SQLite MCP Server enables AI assistants to interact with SQLite databases through natural language. It provides zero-configuration database capabilities perfect for development, testing, and embedded applications without requiring a separate database server.
65% of applications don't need a full database server. Yet developers still wrestle with complex setups, configuration files, and connection strings for simple data storage needs.
SQLite MCP eliminates the complexity. No server to install, no ports to configure, no connection pools to manage. Just instant SQL power in a single file. Perfect for prototypes, testing, mobile apps, and any project where simplicity matters.
No server setup, no config files. Just point to a file and start querying immediately.
Entire database in a single file. Copy, backup, or share with zero hassle.
In-process database engine means no network latency. Queries execute at memory speed.
Full transaction support with rollback, ensuring data integrity even in crashes.
Install SQLite MCP
npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite /path/to/database.dbAdd to Claude Desktop
{
"mcpServers": {
"sqlite": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite",
"/path/to/database.db"]
}
}
}Start querying!
That's it! Ask Claude to create tables, insert data, or run queries.
Rapid prototyping, unit tests, and local development environments.
Embedded database for Electron, React Native, and native applications.
Quick data exploration, CSV imports, and ad-hoc analytics.
Create a database schema:
"Create tables for a todo app with users, tasks, and categories"Import data:
"Import this CSV file into a new products table"Run analytics:
"Show me sales by month with year-over-year growth"Use SQLite for local development, embedded applications, or when you need simplicity. Use PostgreSQL/MySQL for multi-user applications or when you need advanced features.
SQLite can handle databases up to 281 TB, though typical usage is under 1 GB for optimal performance.
Yes for reading, but only one process can write at a time. Perfect for read-heavy applications.
Absolutely! SQLite is the most deployed database in the world, powering millions of production applications.
