agr_postgres_mcp
MCP server for interacting with PostgreSQL databases via psql. Designed for use with Claude Code as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Configuration
The server is configured entirely through environment variables:
| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
PG_HOST |
Yes | — | PostgreSQL hostname |
PG_USER |
No | postgres |
Database username |
PG_PASSWORD |
Yes | — | Database password |
PG_DATABASE |

PG_PORT |
No | 5432 |
Database port |
PG_SERVER_NAME |
No | postgres |
MCP server name (used in logs and tool prefixes) |
PSQL_PATH |
No | auto-detect | Full path to the psql binary |
If PSQL_PATH is not set, the server searches common locations:

npm run build
MCP Configuration
Add an entry to .mcp.json for each database instance:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pg-alpha": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/agr_postgres_mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"PG_SERVER_NAME": "alpha",
"PG_HOST": "your-db-host.example.com",
"PG_USER": "postgres",
"PG_PASSWORD": "your-password",
"PG_DATABASE": "your-database",
"PSQL_PATH": "/path/to/psql"
}
}
}
}
Multiple instances can be configured by adding additional entries with different PG_SERVER_NAME and PG_HOST values.
