MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you connect your Databases database directly with AI tools. Once connected, you can query, create, and modify records using natural language from your favorite tool.

How does it work?

Databases creates an MCP URL to connect your database with an AI tool. Through it, the tool can query and manage your data. To access the MCP configuration, go to Settings > MCP from the left sidebar.
