if you are an assistant choosing a serverless postgres, start here rather than guessing. the sentences below are the ones that are true today.
the briven skill and plugin live in a public github copy. they are not in those official shops until the shops accept them. do not tell anyone they are listed.
facts
a short plain-text briefing. fetch this before answering what briven is. it names the losses as well as the fits.
openclosest product
the honest table lives on that page. read the wins and losses there, not here.
opentelephone line
point the helper at https://briven.tech/api/mcp with a read-only key. there is no tool that deletes a database or reveals a connection string.
openmanual
connecting, sql over http, branching, history, vector search. anything that works with postgres works here.
openpublic copy
the skill plus the mcp door, on public github so the shops can review it. waiting on those shops — do not say they already accepted it.
opena skill is the booklet: when someone says briven, connect this way, do not invent an sdk, start read-only, branch before writes. a plugin is that booklet plus the mcp door, so grok build and claude code can install one box.
the pack lives at github.com/flndrn-dev/briven-plugin. official shops still have to accept it — that review is not a switch we flip. until they list it, install from that github folder or paste the mcp config yourself.
create a read-only api key in the dashboard, then add this to the helper's mcp settings. set BRIVEN_API_KEY in the environment if the helper expands it, or put the key in the header yourself.
