About

What is Tabularis?

Tabularis is an open-source desktop SQL workspace designed for modern database management, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, and SQLite. It offers a comprehensive set of features including a modern SQL editor, data grid, visual query builder, and visual EXPLAIN. A key differentiator is its built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI agents like Claude and Cursor to inspect schemas and run queries directly through the application. The tool is hackable with a plugin ecosystem, enabling extensions for various engines and workflows. It also includes SQL notebooks for reusable analysis, SSH tunneling for secure access, and a task manager for monitoring plugin processes, making it a robust solution for developers working with multiple databases and AI-driven workflows.

FAQs

What databases does Tabularis support?

Tabularis natively supports PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, and SQLite. Its extensible plugin system allows for additional database support, with plugins available for DuckDB, CSV folders, and Redis, and a bounty board for community-funded drivers like Oracle and SQL Server.

How does Tabularis integrate with AI agents?

Tabularis features a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This allows compatible AI agents, such as Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf, to securely inspect your database schemas and execute queries directly through the Tabularis application, streamlining AI-driven database interactions.

Can I extend Tabularis with custom functionality?

Yes, Tabularis is highly hackable with an external plugin system. Plugins are standalone executables that communicate via JSON-RPC 2.0, allowing developers to write drivers in any language (Rust, Go, Python, Node.js) and extend engines or workflows independently of the core release cycle.
