What is the pgvector (Vector Database) MCP Server?
Connect your PostgreSQL + pgvector database to any AI agent and manage vector embeddings, similarity searches, and index optimizations through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Vector Similarity Search — Run nearest-neighbor queries using cosine, L2, or inner product distance metrics across millions of embeddings with a single prompt.
- Table Management — Discover which tables contain vector columns, create new embedding tables with custom dimensions, and inspect your schema.
- Embedding CRUD — Insert, update, and delete individual vector entries with metadata, keeping your knowledge base fresh and accurate.
- Index Optimization — Create HNSW or IVFFlat indexes on vector columns to accelerate approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) queries by orders of magnitude.
How it works
- Subscribe to the pgvector integration on the marketplace.
- Paste your PostgreSQL connection string (e.g.,
postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db). - Ask your AI agent to search vectors, create tables, or optimize indexes.
Who is this for?
- AI Engineers — Build RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines that query production embeddings without writing custom API endpoints.
- Data Architects — Manage vector schemas, monitor index performance, and optimize query latency from a single conversational interface.
- Fullstack Developers — Add semantic search to existing apps by querying pgvector directly through your AI agent, no new microservices needed.

Frequently asked questions
Does the agent connect directly to my database?
Yes. Your connection string is encrypted at rest and injected into an isolated runtime. The agent connects directly to your PostgreSQL instance — no intermediate proxies, no data copies, no third-party storage.
What vector dimensions are supported?
Any dimension supported by pgvector — from small 128-d vectors to large 3072-d embeddings (e.g., OpenAI text-embedding-3-large). Specify the dimension when creating a table and the agent handles the rest.
Which distance metrics can I use for similarity search?
pgvector supports three operators: <-> (L2/Euclidean distance), <=> (cosine distance), and <#> (negative inner product). The agent uses cosine distance by default, which works best for normalized embeddings like those from OpenAI.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
