Universal DB MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 101 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 12 Jun 2026.
Security-first MCP server for PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, DuckDB with SQL injection prevention.
Today is the operative word: we check Universal DB MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
POSTGRES_URI (PostgreSQL connection string (read-only user recommended)), SQLITE_PATH (Path to a SQLite database file), MYSQL_URI (MySQL connection string (read-only user recommended)), DUCKDB_PATH (Path to a DuckDB file, or :memory:), ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE (Set to true to allow INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/DDL (default: false)), MAX_RESULT_ROWS (Maximum rows returned per query (default: 1000)).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
