 "what": "DBX is a 25 MB cross-platform database client for 100+ databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, DuckDB and ClickHouse, with consoles for Kafka, RabbitMQ and MQTT. It has a built-in AI SQL assistant that works with Claude, OpenAI or local models via Ollama, schema tools such as ER diagrams and schema diff, and a separate MCP server so coding agents can query the connections you set up in DBX.",
 "why": "28k stars, talked about in 3 AI sources we track",
 "language": "Rust",
 "requirements": [
  "macOS, Windows or Linux desktop, Docker for team access, or the web version",
  "An AI provider for the SQL assistant: Claude, OpenAI or a local model via Ollama",
  "Node.js (npx) for the MCP server"
 ],
