Works with VS Code, Cursor & Windsurf

DBCode runs anywhere VS Code does. Install from the VS Code Marketplace, or from OpenVSX for Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, and other VS Code forks. Your connections, saved queries, and AI integration work the same in every editor.

Coming from DBeaver, DataGrip, TablePlus, or SQLTools?

From DBeaver? The same multi-database coverage - Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and 90+ more - with native AI built in, and no separate Java app to run.
From DataGrip? Power-user features like execution plans, data compare, and stored procedure editing, without leaving your editor or JetBrains' commercial pricing.
From TablePlus? Cross-platform and integrated: no separate app to alt-tab to, with Copilot and MCP built in.
From SQLTools? Everything you use it for, plus inline data editing, ER diagrams, NoSQL support, and native AI - one extension, no per-database driver installs.
