Best Databases MCP Servers for VS Code
Top 18 of 18 Databases MCP servers that work with VS Code, ranked by security score — every entry below is human-reviewed, not just scraped. Every row has a one-click config for VS Code — no need to open each page.
Setting up MCP servers in VS Code
VS Code's MCP support is native (via GitHub Copilot's agent mode), configured in .vscode/mcp.json per workspace or through the "MCP: Open User Configuration" command for a config that applies everywhere. One thing that trips people up moving a config from Claude Desktop or Cursor: VS Code's top-level key is "servers", not "mcpServers" — the two aren't interchangeable.
Because .vscode/mcp.json is a normal workspace file, it can be committed alongside project code the same way project-scoped Cursor configs can — a team opening the repo in VS Code gets the same MCP servers without extra setup.

Databases + VS Code: frequently asked questions
›What's the best Databases MCP server for VS Code?
MongoDB MCP Server currently ranks highest among Databases MCP servers, with a security score of 60/100. DBHub MCP Server (58/100) is the next best option. Every server below has a one-click VS Code config.
›How do I add a Databases MCP server to VS Code?
Add an entry under "servers" in .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace, or run "MCP: Open User Configuration" from the command palette for a global config. The same steps apply to MongoDB MCP Server, the top-ranked Databases server below.
›Are Databases MCP servers safe to use with VS Code?
2 of the 18 Databases MCP servers below are officially maintained by its vendor; the rest are independently reviewed. Every score comes from real signals — permissions requested, authentication, maintenance activity — not a marketing claim. All of them are compatible with VS Code.
›How many Databases MCP servers work with VS Code?
18 Databases MCP servers have a ready-to-use VS Code config right now, ranked by security score below.
›Where do I put the Databases MCP server config for VS Code?
It's simply VS Code's own schema — Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf all use "mcpServers", but a config copied between them and VS Code needs that one key renamed. A Databases server goes in the exact same place as any other VS Code MCP server — there's no category-specific config location.
›Do I need to restart VS Code after adding a Databases MCP server?
Yes — run "MCP: Open User Configuration" from the command palette to edit a config that applies across all your workspaces. That's true whether you're adding MongoDB MCP Server or any other Databases server.
