PostgreSQL MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides an interface to interact with PostgreSQL databases. It allows you to execute queries, perform database operations, and manage transactions through a standardized API.

Features

  • Execute SQL queries with parameterized inputs
  • Perform database operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
  • Execute transactions with multiple statements
  • Retrieve database schema information
  • Secure parameter handling to prevent SQL injection

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/postgres-mcp.git
    cd postgres-mcp
    
  2. Install dependencies:

    go mod download
    
  3. Configure your database connection:

    cp .env.example .env
    

    Edit the .env file with your PostgreSQL database credentials.

  4. Build the server:

    go build -o postgres-mcp
    
  5. Run the server:

    ./postgres-mcp
    

Usage

The server exposes the following MCP tools:

1. execute_tool

Executes a single SQL statement.

Request:

{
  "statement": "INSERT INTO users(name, email) VALUES($1, $2)",
  "arguments": ["Jane Doe", "[email protected]"]
}

Response:

{
  "rows affected": 1
}

2. query_tool

Executes a SELECT query and returns the results.

Request:

{
  "statement": "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1",
  "arguments": [1]
}

Response:

{
  "rows": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "John Doe",
      "email": "[email protected]"
    }
  ],
  "columns": ["id", "name", "email"],
  "rowCount": 1
}

3. transaction_tool

Executes multiple statements in a transaction.

Request:

{
  "statements": [
    "INSERT INTO users(name, email) VALUES($1, $2)",
    "INSERT INTO user_roles(user_id, role) VALUES($1, $2)"
  ],
  "arguments": [
    ["Alice", "[email protected]"],
    [1, "admin"]
  ]
}

Response:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "statement": 0,
      "rowsAffected": 1
    },
    {
      "statement": 1,
      "rowsAffected": 1
    }
  ]
}

4. schema_tool

Retrieves schema information for a table.

Request:

{
  "table_name": "users"
}

Response:

{
  "table": "users",
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "id",
      "type": "integer",
      "nullable": false,
      "default": "nextval('users_id_seq'::regclass)"
    },
    {
      "name": "name",
      "type": "character varying",
      "nullable": false,
      "default": null
    },
    {
      "name": "email",
      "type": "character varying",
      "nullable": false,
      "default": null
    }
  ]
}

Client Example

Here's an example of how to use the MCP client to interact with the server:

package main

import (
 "encoding/json"
 "fmt"
 "log"

 "github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go/client"
)

func main() {
 // Create a new MCP client
 c := client.NewClient("http://localhost:8080")

 // Prepare a query request
 queryReq := map[string]interface{}{
  "statement": "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1",
  "arguments": []interface{}{1},
 }

 // Execute the query
 resp, err := c.Execute("query_tool", queryReq)
 if err != nil {
  log.Fatalf("Failed to execute query: %v", err)
 }

 // Print the response
 prettyJSON, _ := json.MarshalIndent(resp.Data, "", "  ")
 fmt.Println(string(prettyJSON))
}

Security Considerations

  • Always use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks
  • Limit database user permissions to only what is necessary
  • Use SSL/TLS for database connections in production
  • Implement proper authentication and authorization for the MCP server
