Easy Pg Admin

High-privilege PostgreSQL admin MCP server for database and role/grant management.

This project is a DBA-style tool. It does not provide raw SQL execution and does not manage tables, schemas, views, indexes, triggers, or functions. Use easy-pg-mcp for data access and schema/table operations.

Features

• List, create, inspect, and change owners for databases
• List, create, update, and drop PostgreSQL roles
• Grant and revoke role memberships
• Grant and revoke database-level privileges
• Protect destructive actions with short-lived confirmation tokens

Available Tools

Tool	Description
pg_list_databases	List databases in the current PostgreSQL instance
pg_create_database	Create a PostgreSQL database
pg_describe_database	Inspect a PostgreSQL database
pg_alter_database_owner	Change a database owner
pg_drop_database	Request database deletion and return a confirmation token
pg_list_roles	List PostgreSQL roles
pg_create_role	Create a PostgreSQL role without SUPERUSER support
pg_alter_role_password	Change a role password
pg_alter_role_attributes	Change supported role attributes
pg_drop_role	Request role deletion and return a confirmation token
pg_grant_role	Grant a role to another role
pg_revoke_role	Revoke a role from another role
pg_show_role_memberships	Show memberships for a role
pg_grant_privileges	Grant database-level privileges to a role
pg_revoke_privileges	Revoke database-level privileges from a role
pg_show_grants	Show database-level grants for a role
pg_confirm_task	Confirm and execute a destructive action token

Safety

• No raw SQL passthrough
• No schema, table, view, index, trigger, or function management
• SUPERUSER role creation and modification are not supported
• pg_drop_database and pg_drop_role require pg_confirm_task
• pg_drop_role does not support REASSIGN OWNED or DROP OWNED
• Confirmation tokens are random, single-use, and expire quickly
