DBX MCP Server

Rust-powered Model Context Protocol server for DBX. It lets MCP-compatible AI agents inspect schemas and run safe database operations using connections configured in DBX.

中文说明 | npm | Native releases

Architecture

@dbx-app/mcp-server
└── small Node.js launcher
    └── platform-specific Rust dbx-mcp binary
        └── dbx-core database and agent infrastructure

The MCP protocol, connection loading, SQL safety, schema access, Redis support, MongoDB shell parsing, Web backend access, and database execution are implemented in Rust. Node.js is used only by the npm launcher so existing npm, npx, and MCP client configurations continue to work.

Features

• 18 MCP tools for connection and database discovery, schemas, SQL, Redis, sessions, messages, and DBX UI integration
• Precompiled native binaries with no local Rust, Cargo, Python, or C/C++ build requirement
• No better-sqlite3 runtime dependency and no Node native-addon ABI coupling
• Local, Web, and Docker modes using the same tool interface
• Optional Streamable HTTP transport protected by a bearer token, while stdio remains the default
• Direct native execution for supported SQL, Redis, and MongoDB connections
• Agent/JDBC database support through DBX agent infrastructure when the required agent and JRE are installed
• DBX-managed access policy with a connection allowlist and three execution modes
• SQL, Redis, and MongoDB safety controls that reload the policy for every request
• Offline execution through downloadable native binaries
• Optional desktop integration for opening tables and displaying query results in DBX

Installation

npm global install

npm install -g @dbx-app/mcp-server

Then configure the MCP client to run:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "dbx-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

npx

No global installation is required:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@dbx-app/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

The npm package automatically installs the native package matching the current operating system and CPU. Do not install with --no-optional, because npm optional dependencies carry the platform binary.

Native binary / offline install

Every package release publishes native archives and SHA256SUMS in GitHub Releases:

| Platform | Release asset | npm platform package | | --- | --- | --- | | macOS Apple Silicon | dbx-mcp-darwin-arm64.tar.gz | @dbx-app/mcp-darwin-arm64 | | macOS Intel | dbx-mcp-darwin-x64.tar.gz | @dbx-app/mcp-darwin-x64 | | Linux glibc ARM64 | dbx-mcp-linux-arm64-gnu.tar.gz | @dbx-app/mcp-linux-arm64-gnu | | Linux glibc x64 | dbx-mcp-linux-x64-gnu.tar.gz | @dbx-app/mcp-linux-x64-gnu | | Windows ARM64 | dbx-mcp-win32-arm64.zip | @dbx-app/mcp-win32-arm64 | | Windows x64 | dbx-mcp-win32-x64.zip | @dbx-app/mcp-win32-x64 |

Verify a Unix archive before extracting it:

sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS
tar -xzf dbx-mcp-linux-x64-gnu.tar.gz
chmod +x dbx-mcp

On macOS, use shasum -a 256 if sha256sum is unavailable. On Windows, use certutil -hashfile <archive> SHA256 and compare the value with SHA256SUMS.

Configure the MCP client to run the extracted file directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/dbx-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Direct native execution does not require Node.js. GitHub package releases are intentionally not marked as the repository's latest release, so they do not replace the latest DBX desktop release.

Requirements

npm installation

• Node.js 18.18.0 or newer
• A supported operating system and CPU from the platform table
• npm optional dependencies enabled

Native installation

• No Node.js or npm requirement
• Linux builds currently require glibc; Alpine/musl is not supported yet

Database configuration

DBX MCP reads connection profiles from DBX storage. DBX does not need to remain open for native connections. However:

• the connection must already exist in DBX storage, unless it is added through dbx_add_connection;
• DBX Agent/JDBC databases require the matching agent, JDBC driver, and JRE to be installed;
• dbx_open_table and dbx_execute_and_show require a running DBX desktop application;
• DBX Web mode requires a reachable DBX Web server.

