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
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/postgres-mcp.git cd postgres-mcp
-
Install dependencies:
go mod download
-
Configure your database connection:
cp .env.example .env
Edit the
.env
file with your PostgreSQL database credentials. -
Build the server:
go build -o postgres-mcp
-
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", "jane@example.com"]
}
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": "john@example.com"
}
],
"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", "alice@example.com"],
[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
