PostgreSQL (hardened, read-only)
Read-only PostgreSQL over MCP. Writes refused at the parsed SQL, plus a READ ONLY transaction.

Review any command before running it. Package names and URLs come from the server's own registry entry.
Package (npm 0.1.10)
npx -y [email protected]
Or add to your MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"postgres-mcp-hardened": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"[email protected]"
],
"env": {
"DATABASE_URL": "<YOUR_VALUE>"
}
}
}
}
DATABASE_URLrequired secret — Connection string for the role the server connects as. Use a role that cannot write — the server refuses writes twice, but a read-only role is the layer that does not depend on us being correct. `--print-setup-sql` prints the SQL that creates one.MCP_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT— Server-side statement timeout, e.g. `5s`. A question that would pin the database is cancelled by PostgreSQL, not by hope.MCP_ALLOW_TABLES— Comma-separated allowlist. A table off the list is refused by name, and hiding it inside a CTE, a view or a join does not help.MCP_AUDIT_LOG— Path to the tamper-evident audit log. Entries are chained by hash and survive a restart; `--verify-audit` checks the chain against an off-host anchor.
This server takes extra arguments — see its repository.
Package (oci)
Package: oci ghcr.io/eszetael/postgres-mcp-hardened:0.1.10
DATABASE_URLrequired secret — Connection string for a role that cannot write.MCP_ADDR— Address to bind, default 127.0.0.1:8080.
