# Query operational databases from MCP clients with DBHub

Use DBHub to expose guarded, token-efficient database inspection and SQL tools to MCP clients across Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, and SQLite.

## Prerequisites

Node.js 22.5 or newer or Docker, database DSN/configuration, MCP-compatible client

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- docker run --rm --init \
- npx @bytebase/dbhub@latest --transport http --port 8080 --dsn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable"
- npx @bytebase/dbhub@latest --transport http --port 8080 --demo
- npx @bytebase/dbhub@latest --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 --demo

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- **Docker:**
- **NPM:** (requires Node.js >= 22.5.0)
- Requires Node.js >= 22.5.0 (DBHub uses the built-in node:sqlite module).
