MCP: databases, backups and deploy hooks from your AI assistant

The ngris MCP server now runs managed databases, their backups, restores and exports, and your apps' deploy hooks. Each change it makes shows in your audit log.

MCP: databases, backups and deploy hooks from your AI assistant

Your AI assistant could already create endpoints, deploy apps and read traffic through the ngris MCP server. Your databases and the hooks that start deploys still meant a trip to the dashboard.

New tools cover both. Connect the MCP server to your assistant and ask in plain words, for example: "Back up the orders database now, make sure it's backed up every day at 03:00 UTC and kept for a week, export the old reports-archive, and give the docs site a deploy hook for our CMS." Above is Acme Labs' audit log right after Maya asked exactly that: every change, under her name, from an API client.

The orders database's Backups tab: an On demand backup taken 6 minutes ago and completed, above the automatic backups
The backup the assistant took sits at the top of the orders database's Backups tab, above the automatic ones.
The docs app's Deploy hooks card: cms-publish on branch main, never called
The deploy hook it added to the docs site. Its URL was shown once, in the assistant's answer; the card shows only its first characters.

What your assistant can do now

  • Databases. List, create, rename and delete managed databases, add users and give them new passwords, and connect a database to an app. A new password is shown once.
  • Backups. Back up now, list backups, restore one, delete one, and set the automatic schedule. A restore replaces the database's data, so your assistant names the backup and the apps it affects, and asks you first.
  • Exports. Export a paused database whenever you need its data.
  • Downloads. Fetch a small backup or export through the assistant; larger files download from the dashboard.
  • Deploy hooks. List an app's hooks, add one, give one a new URL, or delete it. A new URL is shown once.
  • Functions. Create function apps on the Node.js 24 runtime, and write and attach edge functions.
  • Your role, your log. The assistant acts as you, with your role, and every change it makes is in the account's audit log.
