db-connect

db-connect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joyous-coder/universal-db-mcp. It costs 79 tokens per session (5,640 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database connection and administration toolkit for AI coding agents. It works with database connections, SQL queries, schemas, backups, access audits, and several database profiles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect to databases, run and lint SQL, inspect tables and schemas, analyze query history and plans, manage backups, compare schemas, and mask personal data.
Why use it?
It removes the need to switch between separate database tools for routine inspection and maintenance. It also helps review SQL, compare query plans, and protect or recover data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

db-connect 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 3d 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.

db-connect (universal-db-mcp)

Comprehensive skill for the @joyous-coder/universal-db-mcp MCP server (~485 tests passing).

When to use this skill

Triggers (ANY of):

  • User mentions database, query, SQL, schema, table, run a query
  • User asks to connect to, inspect, or analyze a database
  • User wants to count rows, fetch data, dump, or back up
  • User asks about multi-DB management, profile routing, or SQL audit
  • User wants to lint SQL, view query history, or get EXPLAIN plans
  • User asks about PII masking, schema diff, or index advice
  • MCP server is configured AND user asks for any of the above

Auto-configure triggers (use to set up the server itself):

  • User says "I need to connect to a database" but no MCP server is reachable
  • Project has a .env, docker-compose.yml, or config file with DB credentials
  • User mentions a specific DB (mysql / postgres / oracle / dameng / mongodb / ...) and wants to query it

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.
