PostgreBase

PostgreBase — AI原生的无代码API开发工具

PostgreBase 是 AI 原生的无代码 API 开发平台，基于 PocketBase 重构。内置 MCP (Model Context Protocol) 服务器，让 AI 工具（Claude、Cursor、Windsurf）直接操作你的数据。支持 PostgreSQL、MySQL、SQLite 三种数据库，提供即时 REST API + 实时订阅 + Admin UI，5分钟上线你的后端服务。

Features

• Three Database Engines:
  • PostgreSQL (default) — production-grade concurrency, clustering, and complex queries.
  • MySQL — fully compatible via the mysql:// DSN prefix.
  • SQLite (pure Go, no CGO) — zero-dependency local development and testing via sqlite:// DSN or .db file path.
• Cluster-Ready Architecture: No reliance on local database files means multiple instances can run behind a load balancer with a shared PostgreSQL/MySQL backend.
• Hybrid Caching:
  • Redis Cache (--redisDsn) — distributed caching for cluster environments; SSE Realtime subscriptions synchronize across nodes via Redis Pub/Sub.
  • In-Memory Cache — automatic fallback to high-performance local memory caching when Redis is not configured.
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server:
  • JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol enabling AI tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) to interact with your data.
  • 8 built-in tools: list_collections, get_collection, list_records, get_record, create_record, update_record, delete_record, search_records.
  • Resources: postgrebase://collections, postgrebase://settings.
  • Three transport modes: SSE (HTTP), Streamable HTTP, and Stdio.
  • MCP-specific API tokens with expiration support, manageable from the Admin UI.
• Zero External Dependencies for SQLite: Uses modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go transpilation of SQLite), builds with CGO_ENABLED=0.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Go 1.26.2+
• PostgreSQL, MySQL, or nothing (SQLite works out of the box)

Build

git clone https://github.com/zhenruyan/postgrebase.git
cd postgrebase
go build -o pb ./build/

For static builds (no CGO):

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o pb ./build/

Run

SQLite (Local Development)

# Using sqlite:// prefix
./pb serve --dataDsn "sqlite://./pb_data/dev.db"

# Or just pass a .db file path
./pb serve --dataDsn "./pb_data/dev.db"

PostgreSQL (Recommended for Production)

./pb serve --dataDsn "postgresql://user:[email protected]:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable"

MySQL

./pb serve --dataDsn "mysql://user:password@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/dbname"

With Redis Cache

./pb serve --dataDsn "postgres://..." --redisDsn "redis://127.0.0.1:6379/0"

Docker

# Build the image
docker build -t postgrebase .

# Run with SQLite
docker run -p 8090:8090 -v pb_data:/pb/pb_data postgrebase serve --dataDsn "sqlite:///pb/pb_data/dev.db"

# Run with PostgreSQL
docker run -p 8090:8090 postgrebase serve --dataDsn "postgres://user:pass@host:5432/db?sslmode=disable"

# Run with Redis
docker run -p 8090:8090 postgrebase serve --dataDsn "postgres://..." --redisDsn "redis://host:6379/0"

On startup the server prints its endpoints:

├─ REST API: http://127.0.0.1:8090/api/
├─ MCP SSE:  http://127.0.0.1:8090/api/mcp/sse
└─ Admin UI: http://127.0.0.1:8090/_/

Configuration Flags

DSN Formats

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

PostgreBase includes a built-in MCP server that allows AI tools to interact with your data via a standardized JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.

Transport Modes

SSE (Server-Sent Events) — HTTP

Available when running ./pb serve. Connect to:

GET  http://localhost:8090/api/mcp/sse      # SSE event stream
POST http://localhost:8090/api/mcp/message   # Send JSON-RPC requests
POST http://localhost:8090/api/mcp/stream    # Streamable HTTP (single request/response)

Stdio — CLI

Run the MCP server as a standalone process communicating over stdin/stdout:

./pb mcp --dataDsn "sqlite://./dev.db" --mcp-token "YOUR_TOKEN"

# Or disable auth (NOT recommended for production)
./pb mcp --dataDsn "sqlite://./dev.db" --mcp-no-auth

Claude Desktop Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgrebase": {
      "command": "/path/to/pb",
      "args": ["mcp", "--dataDsn", "sqlite:///path/to/dev.db", "--mcp-no-auth"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Tokens

For production use, create dedicated MCP tokens (prefixed with mcp_) from the Admin UI under Settings → MCP Tokens. These tokens:

• Are separate from admin JWT tokens.
• Can be revoked individually.
• Support optional expiration dates.
• Are shown in full only once at creation time.

Available Resources

Development

Building Admin UI

If you modify the Admin UI, rebuild the embedded assets before compiling the Go binary:

cd ui
npm install
npm run build
cd ..
go build -o pb ./build/
