Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Thinh, solo dev behind Gridex.
I built this because I was using Claude Code daily for backend work,
and kept hitting the same loop: switch to TablePlus → copy schema →
paste into chat → query → copy result back → continue coding.
A 30-second context-switch I did 50 times a day.
So I built Gridex with an MCP server inside. Now my AI agent queries
the database directly, but I see every query and approve sensitive
ones (DELETE, UPDATE, schema changes). Best of both worlds: AI speed
+ human oversight.
What's in it:
🔹 Native macOS, Windows, Linux app — no Electron
🔹 6 databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, MSSQL
🔹 Built-in MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor compatible)
🔹 AI chat with Claude/GPT/Ollama
🔹 Apache 2.0, no telemetry
🔹 Imports connections from TablePlus, Navicat, DataGrip, DBeaver
Free Community edition. Pro tier coming later for team features (SSO,
audit logs, shared connections).
Would love your feedback, especially on the MCP permission model.
