How to use DBX: what you can do with it

What is DBX? 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.

How do I use it? Install DBX and set up your connections in the app; then 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. Full steps below.
