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.
