AI Agent Integration (MCP)

DBX provides an MCP server that lets AI coding agents query your databases using connections already configured in DBX.

npx @dbx-app/mcp-server

Add to your .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@dbx-app/mcp-server"] }
  }
}

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent. Supports listing connections, browsing tables, executing SQL, and opening tables directly in DBX's UI.

See the MCP server README for details.
