About pilat/mcp-datalink

pilat/mcp-datalink is an MCP server that provides secure database access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases. It implements the Model Context Protocol to enable large language models and other MCP clients to interact with these databases through a standardized interface.

Best for

Developers who need a lightweight, standardized MCP server for secure database access in AI agent or LLM workflows

Use cases

Connecting AI assistants to relational databases for natural language queries
Standardizing database access across multiple MCP-compatible applications
Performing read and write operations on PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite via a single protocol

Notes

3 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2026-04-08. Licensed MIT.

Pros

Supports three major relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite)
TypeScript codebase offers type safety and broad developer familiarity
Uses the MCP standard for easy integration with many LLM tools

Cons

Very low GitHub stars indicate minimal community adoption and limited support
Only relational databases are supported, no NoSQL or cloud data sources
Requires an MCP client to be used, adding a dependency on a still-maturing ecosystem
