60+ databases in 15 MB. Desktop & Docker self-hosting, with built-in AI assistant.

English | Go to Chinese version

🪶 15 MB, zero runtime bloat

No Java JRE. No Python venv. No bundled Chromium. DBX ships as a single small binary — download, install, connect. DBeaver needs Java; TablePlus is macOS-only. DBX runs everywhere with nothing extra.

🤖 AI that lives in your editor

Highlight a table, describe what you want, get SQL back — no copy-paste between tools. Works with Claude, OpenAI, or local models via Ollama. Built-in safety checks review AI-generated SQL before it runs.

🔌 MCP: your databases, AI-ready

DBX speaks the Model Context Protocol. Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI coding agents can query your databases through connections you already set up. One config, everywhere.

🌐 Desktop + Docker + Web

Native app on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Self-host via Docker for team access. Web version for browser-only environments. Same feature set. Same connections.
