Run RethinkDB in Even

Even Stacks launches RethinkDB as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find RethinkDB in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 28015, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://rethinkdb.localhost.

Drive RethinkDB with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate RethinkDB directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can create tables, seed test data, run a migration, or inspect a schema, then tail the logs to confirm it worked. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up RethinkDB and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Use the Data Explorer at http://localhost:8552 to run ReQL JavaScript queries and browse tables. Driver clients (Python, Node.js) connect on port 28015. Data persists in /data; subscribe to changefeeds on any table for real-time document push updates.