Usage Examples

Ask the MCP client to:

• "List my DBX connections"
• "Show tables in the production PostgreSQL connection"
• "Describe the orders table"
• "Build schema context for the billing database"
• "Count orders created in the last seven days"
• "Run INFO memory on the Redis connection"
• "Find the latest MongoDB documents in the events collection"
• "Open the orders table in DBX"

Tools

| Tool | Description | | --- | --- | | dbx_list_connections | List connections visible to the MCP session | | dbx_list_databases | List databases available through a connection, respecting its MCP database scope | | dbx_add_connection | Add a connection to DBX storage | | dbx_duplicate_connection | Duplicate a DBX connection with its complete settings | | dbx_remove_connection | Remove a connection from DBX storage | | dbx_list_tables | List tables, views, collections, or message queue topics | | dbx_describe_table | Return columns and table metadata | | dbx_list_routines | List stored procedures and functions in a schema, with an optional routine_type filter (PROCEDURE or FUNCTION) | | dbx_get_routine_source | Return the source of a stored procedure or function by name, with an optional signature for overloaded names | | dbx_get_schema_context | Return compact schema context suitable for an AI model | | dbx_execute_query | Execute SQL or a supported MongoDB shell command, returning at most 100 rows | | dbx_execute_batch | Execute a SQL script containing multiple statements in one call, returning a result per statement (or a single merged result with use_transaction on a multi-statement script) | | dbx_open_session | Open a stateful SQL query session pinned to one backend connection | | dbx_close_session | Close a session and release its pinned connection resources | | dbx_execute_redis_command | Execute a Redis command | | dbx_send_message | Send a message to a supported message queue topic | | dbx_open_table | Open a table in the running DBX desktop application | | dbx_execute_and_show | Execute a query and display the result in the DBX desktop application |

When connection scoping is enabled, mutating connection tools and desktop UI tools are hidden.

dbx_list_databases returns only database names allowed by the selected connection's MCP database scope. dbx_send_message is available when message-queue support is included in the server build.

Execution Modes

Local native mode

This is the default. MCP reads DBX connection storage and executes supported connections locally in the Rust process.

Common native paths include PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, compatible SQL databases, Redis standalone, and MongoDB. SSH, cluster, vendor-specific, or Agent/JDBC connections may require additional DBX infrastructure.

DuckDB runs through the standalone DBX DuckDB driver. Install it from DBX Driver Manager before using a DuckDB connection through local MCP. The MCP binary includes the sidecar client but does not bundle the DuckDB engine.

DBX connection storage defaults to:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/com.dbx.app/dbx.db
• Linux: ~/.local/share/com.dbx.app/dbx.db
• Windows: %APPDATA%\com.dbx.app\dbx.db

Override the directory with DBX_DATA_DIR.

Agent/JDBC databases

Databases such as Dameng, KingbaseES, Oracle, DB2, Hive, Trino, Snowflake, SAP HANA, and other DBX Agent profiles use DBX's Java agent infrastructure rather than a Node.js database driver.

The native npm/GitHub binary does not bundle every proprietary JDBC driver or JRE. Install the database agent through DBX first, or provide a compatible agent installation under the DBX agent directory. Availability depends on the installed driver and license terms of the database vendor.

DBX Web / Docker mode

Set DBX_WEB_URL to use a deployed DBX Web backend instead of local desktop storage:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "dbx-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "DBX_WEB_URL": "https://dbx.example.com",
        "DBX_WEB_PASSWORD": "your-web-login-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

DBX_WEB_PASSWORD is the password used on the DBX Web login page. Desktop-local mode does not use it. Desktop UI tools are hidden in Web mode.

DBX Web requests honor the standard system proxy environment variables (HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY/ALL_PROXY, bypass via NO_PROXY); an empty value means no proxy. Proxies requiring authentication use the http://user:pass@host:port URL form. Extra headers can be attached via DBX_WEB_HEADERS (a JSON object, e.g. {"Authorization":"Bearer <token>"}) — applied to every request, including authentication. For self-signed HTTPS backends, set DBX_WEB_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY=1 to skip certificate verification, or DBX_WEB_CA_CERT to trust a private CA (verification is on by default).

