Synra is a managed MCP gateway. Add your database credentials, get a secure URL, paste it into Claude Desktop — done. No JSON config files, noenv headaches, no local server setup. Currently supports PostgreSQL and Supabase. Read-only by default. Credentials encrypted with AES-256. Built for developers who want to ask their database questions in natural language without spending an hour configuring MCP servers.

@sam_h11 Congrats Sam. Does Synra support advanced features like custom SQL queries, write access, or schema introspection, and if so, how do you make those safe?
Synra
@kimberly_ross Thanks! Here's where things stand:
✔ Custom SQL — yes, Claude can run any SELECT query against your DB
✔ Schema introspection — yes, list_tables and describe_table are built-in
✖ Write access — intentionally read-only for now. Every query is validated against a blocklist (no DROP, DELETE, INSERT, ALTER, etc.)
On the security side: credentials are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and decrypted only at request time. Nothing sensitive is ever logged.
Write access is something I'll add eventually with explicit opt-in, but I wanted the default to be safe.

good luck on the launch! congrats!

@apexflux Thank you so much.
Cool launch! Would there be some way to connect to databases behind a firewall?
Synra
@wilco_kruijer1 Great question! If your DB is publicly accessible but IP-restricted, you can whitelist Synra's server IP and it'll work today. For fully private/internal networks, that's on the roadmap — would require a lightweight local agent. What's your setup? Would help me prioritize it.
I've been using claude code for the past couple of weeks and have such a headache every time I'm connecting to my database, this app looks like it'll streamline the whole process.

@rebecca_jones14 That's exactly why I built this! Would love to have you try it — you can be set up and querying in under 2 minutes. Happy to help you get connected if you hit any snags 🙌
