OmniSQL MCP

Universal database MCP server — give AI assistants read/write access to your databases using connections already saved in your local DB client workspace (DBeaver-compatible).

Database Support

Natively supported (direct driver, fast):

• PostgreSQL (via pg)
• MySQL / MariaDB (via mysql2)
• SQL Server / MSSQL (via mssql)
• SQLite (via sqlite3 CLI)

Postgres-compatible (routed through pg driver automatically):

• CockroachDB, TimescaleDB, Amazon Redshift, YugabyteDB, AlloyDB, Supabase, Neon, Citus

Other databases: Fall back to an external CLI configured via OMNISQL_CLI_PATH. Results vary by CLI.

Features

• Reuses connections already configured in your local DB client workspace — no duplicate setup
• Native query execution for PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, SQL Server
• Connection pooling with configurable pool size and timeouts
• Transaction support (BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK)
• Query execution plan analysis (EXPLAIN)
• Schema comparison between connections with migration script generation
• Read-only mode with enforced SELECT-only on execute_query
• Connection whitelist to restrict which databases are accessible
• Tool filtering to disable specific operations
• Query validation to block dangerous operations (DROP DATABASE, TRUNCATE, DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE)
• Data export to CSV/JSON
• Graceful shutdown with connection pool cleanup

Available Tools

Connection Management

• list_connections - List all database connections
• get_connection_info - Get connection details
• test_connection - Test connectivity

Data Operations

• execute_query - Run read-only queries (SELECT, EXPLAIN, SHOW, DESCRIBE only)
• write_query - Run INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
• export_data - Export to CSV/JSON

Schema Management

• list_tables - List tables and views
• get_table_schema - Get table structure
• create_table - Create tables
• alter_table - Modify tables
• drop_table - Drop tables (requires confirmation)

Transactions

• begin_transaction - Start a new transaction
• execute_in_transaction - Execute query within a transaction
• commit_transaction - Commit a transaction
• rollback_transaction - Roll back a transaction

Query Analysis

• explain_query - Analyze query execution plan
• compare_schemas - Compare schemas between two connections
• get_pool_stats - Get connection pool statistics

Other

• get_database_stats - Database statistics
• append_insight - Store analysis notes
• list_insights - Retrieve stored notes

Security

• Read-only enforcement: execute_query only accepts read-only statements (SELECT, EXPLAIN, SHOW, DESCRIBE, PRAGMA). Write operations must use write_query.
• Query validation: Blocks DROP DATABASE, DROP SCHEMA, TRUNCATE, DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE, GRANT, REVOKE, and user management statements.
• Connection whitelist: Restrict which connections are exposed via OMNISQL_ALLOWED_CONNECTIONS.
• Tool filtering: Disable any tool via OMNISQL_DISABLED_TOOLS.
• Input sanitization: Connection IDs and SQL identifiers are sanitized to prevent injection.
• Recommendation: For production use, also use a database-level read-only user for defense in depth.

Workspace Format Support

Supports both configuration formats written by DBeaver-compatible DB clients:

• Legacy: XML config in .metadata/.plugins/org.jkiss.dbeaver.core/
• Modern: JSON config in General/.dbeaver/

Credentials are automatically decrypted from the workspace credentials-config.json.

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnisql": {
      "command": "omnisql-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnisql": {
      "command": "omnisql-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to Cursor Settings > MCP Servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnisql": {
      "command": "omnisql-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Read-Only Mode

Blocks all write operations. The execute_query tool only allows SELECT, EXPLAIN, SHOW, and DESCRIBE statements. Transaction tools are disabled entirely.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnisql": {
      "command": "omnisql-mcp",
      "env": {
        "OMNISQL_READ_ONLY": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Connection Whitelist

Restrict which workspace connections are visible. Accepts connection IDs or display names, comma-separated:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnisql": {
      "command": "omnisql-mcp",
      "env": {
        "OMNISQL_ALLOWED_CONNECTIONS": "dev-postgres,staging-mysql"
      }
    }
  }
}

Disable Specific Tools

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omnisql": {
      "command": "omnisql-mcp",
      "env": {
        "OMNISQL_DISABLED_TOOLS": "drop_table,alter_table,write_query"
      }
    }
  }
