NexQL
AI-native Postgres tooling, All in VS Code
NexQL is a PostgreSQL extension for VS Code combining a full database toolkit — tree explorer, SQL notebooks, visual designers, live dashboards. Every suggestion lands in a notebook cell for you to review and run. Production connections default to read-only, with risk scoring and environment tagging. Free AI models included, no API key needed. MCP model for advanced tooling with Copilot / Claude / Antigravity / Cursor / etc. Core is free and MIT-licensed.
AI that's leashed, not autonomous
Every AI-generated SQL lands in a notebook cell first — nothing executes without you hitting run. No agent loop that quietly writes to prod.
Free, zero-config AI — no API key, no provider account, built-in model behind a managed gateway.
Bring-your-own-model too — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Copilot, or local Ollama/LM Studio. Not locked to one vendor.
Safety is structural, not a setting
Environment tagging (PROD/STAGING/DEV) with ambient chrome tinting (Sentinel) — you can tell what you're connected to without reading text.
Production connections default to read-only; risky writes require explicit confirmation.
Query risk scoring with a status bar indicator, before the query runs — not after it fails.
Auto-LIMIT + hard 10k row cap prevent accidental full-table scans from freezing the UI.
Agentic, and grounded
The AI can autonomously look up your live schema, run EXPLAIN, trace FK join paths, and check index health — multi-turn tool calling, not single-shot prompting.
Built-in MCP server exposes the same read-only toolset to external agents (Copilot, Claude Desktop, Cursor) — with schema-grounding instructions injected so agents don't hallucinate table names.
Notebook-first, not query-window-first
.pgsql notebooks persist state across cells — you build a working session, not a disposable scratch pad.
Inline results, charts, and exports live next to the query that produced them.
Depth most competitors skip entirely
Visual, AI-assisted Row-Level Security Policy Studio.
Migration Hub auto-detects Prisma, Drizzle, Alembic, Flyway, Atlas, Knex, Rails, golang-migrate in your workspace.
Table Intelligence — profile, activity monitor, index usage, bloat detection — not just a schema browser.
Native, and actually free
Lives inside VS Code — no separate app, no context switch.
Core is MIT-licensed and never feature-gated; paid tiers lift daily caps, they don't unlock safety or AI.
