Postgres MCP
The gold standard for Postgres MCP servers. Explicit transactions, EXPLAIN output, and read-only mode make this the production-safe choice.
Database servers let models run queries, introspect schemas, and modify rows through the MCP protocol. The serious ones handle transaction boundaries, read-only modes, and schema introspection as first-class features. Use this page to separate them.
