Verdict

Pick SQL Analyzer if you prefer its approach (sql static analysis, linting, and dialect conversion for your ai assistant, powered by sqlglot).

Pick DBHub if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option.

Add SQL Analyzer

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sql-analyzer": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/j4c0bs/mcp-server-sql-analyzer.git",
        "mcp-server-sql-analyzer"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Add DBHub

Install / run
npx @bytebase/dbhub@latest --transport stdio --dsn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbhub": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@bytebase/dbhub@latest",
        "--transport",
        "stdio",
        "--dsn",
        "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname"
      ]
    }
