Comparison as of June 2026; features in other tools may have changed since. If you need dozens of drivers, use DBeaver — tabularis focuses on doing a few databases well.
winget install Debba.Tabularis
Download the installer from the Releases page and run it:
tabularis_x.x.x_x64-setup.exe
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
To add our tap, run:
brew tap TabularisDB/tabularis
Then install:
brew install --cask tabularis
When you install tabularis on macOS, you need to allow accessibility access (Privacy & Security) to the tabularis app.
If you are upgrading and you already have tabularis on the allowed list you will need to manually remove them before accessibility access can be granted to the new version.
macOS users who download directly from releases may need to run:
xattr -c /Applications/tabularis.app
after copying the app to the Applications directory.
sudo snap install tabularis
Download the .AppImage file from the Releases page, make it executable and run it:
chmod +x tabularis_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage
./tabularis_x.x.x_amd64.AppImage
yay -S tabularis-bin
Tabularis checks for updates automatically on startup and notifies you when a new version is available. You can also download the latest version directly from the Releases page.

The wiki covers the full file layout and every config.json option, including custom AI model overrides.
Optional Text-to-SQL and query explanation powered by OpenAI, Anthropic, MiniMax, OpenRouter, Ollama (local models, no API key, full privacy), and any OpenAI-compatible API (Groq, Perplexity, Azure OpenAI, LocalAI, ...). Model lists are fetched from your provider and cached locally; custom models can be configured per provider.
Tabularis includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents read your database schema and execute queries directly from their chat interface.
tabularis --mcp
One-click setup for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf: open Settings → MCP Server Integration, click Install Config next to your client, and restart it. Manual configuration is covered in the wiki.
Once connected, your AI agent can:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_connections | List all saved database connections |
list_tables | List tables in a connection (with optional schema filter) |
describe_table | Get full schema: columns, indexes, foreign keys |
run_query | Execute any SQL query and return results |
"Show me all tables in my production database and describe the
orderstable"
"Write and run a query to find the top 10 customers by total order value this month"
"Check if there are any missing indexes on the
userstable"
