Stop Guessing, Start Connecting

We know the frustration: you're setting up a new project or debugging a database connection, and you can't remember the exact syntax for TrustServerCertificate or how to format a JSON string for appsettings.json. The Kitly Connection String Builder is here to solve that.

1. Support for Major Providers

Whether you are working in the cloud or on-premise, we have you covered. Our builder supports standardized string generation for:

  • SQL Server (MSSQL): The most comprehensive suite available, covering everything from Basic Auth to Azure Managed Identities.
  • PostgreSQL & MySQL: Quickly configure SSL modes, port assignments, and pooling parameters.
  • SQLite: Perfect for local development and file-based data storage.

2. The SQL Server "Deep Dive"

Most generators only give you the Server and Database name. Our tool exposes over 40 advanced keywords found in the official documentation, organized into logical groups:

  • Security: Configure Always Encrypted, Integrated Security, and Encryption levels.
  • Reliability: Set up Connection Retry counts and intervals for cloud-native apps.
  • Performance: Fine-tune your connection pooling (Min/Max size) and MARS support.

3. Developer Shortcuts (Format & Wrap)

Getting the string right is only half the battle. We've added "Quick Wrappers" to help you move code into your project instantly:

  • AppSettings Wrapper: Formats your string into a valid JSON block for appsettings.json, including automatic backslash escaping for Windows file paths.
  • Web.Config Wrapper: Generates the exact XML <add name="..." /> tag required for legacy .NET Framework or IIS configurations.

4. Privacy & Trusted Resources

In line with our Privacy-by-Design philosophy, this tool runs entirely in your browser. Your database server addresses and passwords are processed locally and are never sent to our servers. For those who need to dive even deeper into niche scenarios, we've included a direct link to the industry-standard reference at ConnectionStrings.com.
