The Postgres API enables users to connect to MindsDB using the PostgreSQL protocol.

By default, MindsDB starts the http and mysql APIs. You can define which APIs to start using the api flag as below.

python -m mindsdb --api http,mysql,postgres,mongodb

If you want to start MindsDB without the graphical user interface (GUI), use the --no_studio flag as below.

python -m mindsdb --no_studio

  • port: 55432
  • database: mindsdb
  • user: mindsdb

Here is the command that allows you to connect to MindsDB.

psql -h 127.0.0.1 -p 47335 -d mindsdb -U mindsdb
