How to connect Claude, Cursor or Codex to Ivory and let an AI agent troubleshoot PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB and more — safely, under your own permissions

It's 3 a.m. Your phone buzzes: replication lag on prod .

You know the drill. Open the laptop. SSH into the first node. patronictl list . Open psql on the leader. Query pg_stat_replication . SSH into the replica. top . df -h . tail the log. Back to the leader. Is something holding a lock? Another query. Copy a PID. Five terminals later, you finally have a picture of what's going on — and you're wide awake for the rest of the night.

Now imagine you type one sentence instead:

"Why is the replica in prod lagging?"

…and an AI agent checks the cluster, reads the lag, looks at the replica's machine, runs the right diagnostic query on the leader and tells you: a long-running transaction on the leader is holding back replay; here's its PID — do you want me to cancel it?

That's what Ivory does now.…
