Berth -- Database MCP Server

A secure berth for your data -- database access for AI tools.

Berth is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants safe, structured access to PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL databases. It exposes 13 tools for inspecting schemas, running queries, managing data, generating migrations, and performing backups -- all governed by a 3-tier safety model that prevents accidental damage.

Safety Model

Berth enforces three operating modes that control what SQL is permitted:

Mode	Default	Allows	Blocks
read-only	Yes	`SELECT`, `EXPLAIN`	All writes
write	No	`INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, `CREATE`	`DROP`, `TRUNCATE`, `ALTER DROP`, `DELETE` without `WHERE`
admin	No	Everything	Destructive ops require a confirmation token (60s expiry)

The server starts in read-only mode. Write and admin modes must be explicitly enabled. Destructive operations in admin mode generate a one-time confirmation token that expires after 60 seconds -- the AI must echo the token back to confirm intent.

Tools

Tool	Description	Key Parameters
`health`	Server health check	--
`db_connect`	Connect to a database	`dsn` (connection string)
`db_query`	Execute a SELECT query (auto-adds LIMIT 1000)	`connection_id`, `sql`
`db_execute`	Execute INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (respects safety mode)	`connection_id`, `sql`, `confirmation_token`
`db_schema`	List tables, views, and indexes	`connection_id`
`db_describe`	Column details for a table	`connection_id`, `table`
`db_relationships`	Foreign key relationships	`connection_id`, `table` (optional)
`db_size`	Database and table sizes	`connection_id`
`db_active_queries`	Currently running queries (PostgreSQL only)	`connection_id`
`db_explain`	Run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on a query	`connection_id`, `sql`
`generate_migration`	Generate migration SQL by comparing schemas	`connection_id` + `target_sql`, or `from_connection` + `to_connection`
`db_backup`	Create a database backup	`connection_id`, `output_path`
`db_restore`	Restore from backup (admin mode + confirmation token)	`connection_id`, `input_path`, `confirmation_token`

Schema Migrations

The generate_migration tool compares two schemas and produces dialect-aware SQL to migrate from one to the other. Two modes of operation:

Mode 1 — Live database vs. target DDL:

Provide connection_id (an active connection) and target_sql (CREATE TABLE statements describing the desired schema). Berth introspects the live database and diffs it against the parsed target.

Mode 2 — Two live databases:

Provide from_connection and to_connection (two active connection IDs). Berth introspects both and generates the migration to transform the source into the target.

What it generates:

CREATE TABLE for new tables
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN for new columns
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN / MODIFY COLUMN for type, nullability, and default changes
CREATE INDEX / DROP INDEX for index changes
ADD CONSTRAINT / DROP CONSTRAINT for foreign key changes
DROP TABLE and DROP COLUMN are commented out with warnings (safety first)

Dialect handling:

PostgreSQL -- uses ALTER COLUMN ... TYPE, SET/DROP NOT NULL, SET/DROP DEFAULT
MySQL -- uses MODIFY COLUMN for all column changes, DROP INDEX ... ON table
SQLite -- warns about unsupported operations and includes the table rebuild pattern for changes that require it (ALTER COLUMN, DROP COLUMN on older versions, constraint changes)

Supported Databases

PostgreSQL -- full support including pg_stat_activity, EXPLAIN ANALYZE, pg_dump/psql backup/restore
SQLite -- full support
