SQLite MCP Server

What is SQLite MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation using TypeScript for interacting with an SQLite database. It provides an interactive interface for executing SQL queries, managing database schemas, and synthesizing business insights within an extensible protocol framework. It is aimed at developers and AI assistants that need structured database access.

How to use SQLite MCP Server?

Build the Docker image from the repository, then configure your AI client’s mcpServers JSON to run the container with command docker, arguments including mount volume and --db-path flag. After restarting the client, the MCP tools become available. On Windows you may need to manually kill the process for changes to take effect.
