 "summary": "Add the DBX MCP server to your agent and restrict it to read only on an allowlist of connections.",
 "who": "A developer who wants the coding agent to check real schema and data while writing queries and migrations.",
 "problem": "Agents guess at schemas, and giving them raw database credentials is risky.",
 "outcome": "An agent that queries your DBX connections through MCP with read only access to the connections you allow.",
 "steps": [
  "Install DBX and set up your connections in the app",
  "Run `npx @dbx-app/mcp-server` once to check it starts",
  "Add the DBX entry to your .mcp.json with command npx and args -y @dbx-app/mcp-server",
  "In DBX Settings, MCP, set the connection allowlist and choose Read only",
  "Ask the agent to inspect a table's schema and sample rows before writing a query"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Add the t8y2/dbx MCP server to this project's .mcp.json, then use it in read only mode to inspect the <table> schema on <connection> and write a query that <goal>. Do not run any write statements.",
