Connect SQL Server to VS Code
Enable VS Code to access your SQL Server data through secure, governed MCP servers—no manual queries or engineering bottlenecks
How it works
1. Connect your database
Provide your SQL Server connection details. We'll securely connect to your data source.
2. Define your MCP tools
Configure the tools and data available to your AI agents.
3. Deploy your MCP server
We convert your config into a production-ready MCP server with enterprise governance.
How to connect
Connect your SQL Server database
- •Host and port: SQL Server endpoint and port number
- •Database and credentials: Target database name with username and password for authentication
- •Encryption settings: Optional TLS encryption configuration (strict, preferred, or disabled)
- •Configure data access: Define which tables and queries are available to AI agents
- •Automatic deployment: We deploy your MCP server with enterprise governance—no manual setup required
Link your PostgreSQL MCP to VS Code
- 1.Open VS Code and run the MCP: Add Server command
- 2.Select 'Global' to configure across all workspaces
- 3.Add your MintMCP Gateway server URL (HTTP/SSE transport)
- 4.Configure authentication headers with your credentials
- 5.Access PostgreSQL data through GitHub Copilot Chat
Other supported AI clients
One-time setup connects SQL Server to all your AI tools
What you get
Faster deployment
Define your SQL Server 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
ERP and Dynamics data queries
Enable business users to investigate Dynamics data, ERP transactions, and back-office records through natural language—AI agents query SQL Server without T-SQL expertise or waiting on IT teams.
AI-ready vector search with SQL Server 2025
Build RAG applications, semantic search, and conversational AI with native T-SQL vector support, DiskANN indexing, and row-level security for AI workloads.
Enterprise BI and analytics queries
Let analysts investigate data warehouse trends, generate BI reports, and answer business questions through conversational queries—AI agents access in-memory OLTP and columnstore data without manual T-SQL or Azure Synapse knowledge.
Other supported databases
Connect to 30+ other database types including SQL, NoSQL, and cloud-native databases
FAQs
Yes. MintMCP Gateway is SOC 2 compliant and uses OAuth-based authentication for all database MCP interactions.
