I Built a Free PostgreSQL Health Checker with 23 MCP Tools and CI Integration

I Built a Free PostgreSQL Health Checker with 23 MCP Tools and CI Integration After years of working with PostgreSQL in production, I kept running into the same problem: the tooling options are either expensive, complex to set up, or don't fit into a modern AI-assisted workflow. pganalyze — great product, $149/month, cloud-only Grafana + Prometheus — free, but you're maintaining 3 services pgAdmin — good for browsing, useless for automated health checks None of them work with Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant So I built pg-dash — a self-hosted, zero-config PostgreSQL health checker. One command to start npx @indiekitai/pg-dash check postgres://user:pass@host/db It runs 46+ automated checks across performance, maintenance, schema, and security, grades your database A–F, and gives you executable SQL fixes — not just a list of problems. Three things I haven't seen elsewhere 1. Migration safety checker Before you run a migration, analyze it: pg-dash check-migration ./migra
