DBCode Overview

The DBCode MCP server gives AI agents access to database connections configured in DBCode. Its built-in MCP tools support data queries, schema questions, query generation, and table creation, with permissions controlled per connection. DBCode works inside VS Code and Cursor and can connect external agents such as Claude Code. Reach for it when an agent needs database access without maintaining separate connection settings.
