Overview

What is SQLite MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that enables AI models to interact with SQLite databases through standardized tools. It provides query execution, schema discovery, row counting, and sample data insertion.

How to use SQLite MCP Server?

Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, configure the .env file (set DB_PATH, MCP_PORT, READ_ONLY), then start the server with python server.py on port 8080. Add it to Claude Desktop via the mcpServers configuration.

Key features of SQLite MCP Server

Read-only mode for production safety
Collect user feedback stored in the database

Use cases of SQLite MCP Server

AI assistants querying a product database for inventory information
Generating reports from customer and order data
Prototyping applications with a sample database schema
Collecting and storing user feedback from AI interactions
Safely exploring database structures without risking data modification

Frequently asked questions

What is read-only mode and how do I enable it?

Set `READ_ONLY=true` in the `.env` file. Write operations like `insert_sample_data` and `add_feedback` are disabled in read-only mode.

What dependencies are required?

Python 3.8+ and the packages listed in `requirements.txt`. Install them with `pip install -r requirements.txt`.

Where does the database data live?

Data is stored in a single SQLite file specified by the `DB_PATH` environment variable (default: `sample.db`). The server creates a sample database with tables for products, customers, orders, and feedback if none exists.

What tools does the server provide?

The server offers six tools: `execute_query`, `list_tables`, `describe_table`, `count_rows`, `insert_sample_data`, and `add_feedback`. The last two are disabled in read-only mode.

How do I connect the server to Claude Desktop?

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file with the command `<Path to UV>`, arguments `["--directory", "<Absolute Path to Project Workspace>", "run", "server.py"]`, and the server name `sqlite`.
