Postgres MCP pattern — not bundled
The Lab assessment toolkit-labs/assessments/postgres-mcp.md scored crystaldba/postgres-mcp
(3.2k★, MIT) and the official modelcontextprotocol/servers/src/postgres split as the canonical
Postgres MCP. Verdict: ADOPT-PATTERN.
The MCP server is docker-shaped and below the toolkit’s DoD bar (#1–3) as a vendor. This skill
ports the pattern — describe / sample / validate — as a single-file, read-only,
BigQuery-native primitive. No Postgres driver is bundled; the assessment lives in the Lab repo.
To talk to Postgres directly, use the upstream MCP (npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres
or the crystaldba/postgres-mcp image) in an MCP-capable host; this skill stays BigQuery-only and
company-neutral.
