Odd seeing this right now for me. I recently implemented a 6NF schema for parsed XBRL files from EDGAR. The architecture was the right call... too bad the data is not useful for an…

I moved from pip to poetry a while back, but was introduced to uv recently while working on MCP stuff. I now use uv for everything and haven’t looked back.

Just a fancy way of saying that multiple agents (with their own LLMs) can concurrently connect, also that pg-mcp can simultaneously connect to multiple Postgres servers as well.

Comment #43525068
The use case for pg-mcp is server deployment - local running is just for dev purposes. HTTP/SSE enables multiple concurrent connections and network access, which stdio can't provid…

Xata.io looks very interesting!!! I was thinking about building an intelligent agent for pg-mcp as my net project but it looks like you did a lot of the hard work already. When thi…
