Synra is a managed MCP server that enables users to connect Claude Desktop to their PostgreSQL and SQL databases through a secure gateway. The service eliminates the complex setup process typically associated with local MCP servers by providing a simple URL-based connection method.

Key features include support for PostgreSQL and Supabase databases, read-only access by default, AES-256 encryption for credentials, full audit logging of all queries, and built-in SQL injection protection. The service provides a centralized dashboard for team management and allows connections from any device using a single secure URL.

The system works through a four-step process: users provide their database credentials from services like Supabase, Neon, AWS RDS, or Railway; Synra encrypts these credentials with AES-256 and generates a secure MCP endpoint; users copy their unique URL; and paste it into Claude Desktop's connector settings. This eliminates the need for JSON config files and environment variable management across multiple devices.

Benefits include rapid setup completed in under 60 seconds, enhanced security with read-only defaults and query sanitization, and team collaboration features with centralized credential management. Use cases include querying database schemas, analyzing user data, counting records, and exploring table structures through natural language conversations with Claude.

The product targets developers who want to query their databases using natural language without spending time configuring MCP servers. It supports PostgreSQL databases including AWS RDS, Neon, Railway, Render, DigitalOcean, and self-hosted instances, with plans to add more connectors based on user feedback.
