What is postgres-mcp-server?

A server that lets an agent work with PostgreSQL databases through a standard connection protocol called MCP. PostgreSQL is a database system used to store and query structured application data.

Use it when an agent needs access to a PostgreSQL database through the configured MCP server and Docker environment.

It provides a configured way for an agent to connect to PostgreSQL without requiring each project to define the server setup from scratch. The configuration runs the server in Docker, a tool for running applications in isolated containers.

Security

Grade A, and why

postgres-mcp-server scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
