What it can access

  • An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.
  • Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to connect to a database.

Before you install

  1. Give it a read-only database user unless it must write.
  2. Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
  3. Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
  • Maintained by googleapis on GitHub, 16,764 stars and 1,787 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
  • Last code change: Nov 1, 2026.
  • Open-source license: Apache-2.0.
