SmartDB
SmartDB is a universal database gateway that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface. This gateway allows MCP-compatible clients to connect and explore different databases.
Compared to similar products, SmartDB not only provides basic database connection and exploration capabilities but also adds advanced features such as OAuth 2.0 authentication , health checks, SQL optimization, and index health detection, making database management and maintenance more secure and intelligent.

"description": "",
"isActive": true,
"url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
}
}
}
Start command:

OAuth 2.0 Authentication Support
- Start authentication service. By default, it uses the built-in OAuth 2.0 password mode authentication. You can modify your own authentication service address in the env file.
uv run -m core.server --oauth=true
-
Access the authentication service at http://localhost:3000/login. Default account and password are configured in the env file. <img width="1777" height="950" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/20531bee-467f-4758-bc08-fddc086ed411" />
