Go MCP Postgres tools

This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.

We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is go-mcp-postgres?

go-mcp-postgres is a lightweight, standalone Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with PostgreSQL databases. It requires no Node.js or Python runtime and provides tools for CRUD operations, schema management, and read-only queries. It is intended for developers and AI agents who need zero‑burden database automation.

How to use go-mcp-postgres?

Download the latest binary from the releases page or install via go install -v github.com/guoling2008/go-mcp-postgres@latest. Configure it in your MCP client using the --dsn flag for stdio mode, or use --t sse --ip <ip> --port <port> for SSE mode. Optional flags include --read-only (disables write tools) and --with-explain-check (forces EXPLAIN before every query).

Key features of go-mcp-postgres

  • Single binary, no Node.js or Python required
  • Full CRUD operations on PostgreSQL databases and tables
  • Read‑only mode to prevent accidental writes
  • Optional EXPLAIN‑based query plan check
  • Multi‑language support (en/zh‑CN via --lang)
  • Schema tools: list databases, tables, describe, create, alter

Use cases of go-mcp-postgres

  • AI‑assisted database schema exploration and management
  • Automating read‑only data extraction and reporting
  • Safe database administration with read‑only mode enabled
  • Multi‑language environments needing English or Chinese tool descriptions

Frequently asked questions

1

Does go-mcp-postgres need Node.js or Python?

No. It is a standalone Go binary with no external runtime dependencies.

2

What is the difference between stdio and SSE modes?

Stdio mode is the default, suitable for local MCP integrations. SSE mode (`--t sse`) listens on a specified IP and port for remote connections.

3

How does the EXPLAIN check work?

By default, every write query is preceded by an `EXPLAIN` statement to verify the query plan matches expected patterns. Use `--with-explain-check` to disable this behavior.

4

Can I use go-mcp-postgres in a production environment?

The README notes this is a work in progress and may not yet be ready for production use.

5

What languages are supported?

Currently English (en) and Chinese (zh‑CN) are built‑in. Custom language files can be added in the locales folder.
