ElixirOS includes a native MCP server that connects AI agents directly to PostgreSQL, allowing them to understand schemas, optimize queries, and reason safely with database context
Schema Understanding
ElixirOS enables agents to understand and interact with complex database schemas, allowing them to evolve their data models seamlessly over time
Agents can reason about relationships between data, helping them make better decisions and optimize queries without external intervention
Empowers agents to understand schemas for improved decision-making and optimization
Data Model Evolution
Agents can design and evolve data models directly within the database, ensuring that their systems are optimized for both performance and scalability
ElixirOS empowers agents to adapt their models dynamically based on execution results, minimizing human involvement and boosting efficiency
Enables agents to autonomously evolve models, optimizing for performance and scalability
Safe Query Optimization
With ElixirOS, agents can tune and optimize database queries directly, ensuring that performance is maximized without compromising state consistency
Master prompts guide agents to behave like expert database operators, building systems that are not only fast but production-ready and reliable
Ensures agents optimize queries for maximum performance while maintaining system integrity
AI Search Capabilities
Native AI Search: Built Into the Database
ElixirOS brings AI-native retrieval directly into PostgreSQL, offering both keyword and vector similarity search without external databases, ensuring no added latency and seamless context retrieval
