SurrealDB

SurrealDB is a multi-model database that unifies documents, graphs, vectors, time-series, full-text search, and relational data within a single ACID transaction framework. It exposes a native HTTP REST API and supports SurrealQL, a powerful query language designed for multi-model data access. The platform includes built-in authentication with JWT tokens, row-level security, and live query subscriptions for real-time applications. SurrealDB Cloud provides a managed hosting option with usage-based pricing, while the open-source engine can be self-hosted. The database also ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enabling AI agents and tools such as Claude, Cursor, and VS Code to query and manage data directly.

SurrealDB publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Database, Multi-Model, Graph Database, Document Database, and Vector Database.

The SurrealDB catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.
