Super easy and mostly there it appears!

This didn't work for me since I just have dbhub in node_modules, not globally, so Claude couldn't find it.

(I see this is outdated but the relevant piece is dbhub as opposed to npx dbhub or similar, which is still there)

There are also a couple of README updates: remove the note about database access not being on this branch (since it is!) and change the .env instructions to use the new variable names.

Claude added "pg": "^8.21.0" as an explicit dependency here
The first purpose of this repo is to provide a streamlined way for non-engineering staff to use Claude to query the database. To that end, this commit adds MCP server config to this repo, and instructions for how to clone the repo and set it up such that Claude will be able to read (and only read) our production database.

Working! So cool. We'll have to follow up with a skill telling Claude not to show SQL commands, etc.
