FAQ from PostgreSQL Full Access MCP Server

How does PostgreSQL Full Access MCP Server differ from the official MCP PostgreSQL server?

The official server is read-only; this server provides full read-write access with transaction management and safety controls.

What environment variables are available?

Key variables include TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT_MS, MAX_CONCURRENT_TRANSACTIONS, ENABLE_TRANSACTION_MONITOR, PG_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_MS, PG_MAX_CONNECTIONS, and MONITOR_INTERVAL_MS. Defaults are specified in the README.

What permissions should I grant the database user?

Create a dedicated user with restricted grants. Avoid superuser access. For example, grant SELECT on all tables and INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE only on specific tables as needed.

How does the two-step commit safety workflow work?

For write operations, the SQL executes in a transaction and the conversation ends. The user reviews results, then starts a new conversation saying "Yes" to commit or "No" to rollback.

Can I run this server in Docker?

Yes. Build the Docker image and run it with a PostgreSQL connection string. On macOS use host.docker.internal to reach the host network.
