Rowsafe — Claude Code MCP server: database checks and setup
Rowsafe lets an AI agent inspect database health and prepare fixes for review. Use it to investigate database issues or check a migration before running it.
claude mcp add --transport http rowsafe https://api.rowsafe.sh/mcpWhat Rowsafe does
Rowsafe exposes database operations to an agent: health checks, schema inspection, slow-query explanations, and migration checks for locks and data rewrites. An agent can apply a fix after you approve it. The server also supports recording changes and creating restore points called Marks.
For a local connection, run rowsafe mcp shop --allow-writes; shop is the database name in this example, and the flag enables writes. The database connection string supplies access. Commands work through a pooler, but fixes that execute inside the database do not. Rowsafe supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, and Valkey; available operations vary by database.
What it helps with
- check database health and identify issues
- inspect tables, columns, and indexes
- find why a SQL query is slow
- check a migration for locks and data rewrites
- review a proposed fix before applying it
Example prompts for the agent
- Check the health of
shopand suggest a fix. - Show the tables and indexes in the
shopdatabase. - Check
0042.sqlfor locks and data rewrites before I run it.
