Pgmcp Overview

The subnetmarco/pgmcp MCP server connects MCP-compatible clients to an existing PostgreSQL database through natural-language questions. It can generate SQL with OpenAI, enforce read-only access, stream large result sets, search text columns, and return table, JSON, or CSV output. The server exposes HTTP MCP access at a configurable endpoint and can run with precompiled binaries, Docker, or from source. Reach for it when an AI assistant needs to inspect or query PostgreSQL data without modifying the database schema.
