We got tired of juggling five tools to talk to a database.
Cocobox.io is a browser-based SQL editor with real AI integration — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and GitHub Copilot through our MCP SQL server. Built for engineers and data teams who want fewer tabs, safer credentials, and a model that actually reads the schema before it writes the query.
Why we built it
Most SQL clients are either desktop apps that don't collaborate, or cloud tools that lock you into a single AI provider and charge per seat. We wanted one workspace where you can connect a PostgreSQL instance, share it with a teammate, and have Copilot answer questions about the schema without anyone exporting credentials into a Slack DM.
We also wanted the AI part to be useful, not decorative. So Cocobox ships with a proper Model Context Protocol server — your LLM of choice can list tables, describe columns, and run read-only queries under permissions you control. That's a lot more than "paste your schema into ChatGPT."
What we believe
- Credentials are sacred. Database passwords are
encrypted with AES-256 at rest. Encryption keys live in
session-scoped storage — never localStorage, never in logs, never
broadcast over
postMessage. - Pick your own AI. Bring keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or DeepSeek. Or use GitHub Copilot through MCP. You're never locked into a single vendor and you're never charged a margin on top of their tokens if you bring your own.
- Schema-aware beats schema-blind. Our MCP SQL server gives the model real tools: list tables, inspect indexes, run permissioned queries. That's why answers come back grounded instead of hallucinated.
- One price, no per-seat surprise. $25/month (regularly $30). 15-day free trial, no credit card. Unlimited database connections. Cancel in one click from the billing page.
How we build
We ship in public. Every release lands in the
changelog; deeper writeups go on the
blog. Security fixes get their own audit trail —
if you've read about our
postMessage and localStorage hardening, that
came from real work we did and documented.
We don't have a 40-person "solutions" team. If something breaks, you email devs@cocobox.io and a person who actually wrote the code responds.
Who it's for
- Backend & full-stack engineers who want to stop context-switching between a GUI client, the terminal, and ChatGPT.
- Data teams that need shared, audited access to production-adjacent databases without handing out passwords.
- Founders & solo devs who use Copilot or Cursor already and want their AI to actually know the schema.