Docker and DBX Web also require the standalone DuckDB driver. Install it from Driver Manager after the first launch; when /app/data is persisted, the driver is stored under /app/data/agents and survives container upgrades.

Native Streamable HTTP

The native server uses stdio by default. To host a local Streamable HTTP endpoint instead, start it with a bearer token:

DBX_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN=replace-with-a-long-random-secret dbx-mcp-server --http

It listens on http://127.0.0.1:5225/mcp by default. Configure an HTTP-capable MCP client with that URL and Authorization: Bearer <token>:

{
  "type": "http",
  "url": "http://127.0.0.1:5225/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer replace-with-a-long-random-secret"
  }
}

The default loopback address accepts only clients on the same computer. Binding to a non-loopback address requires all of the following: DBX_MCP_HTTP_ALLOW_REMOTE=1, the --http-allow-remote flag, and non-empty DBX_MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_HOSTS plus DBX_MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS allowlists. Use exact public Host authorities and browser Origins.

DBX Web can host native Streamable HTTP on its existing listener, rather than opening a second port. Enable it with DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN (or DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN_FILE) and configure the public Host allowlist. For a container published as 4225:4224, the endpoint is http://localhost:4225/mcp:

environment:
  DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN: replace-with-a-long-random-secret
  DBX_WEB_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS: localhost:4225
ports:
  - "4225:4224"

Clients send Authorization: Bearer <DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN>. Browser clients also require an exact DBX_WEB_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS entry. When a reverse proxy adds a path prefix, set DBX_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH; the endpoint becomes <base-path>/mcp. Native HTTP and the DBX_WEB_URL stdio adapter can coexist and share the same DBX policy.

Windows portable DBX

Point DBX_DATA_DIR at the portable data directory containing dbx.db:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "dbx-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "DBX_DATA_DIR": "D:\\DBX_x64-portable\\data"
      }
    }
  }
}

DBX-managed MCP Policy

DBX stores one authoritative policy under Settings → MCP and reloads it for every request:

| Permission mode | Allowed operations | | --- | --- | | Read only | Queries and metadata reads | | Data read/write | Regular inserts, effectively filtered updates/deletes, scoped MongoDB mutations, and ordinary Redis writes | | Full access | Also permits broad updates/deletes, DDL, TRUNCATE, MongoDB destructive operations, and Redis FLUSH* |

Allowed connections controls which stable connection IDs MCP can list or resolve. Connection-level read-only protection, production protection, database credentials, and the allowlist remain upper bounds in every mode.

Conditions such as WHERE TRUE, WHERE 1 = 1, _id: {$exists: true}, complementary predicates, and opaque MongoDB filters remain high risk. Unknown Redis commands also fail closed.

Legacy connection scope variables can still narrow the DBX allowlist for existing client configurations:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx-production-scope": {
      "command": "dbx-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_NAME": "production-postgres",
        "DBX_MCP_SCOPE_DATABASE": "analytics"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_ID, comma-separated DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_IDS, or DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_NAME. ID scopes take precedence over the name scope. The scoped database is optional.

Safety

Choose Read only, Data read/write, or Full access in DBX instead of placing permission flags in client configuration. Updated servers do not let DBX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITES or DBX_MCP_ALLOW_DANGEROUS_SQL widen the DBX policy. For upgrade compatibility, DBX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITES=0 (or false) keeps MCP read-only until a central policy is saved for the first time; the legacy permission variables are ignored afterward.

MongoDB update/delete operations require a verifiably effective filter unless Full access is enabled. Aggregation stages such as $out and $merge are treated as high-risk writes.

SQL text is not included in normal MCP errors or logged by default. Enable temporary diagnostics with DBX_MCP_DEBUG_SQL=1 and disable it after troubleshooting.

