For Agents

Provision and manage hosted databases, run SQL queries, retrieve metrics, and orchestrate backup and restore operations on Databasus.

Quickstart

Get started with Databasus 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 databasus database"

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

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Databasus API API.

Provision new managed database instances and update their settings

List, retrieve, and delete existing databases owned by the account

Pull database performance metrics for monitoring and alerting

Create on-demand backups and restore a database from a previous backup

Execute SQL queries against a database through a structured endpoint

View OpenAPI Document

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

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Databasus API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Databasus is a managed cloud database service exposing provisioning, monitoring, backup management, and SQL query execution through a single REST API. The 11-endpoint surface covers database lifecycle (list, create, get, update, delete), metrics, backups (list, create, restore), SQL execution, and account info. Authentication uses bearer tokens against the https://api.databasus.com/v1 base URL.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Databasus API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Programmatic Database Provisioning

Provision and tear down Databasus databases as part of an environment lifecycle, for example creating a per-tenant database when a customer signs up. POST /databases creates the instance, PATCH /databases/{databaseId} updates settings, and DELETE /databases/{databaseId} removes it. Suitable for SaaS platforms and internal tooling that need on-demand database creation.

Call POST /databases with engine and region parameters to provision a new database, then PATCH /databases/{databaseId} to apply the connection-pool size.

Backup and Disaster Recovery Automation

Automate scheduled backups and recovery drills against Databasus instances. POST /databases/{databaseId}/backups creates a backup, GET lists existing backups, and POST /databases/{databaseId}/backups/{backupId}/restore restores from a chosen backup. Suitable for ops teams running regular DR exercises and compliance-driven backup schedules.

Create a backup of database 'prod-orders' via POST /databases/{databaseId}/backups, wait for completion, and run a restore against a staging database to verify backup integrity.

Database Monitoring Dashboard

Power an internal monitoring dashboard with Databasus metrics rather than running a separate metrics agent. GET /databases/{databaseId}/metrics returns performance data for a database that can be plotted alongside application-level metrics. Useful for platform teams consolidating database health into existing observability stacks.

Pull metrics for each production database via GET /databases/{databaseId}/metrics every minute and forward them to the team's metrics pipeline.

AI Agents Running Read-Only SQL via Jentic

AI agents that answer business questions over operational data can execute scoped SQL against Databasus through Jentic without holding the bearer token. The agent searches Jentic for the relevant intent, loads the schema, and runs the query with credentials held in Jentic's vault. POST /databases/{databaseId}/query is the execution surface used here. Pair with read-only database users to keep agent access bounded.

Use Jentic to search 'run a sql query on databasus', load POST /databases/{databaseId}/query, and execute a SELECT against the orders database to answer a user's revenue question.

Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Databasus bearer tokens sit encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access for each call and the raw Authorization value never enters the agent's context — important when SQL execution is exposed to an agent.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g. 'provision a databasus database') and Jentic returns the matching POST /databases operation with its input schema, so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing api.databasus.com docs.

Time to first call

Direct Databasus integration: 1-2 days for auth, lifecycle endpoints, and backup orchestration. Through Jentic: under 1 hour to call all 11 operations.

FAQs

Specific to using Databasus API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Databasus API?

Databasus does not publish an OpenAPI specification through its developer site. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Databasus 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 Databasus API use?

The Databasus API uses bearer token authentication via the BearerAuth scheme — the token is sent in the Authorization header. Through Jentic the bearer token sits in the vault and never enters the agent's context.

Can I run a SQL query through the Databasus API?

Yes. POST /databases/{databaseId}/query accepts a SQL statement and returns the result rows. Pair with a read-only database user when exposing this endpoint to agents.

What are the rate limits for the Databasus API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare explicit numeric limits. Apply exponential backoff on 429 responses and avoid running tight provisioning or backup loops against POST /databases or POST /databases/{databaseId}/backups.

How do I provision a database through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic for 'provision a databasus database', load the POST /databases schema, and execute it with the engine, region, and plan parameters. Jentic injects the bearer token at call time.

Does the Databasus API support backup and restore?

Yes. POST /databases/{databaseId}/backups creates a backup, GET /databases/{databaseId}/backups lists existing backups, and POST /databases/{databaseId}/backups/{backupId}/restore restores the database from a chosen backup.
