Safedb MCP Overview

SafeDB MCP lets AI agents inspect database schemas and run validated read-only queries against Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, or SQLite. It restricts visible tables, parses SQL, caps results, masks configured PII fields, and records query attempts without raw result data. Use it when agents need database access under explicit table and query policies.
