DevDb

DevDb finds the database of your project and shows it in a panel in VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf. You do not write a connection.

Quick start

1. Install DevDb from the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX.
2. Open your project. Trust the workspace when VS Code asks.
3. Press Cmd+K Cmd+D (macOS) or Ctrl+K Ctrl+D (Windows, Linux) to open the DevDb panel.
4. Click your database under Local Databases.

If DevDb does not find your database, add a .devdbrc file. Type devdb in it to get snippets. Add .devdbrc to .gitignore, because it can contain passwords.

Requirements: VS Code 1.90 or later. DevDb runs on macOS, Windows, Linux and Alpine (x64 and arm64) and Linux armhf. See Getting Started.
