    "headline": "One SQL dialect over 40+ services and every file on disk, exposed to LLMs over MCP — unusually well-executed, with a maintainer-capacity signal published right at the top of the page.",
    "body": "Anyquery turns GitHub, Notion, Spotify, Gmail, Airtable, Google Sheets, CSVs, Parquet and forty more sources into SQLite tables you can JOIN freely, then hands the same engine to an LLM over MCP so Claude can answer questions about them. The design choices are the kind that come from having actually used the thing: it speaks the MySQL wire protocol so Metabase, Tableau and Looker connect with no adapter; it supports write-back (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE against Notion, Airtable and Sheets); it runs local-first so API tokens never leave the machine; and it ships a query hub so non-SQL users can reuse community queries. It is a single binary, AGPL-3.0, with ~1.7k GitHub stars — real independent adoption signal, which almost nothing else in this wave has. The caution is not technical. The site's very first element is a banner reading \"Available for an internship — I'm seeking a 6-month software engineering internship starting in January 2027\", with a personal contact address. That is a solo maintainer being straightforward about their situation, and we take it at face value rather than reading anything into it — but for anyone weighing a dependency, single-maintainer continuity is the material question here, and the project itself has put the information in front of you. AGPL-3.0 is also a real constraint for commercial embedding. Reviewed from the public surface; we did not install it.",

  "tier_rationale": "STEADY (78) on execution and evidence: ~1.7k stars is genuine third-party adoption, the MySQL-wire-protocol choice makes it work with existing BI tooling instead of demanding new tooling, write-back and local-first are substantive, and the MCP path is first-class rather than bolted on. Held below VITAL because it is a single-maintainer project (stated on the page, alongside a January 2027 internship search), AGPL-3.0 limits commercial embedding, and we reviewed the public surface without installing it.",
