A side-by-side look at the PostgreSQL Performance (read Only) and Dbridge MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose PostgreSQL Performance (read Only) for databases work over a hosted endpoint; choose Dbridge MCP for databases as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
list_tables, describe_table, sample_table.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

list_tablesList every table in the database.describe_tableReturn a table's columns, primary key, foreign keys, and row-count estimate.sample_tablePreview the first rows of a table (`json`/`csv`/`markdown`).count_rowsReturn the exact row count of a table.run_queryRun a single read-only `SELECT` / `WITH` and return rows as `json`, `csv`, or `markdown`.explain_queryReturn a query's plan and estimated cost without running it.column_statsPer-column distinct-value counts and null fractions — is this column selective enough to index?index_healthList indexes with sizes and scan counts, flagging unused, duplicate, and invalid ones.test_indexSimulate a `CREATE INDEX` without building it and report whether the planner would use it (PostgreSQL, via [hypopg](https://github.com/HypoPG/hypopg)).slow_queriesThe most expensive recorded statements with call counts and timings (PostgreSQL `pg_stat_statements`, MySQL `performance_schema`).get_limitsReport the safety limits in effect (caps, timeouts, hidden/masked columns).Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
