Schedule - Nordic PGDay 2026
Building Real-Time, Data-Aware Intelligence with Postgres & Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Date: 2026-03-24
Time: 15:10–16:00
Room: Vision 1
Level: Beginner
Imagine asking an AI agent to analyze any data, only for it to hallucinate a schema that doesn't exist. This "context gap" is the primary barrier to reliable Data-Aware AI. While LLMs are brilliant reasoners, they are historically "blind" to the live, structured world of Postgres - until now!
In this talk, we will explore how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) bridges this gap, transforming Postgres from a passive storage layer into an active reasoning engine. We’ll dive into the architecture of a Postgres MCP server, demonstrating how it provides agents with secure, structured access to schemas and metadata. By utilizing tools like pg_catalog and EXPLAIN, we enable LLMs to understand table relationships and optimize performance before running queries.
Expect live demos and practical insights.
Key Takeaways:
- How Postgres + MCP provides LLMs with correct, real-time database context.
- Leveraging Postgres metadata and schema to eliminate SQL hallucinations.
- Implementing secure, multi-tenant, and read-only access for AI agents.
- Enabling AI agents to use EXPLAIN and other tools for self-optimization.
- Live demo to deploy a MCP server to connect Postgres with AI agents.
