Sql Formatter MCP tool

MCP findutils:sql_formatter

Format (beautify) or minify a SQL query and return the result with lint warnings. Format mode puts each clause (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, JOIN, ...) on its own line, uppercases keywords, and indents by the chosen width; dialect adds MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite keywords. Warnings flag unmatched parentheses, unclosed strings, empty clauses, and a missing final semicolon.
