Ghost Database Management

Ghost is a managed PostgreSQL service designed for agents. Your account is organized into Spaces, each with unlimited on-demand databases and forks sharing a pool of compute hours (billed in 15-minute chunks when queries are executed). Free tier: 100 hours/month, 1TB storage.

When you need continuous operation, promote any database to a dedicated instance — a separately billed, always-on database.

Additional features:

• CLI and MCP native: create and query databases from the terminal or any MCP-compatible agent
• Instant forking: full database copies in seconds for safe experimentation
• Shareable snapshots: share a database snapshot via URL — anyone with the link can spin up their own copy in their own space
• MCP read-only mode: ghost config set read_only true locks all MCP tools into read-only — SQL queries execute in read-only mode and destructive tools (ghost_delete, ghost_password, ghost_rename) are blocked
