Data Connector – Chat with Your Database and APIs

In plain words
Data Connector is an open-source tool that lets users query databases and APIs using natural language. It works with Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, and supports experimental API integration through OpenAPI and GraphQL, enabling queries across multiple systems. Built with a ReAct agent that accesses database schemas and executes queries, it includes privacy mode to keep results from the language model and approval mode for manual query verification. Designed primarily for development environments with configurable controls for other uses.
