PostgreSQL MCP Server v1.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: December 2025
Docker Image: writenotenow/postgres-mcp-enhanced:v1.2.0
PyPI Package: postgres-mcp-enhanced v1.2.0


🎉 What's New in v1.2.0

This is a feature release introducing intelligent tool filtering to optimize the PostgreSQL MCP Server for any client. Version 1.2.0 solves client tool limits, reduces token consumption, and improves performance while maintaining 100% backward compatibility.

🎛️ Major Feature: Tool Filtering

NEW: POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER Environment Variable

Control which tools are exposed to your MCP client with a simple, flexible filtering system:

# Windsurf (100-tool limit) - reduces to ~35 tools
POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER="-vector,-geo,-stats,-text"

# No pgvector/PostGIS extensions - reduces to 48 tools
POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER="-vector,-geo"

# Core database only - reduces to 9 tools
POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER="-json,-text,-stats,-performance,-vector,-geo,-backup,-monitoring"

Why Tool Filtering Matters

Client Compatibility

  • Stay under Windsurf's 100-tool hard limit
  • Avoid Cursor's performance warnings at ~80 tools
  • Improve stability for all MCP clients

Token Savings (24-86% reduction)

  • 44% savings: ~5,600 tokens with -vector,-geo,-stats,-text
  • 24% savings: ~3,000 tokens with -vector,-geo
  • 86% savings: ~10,800 tokens with core-only configuration

Cost Reduction

  • Save $1.68-$3.24 per conversation (GPT-4 pricing)
  • Save $900-$3,240 per 1,000 conversations
  • Reduce token overhead without losing functionality

Performance Benefits

  • Faster tool discovery by AI
  • Better tool selection with reduced noise
  • Lower API latency with smaller payloads
  • More context space for actual data

Smart Filtering

  • Remove tools requiring missing PostgreSQL extensions
  • Disable execute_sql for read-only environments
  • Customize tool sets by use case (dev, prod, CI/CD, analytics)

🎯 Key Features

Flexible Filter Syntax

Syntax Description Example
-group Disable all tools in a group -vector disables 8 vector tools
-tool Disable a specific tool -execute_sql disables only execute_sql
+tool Re-enable a tool after group disable +list_schemas re-enables list_schemas

Rules process left-to-right - order matters for fine-grained control!

9 Tool Groups

Group Tool Count Description
core 9 Schema management, SQL execution, health monitoring
json 11 JSONB operations, validation, security scanning
text 5 Similarity search, full-text search, fuzzy matching
stats 8 Descriptive stats, correlation, regression, time series
performance 6 Query optimization, index tuning, workload analysis
vector 8 Embeddings, similarity search, clustering (requires pgvector)
geo 7 Distance calculation, spatial queries (requires PostGIS)
backup 4 Backup planning, restore validation, scheduling
monitoring 5 Real-time monitoring, capacity planning, alerting

Total: 63 tools across 9 groups

Token Savings Calculator

Configuration Tools Tokens Saved Savings % Cost Saved/Conversation*
No filtering 63 0 0% $0
-vector,-geo,-stats,-text 35 ~5,600 44% $1.68
-vector,-geo 48 ~3,000 24% $0.90
Core + JSON only 20 ~8,600 68% $2.58
Core only 9 ~10,800 86% $3.24

*Based on GPT-4 pricing (~$0.03/1K tokens) for 10-exchange conversation


🚀 Quick Start

Docker with Tool Filtering

# Pull the latest image
docker pull writenotenow/postgres-mcp-enhanced:v1.2.0

# Run with Windsurf-optimized filtering
docker run -i --rm \
  -e DATABASE_URI="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db" \
  -e POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER="-vector,-geo,-stats,-text" \
  writenotenow/postgres-mcp-enhanced:v1.2.0 \
  --access-mode=restricted

Python Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install postgres-mcp-enhanced==1.2.0

# Set filter in your environment
export POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER="-vector,-geo"
postgres-mcp --access-mode=restricted

One-Click Cursor Installation

🔧 Configuration Examples

Windsurf (100-Tool Limit)

Add to MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "DATABASE_URI", "-e", "POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER",
        "writenotenow/postgres-mcp-enhanced:v1.2.0",
        "--access-mode=restricted"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URI": "postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db",
        "POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER": "-vector,-geo,-stats,-text"
      }
    }
  }
}

Result: 35 tools exposed, well under 100-tool limit, 44% token savings

Cursor IDE (Optimal Performance)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres-mcp": {
      "command": "postgres-mcp",
      "args": ["--access-mode=restricted"],
      "env": {
        "DATABASE_URI": "postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db",
        "POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER": "-vector,-geo"
      }
    }
  }
}

Result: 48 tools, avoids ~80 tool warning, 24% token savings

Claude Desktop (No Extensions)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgres-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "DATABASE_URI", "-e", "POSTGRES_MCP_TOOL_FILTER",
