Local-first database and infrastructure studio for Windows

Best for: Windows developers who want databases, SSH, SFTP/S3, and SMTP in one local-first studio — with optional Cursor MCP by connection name

Key differentiator: One Windows workbench for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, LibSQL, SSH, S3, SFTP/FTP, and SMTP — credentials encrypted on-device; Cursor talks via nexoxa-mcp using saved names, never raw URLs.

Pros

  • Local encrypted vault — credentials stay on your machine
  • FK knowledge graph and schema-aware Copilot (BYOK)
  • Cursor MCP connects by saved connection name only
  • Free tier with up to 5 saved connections on Microsoft Store

Cons

  • Windows desktop today (not macOS/Linux yet)
  • Desktop app is proprietary; public npm packages (nexoxa-mcp) are open for integration

Supported

  • PostgreSQL
  • MySQL
  • MariaDB
  • MongoDB
  • Redis
  • LibSQL
  • Turso
  • SSH
  • S3
  • SFTP
  • FTP
  • SMTP
