datamcp — Hosted MCP Gateway for Databases & APIs

Database and API MCP gateway. datamcp lets AI agents query PostgreSQL, MySQL, and any OpenAPI endpoint through a single hosted MCP server. Server-side credential management means no local database config. Generate scoped access links for team members.

What It Does for Operators

  • PostgreSQL + MySQL MCP — Query production databases through AI agents with server-side credentials
  • OpenAPI gateway — Connect any REST API to your MCP client through datamcp's proxy
  • Scoped access links — Generate read-only or table-specific links for different team members
  • Zero local setup — No local database drivers, VPNs, or SSH tunnels. All connections managed server-side.
  • Audit trail — Track which agent queried what, when.

Installation

# No installation — hosted platform
# Sign up at datamcp.app, connect your databases

Operator Use Cases

  1. Data Analysts — "What were our top 10 products by revenue last month?" → query directly from AI agent
  2. Engineering Teams — Give AI agents read-only production database access for debugging
  3. Business Operators — Connect Stripe/Shopify OpenAPI endpoints through datamcp for unified querying
  4. Agencies — Generate scoped database access links for client reporting without sharing credentials

CorpusIQ Angle

datamcp is complementary to CorpusIQ for operators who need direct database access. While CorpusIQ provides 40+ pre-built business connectors (QuickBooks, Shopify, HubSpot), datamcp gives operators the ability to connect custom databases and APIs that CorpusIQ doesn't natively support. Together: CorpusIQ for turnkey business data + datamcp for custom database/API access.

Limitations

  • Requires datamcp.app account and database connection setup
  • Read-only queries (no write operations through MCP)
  • Query performance depends on datamcp's proxy infrastructure
  • New platform — uptime and reliability TBD
