Backed by 39,500+ GitHub stars and over 339 releases, MindsDB delivers the open-source federated query engine that gives AI agents a single SQL interface to read, join, and aggregate across 200+ live data sources without any ETL pipelines or data movement. The Connect-Unify-Respond architecture wires up Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Redshift, Databricks, Salesforce, Shopify, Slack, S3, GCS, Azure Blob, and dozens more through self-contained Python handler packages merged in the open from the community. Knowledge Bases fuse structured tables with vectorized unstructured data from PDFs, emails, support tickets, and documents using hybrid search combining vector similarity with keyword matching for retrieval-augmented generation. Jobs execute queries on configurable schedules refreshing Knowledge Bases nightly or syncing derived tables hourly, while Triggers fire on data changes to automatically vectorize new rows into the appropriate store. The SQL-compatible query language extends standard SQL with constructs for creating models, defining agents, managing workflows, and searching unstructured data. The built-in web editor at port 47334 provides interactive SQL authoring, while the MySQL-compatible API at port 47335 and PostgreSQL API at port 47336 connect any database client directly. An MCP Server integration exposes MindsDB to AI assistants, and the Python SDK enables programmatic access from application code. Docker deployment runs with a single command exposing all APIs immediately. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
