# Ghost Database Management Ghost is a managed PostgreSQL service designed for agents. Your account is organized into Spaces, each with unlimited on-demand databases and forks sharing a pool of compute hours (billed in 15-minute chunks when queries are executed). Free tier: 100 hours/month, 1TB storage. When you need continuous operation, promote any database to a **dedicated instance** — a separately billed, always-on database. Additional features: - **CLI and MCP native:** create and query databases from the terminal or any MCP-compatible agent - **Instant forking:** full database copies in seconds for safe experimentation - **Shareable snapshots:** share a database snapshot via URL — anyone with the link can spin up their own copy in their own space - **MCP read-only mode:** `ghost config set read_only true` locks all MCP tools into read-only — SQL queries execute in read-only mode and destructive tools (`ghost_delete`, `ghost_password`, `ghost_rename`) are blocked Website: https://ghost.build ## Installation Multiple installation methods are provided.
