What you get
Faster deployment
Define your Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL connection once, then add more MCP tools as needed through simple config updates. No code required.
Rapid iteration
Build team or use-case specific tools rapidly by adding new queries and parameters to your config. Deploy updates in minutes, not days.
Enterprise governance
All database access goes through MintMCP Gateway with full observability, authentication, rate limiting, and audit trails.
Why MintMCP gateway
Centralized governance
Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for all database MCP connections.
One-click deployment
Instantly enable database MCP for AI teams via MintMCP's standardized gateway without manual server setup.
OAuth + SSO enforcement
Automatic enterprise authentication wrapping for database MCP endpoints.
Host stdio servers on MintMCP instead of running locally
Containerized servers become accessible to clients like ChatGPT without local installations. Better risk management and security posture without requiring users to run servers on their machines.
Observability and control
Real-time dashboards for monitoring usage, detecting anomalies, and maintaining SLA compliance.
Enterprise hardening
High availability, security, and compliance alignment transform MCP from developer utility to production-grade infrastructure.
Supports shared and per-user auth
Flexibility to configure service accounts at the admin level or enable individual OAuth flows. Secrets remain protected while users gain access, with centralized revocation capabilities.
Granular tool access control
Configure tool access by role. For example, enable read-only operations and exclude write tools like create and delete.
Use cases
Product analytics teams
Enable product managers to query user behavior, feature adoption, and engagement metrics without waiting on data engineering.
Finance and operations
Create governed tools for revenue tracking, financial reporting, and operational dashboards accessible through natural language.
Customer success teams
Build AI-powered tools for customer health monitoring, churn prediction, and account usage analysis from your Cloud SQL PostgreSQL database.
Other supported databases
Connect to 30+ other database types including SQL, NoSQL, and cloud-native databases
