Synra is a managed MCP server that provides a secure gateway connection between Claude Desktop and PostgreSQL or Supabase databases. The service eliminates the need for local MCP server configuration by providing a simple URL-based connection system that works across all devices.

Key features include read-only database access by default, AES-256 encryption for credentials, SQL injection protection through query sanitization, and comprehensive audit logging of all queries. The platform supports PostgreSQL databases from various providers including AWS RDS, Neon, Railway, Render, DigitalOcean, and self-hosted instances.

The service works through a four-step process: users first obtain their database credentials, save them securely in Synra's encrypted system, copy the generated secure MCP endpoint 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 eliminating configuration headaches, providing production-ready security features, enabling team collaboration through centralized credential management, and reducing setup time from 30+ minutes per device to under 60 seconds total. The read-only default ensures database safety while allowing natural language querying capabilities.

Synra is built for developers who want to ask their database questions in natural language without spending time configuring MCP servers. It integrates directly with Claude Desktop and supports team usage through centralized dashboard management and shared credential systems.
