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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add universal-db-mcp -- uvx universal-db-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "universal-db-mcp": {

      ],
      "command": "uvx"

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.

Universal DB MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Universal DB MCP?
Universal DB MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package universal-db-mcp was installed 101 times last week.
How do I connect Universal DB MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls universal-db-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Universal DB MCP?
The pypi package universal-db-mcp was installed 101 times in the last week. Week over week that is +11%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Universal DB MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
