The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

What, 15 years, maybe more?

If you look at Unix, maybe it's forever, you know?

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

I think the key thing is the CLI is a clear program that agents can use.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

So when we built our Tiger CLI, it's written in Go.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

It's distributed as a single binary.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

It essentially provides a unified control plane for your database on Tiger Cloud.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

And so it covers auth, obviously, creating, starting, stopping, forking databases, connecting databases.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

But what's really, I think, nice about it, like you pointed out, is that it has MCP baked in.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

So you can run, essentially, a local MCP server through the CLI that then your cloud code or whatever can talk to.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

And now your agent has access to all these basic commands.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

starting, stopping, forking databases, connecting the databases.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

It also proxies another MCP server that we host where we have indexed the Postgres and Timescale and Tiger documentation.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

And now we provide semantic search and text search on there.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

So again, it's not just a CLI, it's not just a CLI MCP server, it's a CLI MCP server that actually makes your agent smarter.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

I would say, I'm not sure if this is true, but it probably is.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

This is probably the first AI-native CLI for Postgres.

The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
Agents in the database (Interview)

It's not just like... I think other Postgres CLIs are just like API wrappers, but this is really thinking about bringing the CLI commands into the agent, but then also giving agents...
