Work in your databases, not around them.
NOCTIS is a desktop SQL client for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite, with a fast data grid, a real SQL editor, schema tools, and an MCP server that lets Claude or Cursor read and change your data only as far as you allow.
Free for 3 connections. Every Pro feature for 14 days, no card needed.
The everyday work, done in fewer clicks.
Let AI assistants work with your data, on your terms.
NOCTIS runs a Model Context Protocol server for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other clients. They can list tables, read schemas, run queries and explain plans using the connections you already saved, and never see a password.
- Per connection
- Each connection is Off, Read or Write for MCP clients. Connections tagged production start at Off.
- Two-step writes
- A change runs first in a transaction that is always rolled back. Only the exact same SQL can then be applied, once.
- Row limits
- Writes that would touch more rows than the connection allows are refused. The default limit is 1,000.
- Undo
- Before-images of updated and deleted rows are kept, so you can revert a change from the activity panel.
- Audit log
- Every call an AI client makes is recorded on your computer, with the client's name and timing.
Add it to Claude Code. Settings › MCP shows the config for other clients.

Analyze on production?
EXPLAIN ANALYZE runs the query on the production connection "acme-store" to measure it. Only a read-only SELECT can be analyzed, but it still puts load on the server.
CancelAnalyze
- Production looks like production
- Tag each connection with its environment. The tag follows you into every tab, and risky actions on production ask first.
- Read-only when it should be
- Open a connection in the server's read-only mode, so a stray UPDATE fails before it can do harm.
- Passwords stay in your system
- Passwords and SSH keys live in the Windows Credential Manager, never in a plain settings file.
- Tunnels you can trust
- Connect through SSH with host key checks against your known_hosts file, or over TLS with your own certificates.
The tools you reach for once a week are here too.

Which systems does NOCTIS run on?
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. macOS and Linux builds are planned.
What happens when the 14-day trial ends?
NOCTIS switches to the free plan. Your connections, history and snippets stay. Pro features come back as soon as you activate a license.
On how many computers can I use a license?
Pro works on one computer, Team on one computer per seat. To move a license, deactivate it in NOCTIS under Settings › License or from your account on this site.
What happens if I cancel?
Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for. If you paid for 12 months in a row, you keep a perpetual license for every version released until your subscription ended.
Does NOCTIS send my data anywhere?
No. Connections, passwords, queries and results stay on your computer. NOCTIS contacts our license server to check your license, sending only the license ID and an anonymous hash of your computer's ID, and GitHub to look for updates.
Can an AI client change my data?
Only on connections you set to Write. Every change is previewed in a rolled-back transaction first, limited to a row count you choose, logged, and can be undone from the activity panel.
