PawSQL can be used through a web console, an IDE extension, an MCP-compatible AI client, or an API integration. Select where the PawSQL service will run first, then configure identity, network access, and client connectivity.

​
Choose a setup

Use PawSQL Cloud

Deploy PawSQL Server

Install an IDE extension

For DBeaver, JetBrains IDEs, or Visual Studio Code.

Configure PawSQL MCP

​
Standard access flow

1

Identify the service

Obtain the official PawSQL Cloud URL or the approved endpoint for your PawSQL Server deployment.
2

Provision identity and permissions

Sign in or request an account, then join the correct organization or project.
3

Verify network access

Confirm that browsers, IDEs, MCP clients, or integration workers can reach the service.
4

Configure the client

Install the required extension or runtime and add the endpoint and credentials.
5

Run an end-to-end check

Submit a sanitized test query and confirm authentication, authorization, and analysis services.

​
What to prepare

  • PawSQL service endpoint and version;
  • user account, organization, and project;
  • required product permissions;
  • supported browser, IDE, or MCP client;
  • proxy, DNS, firewall, TLS, and certificate requirements;
  • infrastructure, storage, and backup plans for a private deployment;
  • DDL or database connectivity for the first workspace.

​
Endpoint guidance

  • Prefer HTTPS.
  • Keep test and production endpoints clearly separated.
  • Do not append undocumented API paths.
  • Verify certificate trust on every client type.
  • When using a gateway, confirm request-size and timeout policies for SQL analysis tasks.
Keep passwords and access tokens out of source control, screenshots, tickets, and shell history. Use an approved secret store whenever the client supports one.

​
Completion criteria

  • The service opens at the expected endpoint.
  • Authentication succeeds.
  • The correct organization and project are visible.
  • Menus match the user’s role.
  • Client connection tests succeed.
  • A sanitized test task can be created and completed.