Environment Variables

| Variable | Purpose | | --- | --- | | DBX_DATA_DIR | Override the local DBX data directory | | DBX_WEB_URL | Use a DBX Web/Docker backend | | DBX_WEB_PASSWORD | Authenticate to the DBX Web backend | | HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY / ALL_PROXY | Standard system proxy variables for DBX Web requests; empty value means no proxy.

Troubleshooting

Optional platform package was not installed

Reinstall without --no-optional:

npm uninstall -g @dbx-app/mcp-server
npm install -g @dbx-app/mcp-server@latest

Verify the current Node platform:

node -p 'process.platform + "-" + process.arch'

Unsupported Linux distribution

The published Linux packages target glibc. Alpine Linux uses musl by default and is not currently supported.

dbx.db cannot be found

Set DBX_DATA_DIR to the directory containing dbx.db, not to the database file itself.

Desktop action says DBX is not running

Database queries can run without the desktop application when the connection is supported locally. dbx_open_table and dbx_execute_and_show intentionally require DBX desktop to be running.

Agent/JDBC database cannot start

Open DBX Driver Manager and install/update the matching database agent and JRE. The standalone MCP binary does not redistribute every proprietary JDBC driver.

better-sqlite3 or Node ABI error

The Rust MCP runtime does not depend on better-sqlite3. This error normally indicates an older MCP version or the separate TypeScript-based @dbx-app/cli package. Upgrade MCP with:

npm install -g @dbx-app/mcp-server@latest

Development

Run the Rust server from source:

cargo run -p dbx-mcp --no-default-features

Run tests:

cargo test -p dbx-mcp --no-default-features
pnpm --filter @dbx-app/mcp-server test

Build a release binary:

cargo build --release -p dbx-mcp --no-default-features

DBX CLI

@dbx-app/cli is a separate terminal-oriented package and currently remains TypeScript/Node.js based:

npm install -g @dbx-app/cli
dbx connections list --json
dbx query local "select 1" --json

See the CLI README.

npm 安装

npm install -g @dbx-app/mcp-server

MCP 配置：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "dbx-mcp-server"
    }
  }
}

也可以直接使用 npx：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@dbx-app/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

不要使用 --no-optional，平台二进制通过 npm optionalDependencies 自动安装。

原生二进制和离线安装

每个 packages 版本会在 GitHub Releases 发布以下文件：

| 平台 | 文件 | | --- | --- | | macOS Apple Silicon | dbx-mcp-darwin-arm64.tar.gz | | macOS Intel | dbx-mcp-darwin-x64.tar.gz | | Linux glibc ARM64 | dbx-mcp-linux-arm64-gnu.tar.gz | | Linux glibc x64 | dbx-mcp-linux-x64-gnu.tar.gz | | Windows ARM64 | dbx-mcp-win32-arm64.zip | | Windows x64 | dbx-mcp-win32-x64.zip |

下载后使用 SHA256SUMS 校验，并直接配置：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "/绝对路径/dbx-mcp"
    }
  }
}

直接运行原生文件不需要 Node.js。Linux 当前只支持 glibc，暂不支持 Alpine/musl。

系统要求

• npm 安装需要 Node.js 18.18.0 或更高版本
• 原生二进制不需要 Node.js、Rust、Cargo、Python 或本地编译环境
• 连接配置需要存在于 DBX 存储中，或通过 dbx_add_connection 添加
• Agent/JDBC 数据库需要提前安装对应 Agent、JDBC Driver 和 JRE
• dbx_open_table、dbx_execute_and_show 需要 DBX 桌面端正在运行

