## What it is
DevDb is a zero-config VS Code extension that auto-discovers your project's database and displays its records and schema directly inside the editor to aid development and debugging. It supports engines like MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse, and DuckDB, and can expose database context to AI IDEs through an MCP server.

## Use cases
- view and browse database tables inside vscode without switching apps
- zero-config database extension for vs code
- inspect mysql database in a laravel sail or ddev project while coding
- generate eloquent models from the database schema
- open a specific table quickly with a keyboard shortcut
- give my database schema to cursor or windsurf via mcp
- search similar rows with pgvector embeddings from the editor

## When to choose
- You develop locally against MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, or Redis and want data visible in VS Code with no manual configuration
- You use Laravel, DDEV, Adonis, Supabase, or containerized setups and want automatic database discovery plus framework-specific affordances
- You want an MCP server that hands database schema and records to AI-powered IDEs

## When to avoid
- You need a full standalone database GUI with administration, user management, or advanced import/export tooling
- You do not use VS Code or an MCP-capable editor, since DevDb is built as a VS Code extension
- You only need to run complex ad-hoc SQL analytics rather than inspect and debug app data during development
