Tabularis is an open-source SQL workspace for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and 23 other databases. Its built-in MCP server lets Claude, Cursor and Devin read your schema and run queries.
In 2026, a lot of real SQL gets drafted and run by AI agents inside Claude Code, Cursor and Devin, not just typed by a person. Tabularis is the open source desktop client built for that shift.
Built-in MCP ServerSSH and Kubernetes tunneling, system keychain for secrets. Your data and credentials never leave your machine.
Monaco editor, notebooks, visual query builder, visual EXPLAIN, ER diagrams, split view. You don't trade the IDE for the agent.
Everything you need to write, understand, and manage SQL, without leaving the app.
Turn execution plans into interactive graphs, exact node tables, raw output, and optional AI analysis. Spot costly scans, estimate gaps, and optimizer choices faster.
Learn moreCombine SQL and Markdown in multi-cell workflows. Keep inline results, lightweight charts, shared variables, and parameters — repeatable analysis, not throwaway scratch files.
Learn moreBuild joins, filters, and aggregations visually, then inspect the generated SQL. Useful when exploring a schema or assembling a query before dropping down to raw SQL.
Learn moreExplain unfamiliar queries and iterate faster while staying in control of your provider. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or Ollama for fully local use.
Learn moreSame client, different entry point — pick the one closest to your setup.
Give Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf safe, schema-aware access to your databases through Tabularis — the first open-source desktop SQL client with a built-in Model Context Protocol server.
A developer-focused PostgreSQL desktop client with SQL editing, notebooks, schema tools, SSH, and local AI workflows.
A developer-focused MySQL and MariaDB desktop client with SQL editing, schema tools, SSH, and reusable notebook workflows.
A lightweight desktop workflow for developers who use SQLite for local apps, prototypes, tooling, and embedded products.
Understand slow queries instantly. Turn raw database execution plans into interactive color-coded graphs, tree tables, and get AI-powered recommendations.
A local-first database client with SSH tunneling, system keychain storage, and controlled desktop workflows for modern teams.
A local desktop database client for Linux users who want PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, SSH, and a modern SQL workflow.
A native Postgres GUI for macOS with a Monaco-based SQL editor, notebooks, SSH tunneling, keychain-backed secrets, and MCP-ready AI workflows.
Extend Tabularis beyond SQL defaults with plugin-driven workflows for databases like DuckDB and Redis.
Notebooks, plugins, and AI-native workflows: see what the others are missing.
Every driver is a standalone plugin that talks JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout. Write one in any language that speaks it, install it live, no restart needed.
Release notes, engineering deep dives, and behind-the-scenes looks at how Tabularis gets built.
