DATABASE_URLsetups. More - Browse and edit. Filter rows, edit values, set
null, delete rows. Undo, redo and save withCmd+Z,Cmd+YandCmd+S. More - Editor features. Go to a table (
Cmd+K Cmd+G), open the table at the cursor, generate Laravel factories from real data, explain MySQL queries, export as JSON or SQL. More - MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and other MCP clients can read your schema and run queries. Localhost only, with a token, read-only by default. More

Quick start
- Install DevDb from the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX.
- Open your project. Trust the workspace when VS Code asks.
- Press
Cmd+K Cmd+D(macOS) orCtrl+K Ctrl+D(Windows, Linux) to open the DevDb panel. - Click your database under Local Databases.
If DevDb does not find your database, add a .devdbrc file. Type devdb in it to get snippets. Add .devdbrc to .gitignore, because it can contain passwords.
Requirements: VS Code 1.90 or later. DevDb runs on macOS, Windows, Linux and Alpine (x64 and arm64) and Linux armhf. See Getting Started.
