README

The Nothing

a.k.a. Mr. Decoupler: the fastest private way to connect AI to a database.

Sometimes less is more.

The idea

Most database MCP servers hand the AI a query tool. The AI writes SQL, rows pour into the context window, and every question costs another round trip, more tokens and more exposure.

The Nothing turns that around. It holds the database connection privately, on your side, and gives the AI one minimal, read-only tool that can't run SQL:

read_view schema: tables, columns and row counts. Structure only, never records.
read_view <name>: a view you approved ahead of time, row-capped. Optional.

The AI can't write queries, browse tables, or change anything. It understands the shape of your data without dragging the data itself into the conversation. That's the decoupling, and it's why we call it Mr. Decoupler.

With no database around, it does exactly what the name says: nothing.

Zero setup

Open a project and it connects on its own, checking in this order:

THE_NOTHING_DB, if you set it
DATABASE_URL in the environment
THE_NOTHING_DB or DATABASE_URL in the project's .env file
A SQLite, CSV, TSV or JSONL file in the project folder

Nothing found means nothing connected. Auto-detection only looks inside a project folder, never your home folder or a drive root. Turn it off with THE_NOTHING_AUTODETECT=off.

How it works

 Your database / dataset ──(private, read-only)──▶ The Nothing ──(read_view: schema + approved views)──▶ AI
   Postgres · MySQL · SQL Server                       │
   SQLite · CSV · TSV · JSONL                          └─ the AI can't write SQL, browse or change data

Guarantee	How
One tool, no SQL	`read_view` accepts only a name from a fixed list: `schema` or a view you approved.
No records by default	The schema is table names, columns and row counts. Rows appear only in views you wrote.
Read-only	Views must be a single `SELECT`/`WITH`. Postgres and MySQL run them in a `READ ONLY` transaction; SQL Server in a transaction that is always rolled back; SQLite files open read-only.
Bounded	Every view is row-capped (default 50, max 1000).
Credentials stay put	The connection string never appears in tool output, instructions or error messages.
Strictest mode	`THE_NOTHING_VIEW_TOOL=off` removes the tool entirely: zero tools, and data enters the chat only when you attach a resource yourself.

Supported sources

Connection	Source
`postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db`	PostgreSQL and compatible services (Supabase, Neon, Aurora, CockroachDB…)
`mysql://user:pass@host:3306/db` or `mariadb://…`	MySQL, MariaDB and compatible services (PlanetScale, Aurora MySQL, TiDB…)
`mssql://user:pass@host:1433/db`, `sqlserver://…`, or `Server=…;Database=…;User Id=…;Password=…`	SQL Server, Azure SQL
`file.db`, `.sqlite`, `.sqlite3`, `sqlite:/path`, or `file:./dev.db` (Prisma style)	SQLite
`data.csv`, `.tsv`, `.jsonl`	Datasets, loaded into a private in-memory table named after the file

Use a read-only database account. The Nothing enforces read-only on its side too, but a read-only account means nothing could write even by mistake.

Optional: approve views

When you want the AI to see actual numbers, approve views in a JSON file and point THE_NOTHING_VIEWS at it (see examples/views.example.json):

{
  "views": {
    "revenue_by_month": {
      "description": "Total revenue per month.",
      "sql": "SELECT
