With copy-on-write branching, data masking, separated storage & compute , 100% Postgreshttps://bsky.app/profile/xata.iohttps://bsky.app/profile/xata.io/post/3mu2zipuk7s2zNeed production data to debug a slow query? Normally, you'd have to isolate & validate data & deploy the fix. With the Xata MCP server and Codex, you just talk to an agent. Branch your Postgres database in seconds regardless of the size and let AI do the debugging.

The same connection that lets one fix a query lets it drop a table. The Xata MCP server gives it a branch instead: the agent creates it, works in it against real data, deletes it when the run ends. https://xata.io/blog/introducing-the-xata-mcp-server26 Aug 2026 13:01 +0000at://did:plc:2stusqj3jmuggubunclyh6bz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtyfdakrqc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/xata.io/post/3mtjhodpem224Xata is coming to Azure. Branch-native Postgres. A copy-on-write branch of an existing database in seconds, whether the parent is 1GB or 1TB. Xata branches only incur costs for changed data plus compute while awake.

No garbage bytes returned. The PGP integrity check earns its keep when every tenant holds a different key: the wrong key fails the query instead of quietly returning nonsense.
