The db-mcp-gateway provides a secure method for AI agents to query production databases by isolating credentials and enforcing strict access controls. It acts as a self-hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) gateway, ensuring that database passwords and connection strings are only stored inside the gateway container. Authentication is handled through enterprise SSO providers, while permissions are expressed as grants and recorded in a PostgreSQL audit log for traceability and compliance.
The gateway supports multiple SSO providers and can be deployed via a single Docker container and configuration file, making it easy to integrate into existing systems. It is recommended for platform/SRE teams, backend developers, and security officers looking to maintain secure AI-driven database access.
