Quickstart

From an API key to a working connection string in one request.

Create an API key

Create a key on the API keys page. It is shown once, so copy it somewhere safe.

Create a database

Create a database

curl -X POST https://blaze.crafter.run/v1/databases \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BLAZE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"my-app","ttl_seconds":86400}'

Use the connection string

Response

{
  "id": "db_c28u7dyz23fc",
  "name": "my-app",
  "engine": "postgres",
  "status": "active",
  "host": "pg.blaze.crafter.run",
  "port": 5433,
  "connection_string": "postgresql://u_my_app_q647:...@pg.blaze.crafter.run:5433/db_my_app_x4k2?sslmode=require",
  "expires_at": "2026-08-20T20:28:12.171Z",
  "took_ms": 286
}

Paste connection_string into your app's config, or skip drivers entirely and run SQL over HTTP.

Prefer an agent?

The MCP server does all of this from a conversation and needs no API key at all.

Introduction

Managed databases in about 200 milliseconds, from a REST API, an MCP server or the dashboard.

MCP server

Give your agent databases. OAuth means there is no key to copy.
