How AI Can Supercharge Data Teams: Real Example with MCP + Postgres
Nov 3, 2025
•
Emil Krause & Jonny Daenen
See how AI agents can now talk directly to databases accelerating debugging, analysis, and development.
Emil Krause & Jonny Daenen explore how to accelerate dbt development by integrating MCP (Model Context Protocol) with Postgres and Cursor. Emil demonstrates how to solve a database bug by allowing AI agents to interact directly with databases. They discuss the setup of a database MCP server, demonstrate its capabilities in troubleshooting data inconsistencies, and highlight the importance of understanding data even when using advanced tools. The conversation also touches on the potential pitfalls of using such tools and the need for technical expertise in leveraging them effectively.
