Quick Start

Docker:

docker run --rm --init \
   --name dbhub \
   --publish 8080:8080 \
   bytebase/dbhub \
   --transport http \
   --port 8080 \
   --dsn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable"

NPM: (requires Node.js >= 22.5.0)

npx @bytebase/dbhub@latest --transport http --port 8080 --dsn "postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname?sslmode=disable"

Demo Mode:

npx @bytebase/dbhub@latest --transport http --port 8080 --demo

Restrict to loopback (recommended for production):

npx @bytebase/dbhub@latest --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 --demo

The HTTP transport defaults to --host 0.0.0.0, exposing DBHub on every network interface. For production, bind to 127.0.0.1 and front DBHub with a reverse proxy (nginx/Caddy) or firewall — DBHub does not authenticate HTTP clients.

The HTTP transport also has built-in DNS-rebinding protection: it only accepts requests whose Host is loopback, this machine's own hostname/IPs, or a name you allow via --allowed-hosts. If a client behind a reverse proxy or custom DNS name gets a 403, add that hostname with --allowed-hosts.

See Command-Line Options for all available parameters.

Multi-Database Setup

Connect to multiple databases simultaneously using TOML configuration files. Perfect for managing production, staging, and development databases from a single DBHub instance.

See Multi-Database Configuration for complete setup instructions.

DBHub includes a built-in web interface for interacting with your database tools. It provides a visual way to execute queries, run custom tools, and view request traces without requiring an MCP client.
