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.
LlamaIndex agents combine ElectricSQL (Sync Engine) tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 2 tools through Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn. ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
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 LlamaIndex in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
