Documentation

Everything you need to create, configure, and connect your first hosted MCP server.

Create an Account

Sign up for a free BoltSchema account. You'll receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account and access the dashboard.

Free tier includes 1 permanent MCP server profile — no credit card required.

Configure Your Data Source

From the dashboard, create a new MCP server profile. Choose your data source type and provide the connection details:

PostgreSQL Database

Provide your connection string. BoltSchema will introspect your schema and expose tables, views, and relationships as MCP tools and resources.

postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/mydb

Get Your MCP Endpoint

Once your profile is created, BoltSchema generates a unique, secure endpoint URL for your MCP server. Copy this URL to connect any MCP-compatible client.

Your MCP server endpoint:

https://mcp.boltschema.com/v1/your-token-here

Connect Your AI Assistant

Your endpoint is https://boltschema.com/api/mcp/<your-token>. How you add it depends on whether your client can run a local process:

ChatGPT & Claude.ai — just the URL

Open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, and paste the endpoint. Browser clients speak MCP streamable HTTP natively — there is no config file and nothing to install.

Claude Desktop

Desktop clients speak stdio, so they need the mcp-remote bridge (requires Node). Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "boltschema-postgres": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://boltschema.com/api/mcp/<your-token>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code

Recent versions support streamable HTTP directly — paste the endpoint URL into your editor's MCP server settings. Older versions need the mcp-remote config above.

Start Querying

That's it! Your AI assistant can now explore your database through natural language. Ask it to describe your schema or answer questions about your data — reads only, always.

Tip: Use the Sandbox in your dashboard to test your MCP server before connecting it to a production AI assistant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my database connection secure?

Yes. All credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage. Connections use TLS, and your database is only accessed when an MCP client makes a request through your server.

Can I use multiple databases?

Free tier accounts support 1 permanent profile. Paid plans allow multiple profiles with different data sources, each with their own MCP endpoint.

What happens if my database goes down?

Your MCP server will return appropriate error messages to connected clients. BoltSchema monitors connectivity and will display the status on your dashboard.
