result limiting
  • Table Management: Create, alter, and drop tables dynamically
  • Schema Information: Get detailed table schemas and database metadata
  • Comprehensive Testing: Unit tests, integration tests, and Docker test environment

Available Tools

CRUD Operations

  • create_entity: Insert new rows into tables
  • read_entity: Query tables with optional conditions
  • update_entity: Update existing rows based on conditions
  • delete_entity: Remove rows from tables

Table Management Operations

  • create_table: Create new tables with specified schema
  • alter_table: Modify existing table structures
  • drop_table: Remove tables from database

Schema Operations

  • get_tables: Get list of all tables in the database
  • get_table_schema: Get detailed schema information for a specific table
  • get_database_info: Get database metadata and version information

Available Resources

Database Resources

  • database://tables: List of all tables in the database
  • database://info: Database metadata and version information
  • database://schema/{table_name}: Schema information for specific tables

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • PostgreSQL database (version 12 or higher)
  • uv package manager (latest version)

Installation

  1. Install from PyPI:

    uvx mcp-postgres-duwenji
    
  2. Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop): Add the server configuration to your MCP client settings using uvx:

    Claude Desktop Configuration Example:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "postgres-mcp": {
          "command": "uvx",
          "args": ["mcp-postgres-duwenji"],
          "env": {
            "POSTGRES_HOST": "localhost",
            "POSTGRES_PORT": "5432",
            "POSTGRES_DB": "your_database",
            "POSTGRES_USER": "your_username",
            "POSTGRES_PASSWORD": "your_password",
            "POSTGRES_SSL_MODE": "prefer"
          }
        }
      }
    }
    

Usage Examples

Once configured, you can use the MCP tools through your AI assistant:

Create a new user:

{
  "table_name": "users",
  "data": {
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "age": 30
  }
}

Read users with conditions:

{
  "table_name": "users",
  "conditions": {
    "age": 30
  },
  "limit": 10
}

Update user information:

{
  "table_name": "users",
  "conditions": {
    "id": 1
  },
  "updates": {
    "email": "newemail@example.com"
  }
}

Delete users:

{
  "table_name": "users",
  "conditions": {
    "id": 1
  }
}

Running the Server

To run the server directly for testing:

uvx mcp-postgres-duwenji

Code Quality Tools

This project uses comprehensive code quality tools:

  • Black: Code formatting
  • Flake8: Linting and style checking
  • MyPy: Static type checking
  • Bandit: Security scanning

See docs/code-quality-checks-guide.md and docs/linting-and-type-checking-guide.md for detailed usage instructions.

Adding New Tools

  1. Create a new tool definition in src/mcp_postgres_duwenji/tools/
  2. Add the tool handler function
  3. Register the tool in the appropriate handler function
  4. The tool will be automatically available through the MCP interface

Security Considerations

  • Always use environment variables for sensitive connection information
  • The server uses parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
  • Limit database user permissions to only necessary operations
  • Consider using SSL/TLS for database connections in production
