Why DBX?
🪶 25 MB, zero runtime bloatNo Java JRE. No Python venv. No bundled Chromium. DBX ships as a single small binary — download, install, connect. DBeaver needs Java; TablePlus is Freemium. DBX runs everywhere with nothing extra. |
🤖 AI that lives in your editorHighlight a table, describe what you want, get SQL back — no copy-paste between tools. Works with Claude, OpenAI, or local models via Ollama. Built-in safety checks review AI-generated SQL before it runs. |
🔌 MCP: your databases, AI-readyDBX speaks the Model Context Protocol. Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI coding agents can query your databases through connections you already set up. One config, everywhere. |
🌐 Desktop + Docker + WebNative app on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Self-host via Docker for team access. Web version for browser-only environments. Same feature set. Same connections. |
📨 Not just databasesMessage queues and middleware get first-class consoles: Kafka, RocketMQ, RabbitMQ, Pulsar, and MQTT, plus Nacos, Consul, ZooKeeper, and etcd. Inspect topics and messages next to your databases — no extra tool. |
🧩 Plugin ecosystemExtend DBX with signed, sandboxed plugins from the built-in store — S3, Kubernetes, LDAP, and more. Build your own with the Go / TypeScript SDK. |
