SQLite MCP Server

An MCP server enabling LLM agents to read, create, update, delete, and query SQLite databases via FastMCP.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "irpus1603-mcp_sqlite": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "sqlite_mcp.server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This SQLite MCP Server provides an MCP interface to read, create, update, delete, and query SQLite databases. Built with FastMCP, it lets you manage SQLite data programmatically from large language models and automated agents, with clear type hints and robust error handling.

How to use

You interact with the server through MCP tools to manage databases and data. Open a database, create tables, insert and modify records, run SELECT queries, inspect schemas, and list tables. Each operation is exposed as a tool you can call from your MCP client. When you perform a query, you can provide parameters to keep input safe and predictable.

How to install

Prerequisites: Python 3.8 or higher and pip.

# Step 1: Navigate to the project directory
cd sqlite-mcp

# Step 2: Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Step 3: Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration and startup

You can start the server in multiple ways depending on your preferred toolchain. Choose one of the following start commands.

# Using Python module invocation
python -m sqlite_mcp.server

# Or using Uvicorn for HTTP transport
uvicorn sqlite_mcp.server:mcp --reload
