Understanding Model Context Protocol (MCP) and building AI Agents for PostgreSQL database management
April 21–22
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is revolutionizing how AI agents interact with external systems, and PostgreSQL databases are no exception. This talk introduces MCP servers as a standardized interface that enables AI agents to perform sophisticated database operations beyond simple query execution.
We'll explore how MCP servers bridge the gap between AI agents and PostgreSQL, providing structured access to database internals, performance metrics, and administrative functions. Unlike traditional monitoring tools that require human interpretation, MCP-enabled AI agents can autonomously diagnose performance issues, detect anomalies, and execute corrective actions in real-time.
This talk will include a demo showing how AI agents can use MCP servers to identify and fix performance issues. It is ideal for database administrators, developers, and anyone interested in the intersection of AI and database management. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge of implementing MCP servers and building AI agents that can significantly reduce manual database maintenance overhead while improving system reliability.