工具列表

| 工具 | 说明 | | --- | --- | | dbx_list_connections | 列出当前 MCP 会话可见的连接 | | dbx_list_databases | 列出连接中可通过 MCP 访问的数据库，并遵守该连接的数据库范围 | | dbx_add_connection | 添加 DBX 连接配置 | | dbx_duplicate_connection | 复制一个连接及其完整配置 | | dbx_remove_connection | 删除 DBX 连接配置 | | dbx_list_tables | 列出表、视图、集合或消息队列 Topic | | dbx_describe_table | 获取字段和表结构 | | dbx_get_schema_context | 获取适合 AI 使用的紧凑 Schema 上下文 | | dbx_execute_query | 执行 SQL 或支持的 MongoDB Shell 命令，最多返回 100 行 | | dbx_execute_batch | 一次执行包含多条语句的 SQL 脚本，按语句返回结果（多语句脚本搭配 use_transaction 时返回单个合并结果） | | dbx_open_session | 为 SQL 连接打开固定后端连接的有状态查询会话 | | dbx_close_session | 关闭会话并释放固定连接资源 | | dbx_execute_redis_command | 执行 Redis 命令 | | dbx_send_message | 向支持的消息队列 Topic 发送消息 | | dbx_open_table | 在 DBX 桌面端打开表 | | dbx_execute_and_show | 执行查询并在 DBX 桌面端展示结果 |

dbx_list_databases 只返回该连接 MCP 数据库范围内允许访问的名称。dbx_send_message 仅在 Server 构建时包含消息队列支持时可用。

本地数据目录

• macOS：~/Library/Application Support/com.dbx.app/dbx.db
• Linux：~/.local/share/com.dbx.app/dbx.db
• Windows：%APPDATA%\com.dbx.app\dbx.db

通过 DBX_DATA_DIR 覆盖默认目录。Windows 便携版应指向 DBX.exe 同级、包含 dbx.db 的 data 文件夹。

DBX Web / Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx": {
      "command": "dbx-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "DBX_WEB_URL": "https://dbx.example.com",
        "DBX_WEB_PASSWORD": "Web 登录密码"
      }
    }
  }
}

Web 模式不会读取本机 DBX 桌面存储，也不会暴露桌面 UI 工具。

DBX Web 请求遵循标准系统代理环境变量：https 地址读取 HTTPS_PROXY/https_proxy，http 地址读取 HTTP_PROXY/http_proxy，ALL_PROXY/all_proxy 作为兜底，NO_PROXY/no_proxy 作为绕过列表。代理值为空或未设置时直连（不走代理）。需要认证的代理使用标准 user:password@host:port URL 形式，例如 http://admin:[email protected]:7890。如需为每次 DBX Web 请求附加自定义请求头（例如网关前的令牌认证），将 DBX_WEB_HEADERS 设置为 JSON 对象，键为请求头名称、值为字符串，例如 {"Authorization":"Bearer <token>"}，该头会附加到包括认证在内的每个请求。

原生 Streamable HTTP

原生 Server 默认使用 stdio。需要直接提供本机 Streamable HTTP 服务时，启动时传入 Bearer Token：

DBX_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN=replace-with-a-long-random-secret dbx-mcp-server --http

默认监听 http://127.0.0.1:5225/mcp。在支持 HTTP 的 MCP 客户端中填写该 URL，并携带 Authorization: Bearer <token>：

{
  "type": "http",
  "url": "http://127.0.0.1:5225/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer replace-with-a-long-random-secret"
  }
}

默认回环地址仅允许同一台电脑上的客户端访问。监听非回环地址时，必须同时设置 DBX_MCP_HTTP_ALLOW_REMOTE=1、传入 --http-allow-remote，并提供非空的 DBX_MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_HOSTS 和 DBX_MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS 白名单。Host authority 与浏览器 Origin 均应使用精确的公网值。

DBX Web 可以通过现有 Web 监听器提供原生 Streamable HTTP，无需额外开放第二个端口。设置 DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN（或 DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN_FILE）并配置公网 Host 白名单即可启用。容器映射为 4225:4224 时，端点为 http://localhost:4225/mcp：

environment:
  DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN: replace-with-a-long-random-secret
  DBX_WEB_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS: localhost:4225
ports:
  - "4225:4224"

客户端必须携带 Authorization: Bearer <DBX_WEB_MCP_TOKEN>。浏览器客户端还需要在 DBX_WEB_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS 中填写精确 Origin。反向代理添加路径前缀时，设置 DBX_PUBLIC_BASE_PATH，端点会变为 <base-path>/mcp。原生 HTTP 与 DBX_WEB_URL 的 stdio 适配方式可以并存，并共享同一份 DBX 策略。

