MIDPLANE_TOKENإلزامي سري A token from `midplane token`, verified at start and on every call. It stays in this entry, so give it a --ttl (seconds) as long as the entry should work: the default is an hour.

A gateway between AI agents and your Postgres databases.
Every statement is checked against your policy and recorded before it runs.
Quickstart · Documentation · Midplane Cloud
Agents get useful once they can read your real tables, but a database role that reads every column and writes every row is not a control you can show a security reviewer. Midplane is that control. Agents connect to the gateway over MCP; it parses each statement with Postgres' own parser, decides it against your policy, records it, and only then runs it, with masks written into the query itself.
What it enforces
- Table access, denied by default, per table.
- Masking at the source: hashes, partial values, generalized dates, NULLs, applied before any filter, join or aggregate sees the raw value.
- Guardrails: one statement at a time, writes need a
WHERE, no writes hidden in aWITH, reads in read-only transactions with timeouts. - Approvals: writes held for a person, bound to the exact statement and checked against the row count the approver saw.
- Containment: once an agent reads a column labeled untrusted (support tickets, emails), its writes are held and secret tables are closed to it.
- An audit log on the gateway's own disk, hash-chained, exported and verified with one command.
The gateway runs in your network, next to your databases, and opens every connection itself.
Get started
- A sample database, no account: the quickstart below.
- Your own database, with Midplane Cloud, for policy in a dashboard, approvals and a query log; the cloud never holds a database credential or sees a row. Follow get started. Midplane Cloud is invite-only for now: get access.
- Your own database, no account: local mode.
The gateway is the midplane npm package, run with npx, or the image
ghcr.io/midplaneai/midplane. Both are built from this repository's tags
with provenance, and the image is signed: verifying a release.
Quickstart
You need Node 24.16 or newer, Docker, and an MCP client such as Claude Code.
git clone https://github.com/midplaneai/midplane.git
cd midplane/examples/quickstart
docker compose up -d --wait
Then follow its steps: a sample shop database and the gateway in local mode, with nothing leaving your machine. Ask your agent:
| Ask | What happens |
|---|---|
| "List our customers with their emails and phone numbers." | Emails hashed, phones cut to the last four digits, signup dates to the month |
| "Delete all support tickets." | Denied: a write needs a WHERE |
| "Mark ticket 2 as closed." | Held for approval; local mode has nobody to ask, so it's refused |
| "Summarize ticket 1." | Its body carries a prompt injection; reading it taints the agent |
| "Now show me the API keys." | Denied: a tainted agent can't read secret tables |
In Midplane Cloud, Try with sample data runs the same sample linked, where the held write waits for your approval instead.

الأسئلة الشائعة
ما هو Midplane؟
A gateway between AI agents and Postgres: table access, masking at the source, approvals and audit.
كيف أثبّت Midplane؟
يعمل على جهازك. في Claude Code: claude mcp add midplane -e 'MIDPLANE_TOKEN=<your midplane_token>' -- npx -y midplane@0.23.0 local --config --stdio. وفي العملاء الآخرين، الصق إعداد JSON من هذه الصفحة في إعدادات MCP الخاصة بهم.
هل يحتاج Midplane إلى مفتاح API؟
نعم. يتطلب MIDPLANE_TOKEN، وتضبطها في إعداداته.
هل Midplane مفتوح المصدر؟
نعم. شيفرته متاحة على GitHub بترخيص MIT.
من يصون Midplane؟
ينشره midplaneai. يدرجه AI.tn لكنه لا يصونه ولا يوصي به.
