What is Forge Database Manager?
Current Momentum
v1.1
Forge 1.1 is a major update — a new AI Bridge, SSH tunnels, Elasticsearch, autocomplete, and more. AI BRIDGE (MCP SERVER) Talk to your databases from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Cline, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant. A local server runs on your Mac that exposes your databases as tools to your AI agent. List tables, inspect schemas, run queries — in plain English. Read-only by default with explicit confirmation for writes. Credentials never leave your Mac. SSH TUNNEL Reach databases behind a bastion host without leaving the app. Password or private-key authentication (ed25519, RSA, with passphrase). Pure Swift, no openssh dependency. ELASTICSEARCH SUPPORT Browse Elasticsearch indexes like SQL tables. Minimal SELECT support plus raw JSON DSL for advanced queries. SQL AUTOCOMPLETE Smart suggestions in the Query Editor: keywords, table names, column names — with context awareness for FROM, JOIN, INTO, UPDATE. Native NSTextView completion on macOS, suggestion bar on iPhone and iPad. IMPORT / EXPORT CONNECTIONS Move your saved connections between devices via a single encrypted file. ChaCha20-Poly1305 + PBKDF2-SHA256 for end-to-end protection. ⌘⇧E to export, ⌘⇧I to import. MORE NATIVE TOUCHES Keyboard shortcuts for every common action. macOS Settings via ⌘,. Inline error toasts you can copy with one click. FIXES • ClickHouse: INSERT, CREATE, DROP and other write statements now execute correctly in the Query Editor. • macOS: closing the Settings window no longer triggers the Quit confirmation alert. • Connection Editor: error messages are now selectable and copyable.