Agent/JDBC 数据库

达梦、金仓KingbaseES、Oracle、DB2、Hive、Trino、Snowflake、SAP HANA 等数据库通过 DBX Java Agent/JDBC 基础设施运行，而不是通过 Node.js 数据库驱动运行。

npm 和 GitHub Release 中的原生 MCP 文件不会捆绑所有厂商的专有 JDBC Driver。请先通过 DBX Driver Manager 安装对应 Agent 和 JRE，或提供兼容的 DBX Agent 目录。

DBX 管理的 MCP 策略

DBX 在 设置 → MCP 中保存一份权威策略，并在每次请求时重新读取：

| 权限模式 | 允许的操作 | | --- | --- | | 只读 | 查询和元数据读取 | | 数据读写 | 普通插入、带有效过滤条件的更新/删除、范围明确的 MongoDB 修改和普通 Redis 写入 | | 完全访问 | 额外允许大范围更新/删除、DDL、TRUNCATE、MongoDB 破坏性操作和 Redis FLUSH* |

允许访问的连接 决定 MCP 可以列出和解析哪些稳定连接 ID。连接自身只读、生产库保护、数据库账号权限和 allowlist 在任何模式下都是权限上限。

WHERE TRUE、WHERE 1 = 1、_id: {$exists: true}、互补条件或不透明 MongoDB 过滤器仍按高风险处理。未知 Redis 命令也会失败关闭。

旧连接 scope 变量可继续兼容读取，但只能进一步收窄 DBX allowlist：

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbx-production-scope": {
      "command": "dbx-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_NAME": "production-postgres",
        "DBX_MCP_SCOPE_DATABASE": "analytics"
      }
    }
  }
}

可使用 DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_ID、逗号分隔的 DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_IDS 或 DBX_MCP_SCOPE_CONNECTION_NAME。ID scope 优先于名称 scope；作用域模式会隐藏连接增删和桌面 UI 工具。

SQL 和命令安全

请在 DBX 中选择 只读、数据读写 或 完全访问，不要在客户端配置中放置权限开关。新版 Server 不允许 DBX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITES 或 DBX_MCP_ALLOW_DANGEROUS_SQL 放宽 DBX 中央策略。为兼容升级，在中央策略首次保存前，DBX_MCP_ALLOW_WRITES=0（或 false）仍会保持 MCP 只读；策略保存后旧权限变量即被忽略。

MongoDB 更新和删除在未启用完全访问时必须提供可验证有效的 filter；$out、$merge 聚合阶段按高风险写操作处理。

常见问题

提示平台 optional package 未安装

重新安装并确保没有使用 --no-optional：

npm uninstall -g @dbx-app/mcp-server
npm install -g @dbx-app/mcp-server@latest

提示找不到 dbx.db

将 DBX_DATA_DIR 设置为包含 dbx.db 的目录，而不是数据库文件路径。

提示 DBX 未运行

普通数据库查询不一定需要启动 DBX；只有桌面 UI 工具和仍需 bridge 的连接需要 DBX 运行。

Agent 数据库无法启动

通过 DBX Driver Manager 安装或更新对应数据库 Agent、JDBC Driver 和 JRE。

出现 better-sqlite3 或 Node ABI 错误

Rust MCP 不依赖 better-sqlite3。请升级 MCP；如果错误来自 @dbx-app/cli，则属于当前仍为 TypeScript 的独立 CLI 包。

开发和测试

cargo run -p dbx-mcp --no-default-features
cargo test -p dbx-mcp --no-default-features
pnpm --filter @dbx-app/mcp-server test
cargo build --release -p dbx-mcp --no-default-features

DBX CLI

@dbx-app/cli 是独立的终端包，目前仍使用 TypeScript/Node.js：

npm install -g @dbx-app/cli
dbx connections list --json
