I built dbridge after repeatedly hitting the same workflow gap with AI-assisted backend work: the agent could help write code, but it couldn't safely inspect the database to verify behavior.

dbridge is a cross-platform CLI + MCP server for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. It lets the agent query the database without exposing raw database credentials to the agent itself. Credentials stay in a dedicated OS keychain, not in config files or chat, and read-only is enforced by default.

The post explains the design trade-offs. Repo: https://github.com/thalesfp/dbridge

Show HN: BossDesk – Native macOS app to monitor your pg-boss job queues

thalesfp — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 23:11:11 +0000

Hey HN! I built BossDesk because I got tired of writing SQL queries every time I wanted to check on my background jobs.

  If you use pg-boss (PostgreSQL job queue), this gives you a native Mac app to see what's happening: live queue stats, job inspection, retry/cancel operations, and cron schedules.

  It's free on the Mac App Store and open source. Your database credentials stay in your Keychain – nothing leaves your machine.

  Works with pg-boss v7-v11+ and auto-detects your schema version, so no config needed.

  Would love to hear what you think, especially if you're managing background jobs and have ideas for features!
