Welcome to QueryGlow

QueryGlow is a self-hosted database GUI that runs as a Docker container in your own infrastructure. Connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, CockroachDB, and TimescaleDB with built-in SSH tunnels, AI-powered SQL generation, and Safe Mode protection against accidental data loss — plus visual schema editing (add, rename or drop columns and change types with an exact SQL preview) and agent access via MCP: scoped tokens, read-only by default, enforced by the database.
