## Detailed info

## What is QueryGlow?

QueryGlow is a self-hosted database GUI that runs as a Docker container. It provides web-based database management for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, CockroachDB, and TimescaleDB.

## What QueryGlow does

QueryGlow enables teams to browse, query, and edit databases through a web browser on their own servers. The platform includes Safe Mode, which blocks destructive operations like DROP TABLE and TRUNCATE by default. It provides Ask AI to write SQL from plain English using the schema without reading table rows. Built-in SSH tunnels support private databases, while a dedicated MCP endpoint issues scoped, read-only tokens to coding agents.

## Who QueryGlow is for

It is built for teams who want a self-hosted database GUI without seats or subscriptions.

## How QueryGlow works

Teams deploy QueryGlow as a Docker container on their server. Users open the web URL to connect to databases via direct connections or SSH tunnels, write SQL, and grant scoped MCP tokens to agents.
