FAQ
Which Postgres MCP server should I pick?
Start with the highest-starred option below that explicitly documents a read-only mode. If you need multiple databases or connection pooling, check the multi-database entries in the broader database category.
How do I keep the agent from running writes?
Two layers: create a Postgres role with SELECT-only grants, and choose a server with a read-only flag. Either layer alone is common; both together is the recommended setup for shared databases.
Can it explain slow queries?
Several servers expose EXPLAIN output as a tool. Combined with the agent's reasoning, that turns "why is this endpoint slow" into a concrete index suggestion — check each server's tool list on its detail page.
