Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Schemabrain Arun-kc Databases	Lintbase MCP lintbase Databases
Summary	Read-only trust layer for Postgres: the agent never writes SQL — twelve tools compile it from definitions you control, PII and secret categories are refused before the query runs, and every call lands in a tamper-evident SHA-256 audit chain.	Ground-truth Firestore schema context for AI coding agents. Stops Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf from hallucinating field names and queries. Scans live collections, returns real field names, types, and presence rates.
