Building My First MCP Server: Connecting Claude to PostgreSQL

A practical article about using Model Context Protocol to connect an LLM workflow to structured PostgreSQL data.

Key takeaways

  • MCP becomes compelling when it exposes structured tools that map cleanly to real systems.
  • The article connects protocol concepts to a concrete PostgreSQL workflow.
  • It reinforces the portfolio's emphasis on AI tooling, not only model integration.

This portfolio page keeps a concise internal summary while the full article remains published externally on Medium.

This article extends the same thread as the PostgreSQL MCP project by explaining the protocol from a builder’s perspective. It focuses on the practical side of making an LLM workflow useful against structured data instead of leaving the model disconnected from operational systems.

As portfolio support, it adds depth to the project page rather than repeating it. The article helps explain why protocol work matters and what kinds of engineering decisions sit behind a reliable model-to-database bridge.
