Settings 8

`DBX_DATA_DIR`	Optional: Override the local DBX data directory; needed for Windows portable builds.
`DBX_WEB_URL`	Optional: Use a DBX Web or Docker backend instead of local storage.
`DBX_WEB_PASSWORD`	Optional: Password for the DBX Web backend, when its login page requires one.
`DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_NAME`	Optional: Restrict tools to one connection name.
`DBX_MCP_SCOPE_DATABASE`	Optional: Restrict tools to one database.
`DBX_MCP_TRANSPORT`	Optional: stdio (default) or streamable-http for the native server.
`DBX_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN`	Optional: Bearer token required by the native Streamable HTTP transport.
`DBX_SESSION_IDLE_TTL_SECS`	Optional: Idle timeout for stateful sessions in seconds (default 1800).

What it does

The DBX MCP Server connects coding assistants to the databases configured in DBX, an open-source desktop database manager that supports over 100 databases. Through it an assistant can list connections and databases, browse tables, views and collections, describe columns, read stored procedure source, get compact schema context, and run SQL, MongoDB shell commands and Redis commands, including multi-statement scripts and stateful sessions that keep one connection.

It also reads Kafka messages without committing offsets, sends messages to supported queues, handles Salesforce SOQL queries and confirmed two-step record writes, can add or remove DBX connections, and, when the DBX desktop app is running, opens a table or shows a query result in its interface.

The server is written in Rust and ships through npm as a small Node.js launcher (npx -y @dbx-app/mcp-server, Node.js 18.18 or newer) or as native binaries without Node.js. It reads connection profiles from DBX's local storage, so connections are set up in DBX first; DBX does not need to stay open for native connections. It can also point at a DBX Web or Docker backend with DBX_WEB_URL, or serve Streamable HTTP protected by a bearer token. What it may do is set in DBX Settings, MCP: an allowlist of connections and one of three modes (read only, data read/write, full access).

Tools 22

Runs on your machine and uses the database credentials stored in DBX, so it reaches every database connection you allow. DBX Settings, MCP sets an allowlist of connections and a mode: read only, data read/write, or full access (which also permits broad deletes, DDL, TRUNCATE and Redis FLUSH); per its README the policy is reloaded on every request, and connection-level read-only and production protection still apply. Broad filters such as WHERE 1 = 1 are treated as high risk. Salesforce writes need a per-connection switch and a single-use confirm token, and cannot be rolled back. Connection tools can add and remove DBX connections. The optional HTTP transport binds to 127.0.0.1 and needs a bearer token.
