Managed database connectors vs custom MCP servers

​
Managed database connectors

Use these when you want Vizkraft to connect directly to a supported SQL database. This is the fastest path if your data is already in PostgreSQL, MySQL, or ClickHouse.

​
Custom MCP server

Use this when your team already has an MCP-compatible server or when you want Vizkraft to access tools beyond a single managed SQL connector.

​
What to name a connector

Choose names that help people pick the right source in chat. Good examples:
  • Production PostgreSQL
  • Marketing warehouse
  • Finance MCP
  • Customer support analytics

​
Edit or retest an existing connector

From the connectors list you can:
  • Open a connector to review its status.
  • Edit its settings.
  • Run another connection test after credentials or endpoints change.
  • Jump directly into indexing for supported SQL sources.

​
Use one or more connectors in chat

After connectors are saved, they become available in chat. You can:
  • Enable a single connector for a focused question.
  • Enable multiple connectors when the answer needs information from more than one source.
  • Switch connectors between questions without rebuilding the connector itself.

​
Best practices

  • Create one connector per stable data source rather than reusing a generic catch-all name.
  • Test the connector before saving it so your first chat session starts smoothly.
  • If a connector feeds charts or dashboards for multiple teams, give it a clear business name.
  • Run indexing after setup for the best chart and dashboard suggestions.

​
Continue with indexing

Once the connector is saved, move on to Index your data.
