SQLite MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SQLite database operations, built with FastMCP. This server allows LLM agents to read, create, update, and delete data in SQLite databases.
Features
- Database Management: Open/close SQLite databases
- CRUD Operations: Create tables, insert, read, update, and delete records
- Query Execution: Execute raw SQL SELECT queries
- Schema Inspection: List tables and view table schemas
- Type-Safe: Full type hints and error handling
Installation
Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- pip
Setup
- Clone or navigate to the project directory:
cd sqlite-mcp
- Create a virtual environment (recommended):
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
- Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Quick Start
Running the Server
# Using the npm script
npm start

}
8. list_tables
List all tables in the database.
Example:
{}
Returns:
{
"tables": ["users", "products", "orders"]
}
9. get_table_schema
Get the schema of a table (columns, types, constraints).
Parameters:
table(string): Table name
Example:
{
"table": "users"
}
Returns:
{
"columns": [
{
"cid": 0,
"name": "id",
"type": "INTEGER",
"notnull": 0,
"dflt_value": null,
"pk": 1
},
{
"cid": 1,
"name": "name",
"type": "TEXT",
"notnull": 1,
"dflt_value": null,
"pk": 0
}
]
}
Usage Examples
Example 1: Create a Database and Table
# Open database
call open_database with path="/tmp/myapp.db"
# Create a users table
call create_table with table="users" schema="id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT NOT NULL, email TEXT UNIQUE, age INTEGER"
# List tables
call list_tables with no parameters
Example 2: Insert and Query Data
# Insert a user
call insert with table="users" data={"name": "Alice Johnson", "email": "alice@example.com", "age": 28}
# Query users
call execute_query with query="SELECT * FROM users WHERE age >= ?" parameters=[25]
Example 3: Update Records
# Update user's age
call update with table="users" data={"age": 29} where="name = ?" where_params=["Alice Johnson"]
# Verify update
call execute_query with query="SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ?" parameters=["Alice Johnson"]
Example 4: Delete Records
# Delete a user
call delete with table="users" where="id = ?" where_params=[1]
# List remaining users
call execute_query with query="SELECT * FROM users"
Integration with LLM Agents
This MCP server is designed to be used with LLM agents. When configured properly, the agent can:
- Create databases and tables
- Insert, update, and delete records
- Query data
- Inspect database schemas
Example Agent Prompt
You have access to a SQLite database through MCP tools.
Create a simple task management database with the following requirements:
1. Create a "tasks" table with columns: id (PRIMARY KEY), title, description, status, and created_at
2. Insert 3 sample tasks
3. Query all tasks with status='pending'
4. Update the first task's status to 'completed'
Error Handling
All tools include comprehensive error handling. Common errors:
- "No database is open": Call
open_databasefirst - "Table creation failed": Check SQL syntax in schema parameter
- "Query execution failed": Verify SQL query syntax and parameters
- "Insert/Update/Delete failed": Check table name, column names, and data types

Configuration
To use this server with Claude or other MCP clients, add it to your configuration file:
For Claude Desktop
Edit ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sqlite-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "sqlite_mcp.server"],
"cwd": "/path/to/sqlite-mcp"
}
}
}
Performance Notes
- SQLite is suitable for single-user and small-team applications
- For concurrent access, consider using connection pooling
- Large queries may benefit from appropriate indexing
- Use transactions for data consistency (can be added if needed)
Security Considerations
⚠️ Important: This server executes SQL queries directly. When using with untrusted input:
- Always use parameterized queries (the
parametersfields in tools) - Validate input data before sending to the server
- Restrict database file permissions
- Don't expose sensitive data in database files
Troubleshooting
Server Won't Start
- Check Python version (3.8+)
- Verify all dependencies installed:
pip install -r requirements.txt - Check for port conflicts if using HTTP transport
Database File Not Found
- Ensure the directory path exists
- Check file permissions
- Use absolute paths for database files
Query Errors
- Verify table names and column names match exactly
- Use proper SQL syntax
- Check data types match column definitions
Development
