AgentGrove v0.1.42: a DBeaver-style database tree inside your agent workspace

Last week I launched AgentGrove, an open-source local workspace that runs AI coding agents (Claude Code, opencode, Kimi) in isolated git worktrees. Today's release, v0.1.42, makes its database tooling much more useful: a DBeaver-style database tree.

What's New

The left rail's Database view now renders the full connection → databases → tables tree:

• Every database on the server, expandable and lazy-loaded - not just the one in your connection string
• One click switches the active database; the SQL editor and table browser immediately target it (the pane header shows which DB you're on)
• A single filter box matches database names and table names
• Saved connections with an inline Test button (server version on success, the real error on failure)
• SQL editor with schema autocomplete - tables and columns of the active database, prefetched in the background, on top of CodeMirror with Ctrl/Cmd+Enter to run
• Table browser with column filters (=, !=, <, >, LIKE, ILIKE) and pagination

Under the Hood

The backend is a small Rust/tokio-postgres layer: SELECTs are wrapped with to_jsonb(...) so any row shape renders as JSON, and cross-database browsing is just the connection URL's database segment swapped per request - no extra connection state to manage.

Why It Matters

Agents write a lot of SQL-shaped code, and debugging their output means looking at actual data. Having the database tree a click away from the agent chat - instead of alt-tabbing to DBeaver - keeps the review loop in one window: agent writes a migration, you inspect the affected tables right next to the diff.

Try It

git clone https://github.com/arnabk/agentgrove.git
cd agentgrove && just dev

Point it at any Postgres (the first-run seed targets your local one; AG_DATABASE_URL overrides). Demo videos, including the DB editor, are on the README.

What should the database view do next - edit rows inline? Run agent-proposed migrations with a one-click apply?
