For Agents

Provision, scale, fork, suspend, and resume managed PostgreSQL clusters on Crunchy Bridge, plus manage account and team membership.

Quickstart

Get started with Crunchy Bridge API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"provision a postgres cluster"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Crunchy Bridge API API.

Provision a new managed PostgreSQL cluster on Crunchy Bridge

Update cluster size, plan, or configuration via PATCH on the cluster resource

Fork an existing cluster to create a point-in-time copy for testing or analytics

Toggle high availability on a cluster with the enable-ha and disable-ha actions

Not supported: Does not handle in-database SQL execution, query monitoring, or schema migration — use for cluster lifecycle, account, and team management only.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Crunchy Bridge API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Crunchy Bridge API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Crunchy Bridge is a managed PostgreSQL service, and the API exposes 23 endpoints for account management, cluster lifecycle, cluster forks, high-availability toggles, suspend and resume, backups, Tailscale connectivity, and team administration. Authentication uses a bearer token issued from the Crunchy Bridge account settings page in the cbkey_ prefix format.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Crunchy Bridge API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Cost-Aware Cluster Lifecycle

Reduce cloud spend by suspending non-production clusters outside business hours and resuming them on demand. Crunchy Bridge exposes suspend, resume, and ping actions as first-class API verbs so a scheduler or agent can drive the lifecycle without going through the dashboard.

PUT /clusters/{cluster_id}/actions/suspend at 7pm and /clusters/{cluster_id}/actions/resume at 7am for every staging cluster tagged 'office-hours'.

Production Forks for Safe Testing

Create a forked copy of a production cluster before running a risky schema migration or load test. The fork is a point-in-time copy that lets the team validate the change against realistic data without touching the live database.

POST /clusters/{cluster_id}/forks with a target plan and name 'migration-test', then run the migration against the new fork.

On-Demand Backup Before Deploys

Trigger an on-demand backup as part of a CI/CD pipeline immediately before any production deploy, then continue only if the backup completes. Provides a fast rollback target without waiting for the next scheduled backup window.

Call PUT /clusters/{cluster_id}/actions/start-backup, poll GET /clusters/{cluster_id}/status until backup completes, then proceed with deploy.

Team and Access Management

Manage which teams have access to which clusters by creating teams, updating membership, and tearing them down via the teams endpoints. Useful when onboarding contractors or rotating engineering pods between projects.

POST /teams to create a 'data-platform' team, then PATCH /teams/{team_id} to update its members and clusters.

Agent-Driven Database Operations

Allow an AI ops agent to handle routine PostgreSQL chores — provisioning a temporary cluster, suspending it after the work, triggering backups — through Jentic so the cbkey_ token stays in the vault and out of agent context.

Search Jentic for 'provision a postgres cluster', load the create-cluster operation, and execute it with the requested plan and region.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Crunchy Bridge cbkey_ tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents never see the raw token — Jentic injects it into the Authorization header at execution time.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. 'provision a postgres cluster') and Jentic returns the matching create-cluster or cluster-action operation along with its parameter schema.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 1-2 days to wire bearer auth, cluster lifecycle handling, and polling of /status. Through Jentic: minutes per operation.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Crunchy Data API

Sister Crunchy Data product surface in the same vendor family.

Use crunchydata.com when the agent needs operations not exposed on the Bridge management surface.

Complementary

Crusoe Cloud API

Cloud compute API; useful for running workloads that talk to Crunchy Bridge clusters.

Pair when the agent provisions both the database (Crunchy Bridge) and the compute (Crusoe) for an end-to-end stack.

Alternative

Crustdata API

Different data product — included as a corpus-verified neighbour, not a true alternative for managed Postgres.

Not a real Postgres alternative; included only because the corpus does not currently expose a closer competitor.

FAQs

Specific to using Crunchy Bridge API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Crunchy Bridge API?

Crunchy Bridge does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Crunchy Bridge API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Crunchy Bridge API use?

The API uses a bearer token in the Authorization header. Tokens are issued from the Crunchy Bridge account settings page in the format cbkey_[your_api_key]. Through Jentic the token is stored encrypted in the vault and never enters the agent prompt.

Can I fork a Crunchy Bridge cluster through the API?

Yes. POST /clusters/{cluster_id}/forks creates a point-in-time copy of an existing cluster on a target plan. The new cluster appears in /clusters once the fork completes.

How do I suspend a Crunchy Bridge cluster to save cost?

Call PUT /clusters/{cluster_id}/actions/suspend. The cluster stops billing for compute while suspended. Resume with PUT /clusters/{cluster_id}/actions/resume when you need it again.

What are the rate limits for the Crunchy Bridge API?

The OpenAPI specification does not document specific numeric rate limits. Watch for HTTP 429 responses on bursty traffic and throttle requests accordingly. Contact Crunchy Bridge support for production quotas.

How do I provision a cluster through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search 'provision a postgres cluster', load the create-cluster operation, and execute it with your plan and region. Jentic injects the cbkey_ bearer token automatically.
