About ElectricSQL (Sync Engine) MCP Server
Connect your ElectricSQL sync engine to any AI agent to stream data directly from Postgres into your conversation context. This server leverages the Electric HTTP Sync API to fetch 'shapes' of data efficiently.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including ElectricSQL (Sync Engine) tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 2 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
What you can do
- Real-time Sync — Fetch data from Postgres tables with support for initial snapshots and incremental updates using log offsets.
- Shape Management — Define specific subsets of data (shapes) using SQL-like WHERE clauses and precise column selection.
- Live Streaming — Enable long-polling or Server-Sent Events (SSE) to keep your agent updated as data changes in the database.
- Complex Filtering — Use POST-based subset snapshots to handle complex WHERE clauses without hitting URL length limits.
- Pagination & Limits — Efficiently browse large datasets with built-in limit, offset_rows, and order_by support.
The ElectricSQL (Sync Engine) MCP Server exposes 2 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cline in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
