What Taavik is
Taavik is a database documentation tool that scans database schemas to generate documentation and keep it updated as schemas change, while retaining manual notes. It supports PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and Amazon Redshift. Each scan records a schema diff, and documentation shows recent changes for each database object. Teams can save and share read-only SQL queries with typed variables, version history, and execution audit records. Queries can run on schedules and export results as CSV or Excel for delivery to Slack or email. A read-only MCP connector exposes scanned schema to compatible clients including Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Taavik uses a hybrid deployment: its cloud control plane runs on dedicated virtual machines in the European Union, while database table rows stay in the customer's network except when users run queries or schedules. The on-premise agent runs on Windows, Linux, or Docker. The Free plan includes one database server, two members, 25 saved queries, one active daily schedule, and 30-day history and audit retention. Pro costs €39 a month, billed per user. Taavik is headquartered in Rimini, Italy.
