## Description

MCP Toolbox for Databases is an open-source MCP server that gives AI agents access to databases. It was previously called Gen AI Toolbox for Databases; the official repository was renamed.

The server provides prebuilt tools for operations such as listing tables and executing SQL queries. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and other databases, with available tools varying by source.

Developers can define custom data sources and tools in a YAML configuration. The project also includes authentication options, connection pooling, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, and integrations with MCP clients and application SDKs.

The software is free under Apache 2.0 and can run locally, in a container, or on a server. Database credentials and permissions are required; database hosting and query charges are separate.
