Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add db -- npx -y db-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{

  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "db": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",

Common questions

Is db-mcp (SQLite MCP Server) safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

db-mcp (SQLite MCP Server)

SQLite MCP Server with 170+ specialized tools, 11 data resources + 11 help resources, and 10 prompts, audit logging with DDL backup snapshots, HTTP/SSE Transport, OAuth 2.1 authentication, tool filtering, granular access control, and structured error handling with categorized, actionable responses. Available in WASM and better-sqlite3 variants.

🎯 What Sets Us Apart

Feature	Description
181+ Specialized Tools	The most comprehensive SQLite MCP server available — core CRUD, JSON/JSONB, FTS5 full-text search, statistical analysis, vector search, geospatial/SpatiaLite, introspection, migration, and admin
Deep Observability	Built-in Prometheus `/metrics` export, real-time `sqlite://metrics` MCP resource, historical persistence to a `SystemDb` sidecar, and a granular `sqlite_audit_search` tool for compliance and investigation
Dynamic Configuration	Full YAML/JSON config file support (`--config`) with precedence rules, plus a `sqlite_server_config` tool for live runtime config updates (e.g., log levels) without server restarts
Advanced Query & Search	O(1) cursor-based keyset pagination, faceted search aggregation, and `sqlite_hybrid_search` orchestrating FTS5 + Vector similarity with Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) in a single tool call
AI Index Recommendations	`sqlite_index_audit` automatically analyzes `EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN` responses to suggest optimized composite and partial indexes based on workload patterns
Real-time Subscriptions	Native `resources/subscribe` support pushing event-driven notifications for `sqlite://schema` DDL changes and periodic `sqlite://health` updates directly to clients
22 Resources	11 data resources (schema, tables, table_schema, indexes, views, health, meta, audit, metrics, compile_options, pragma) + 11 help resources (`sqlite://help` + per-group reference) — filtered by `--tool-filter`
10 AI-Powered Prompts	Guided workflows for schema exploration, query building, data analysis, optimization, migration, debugging, and hybrid FTS5 + vector search
Code Mode	Massive Token Savings: Execute complex, multi-step operations inside a V8 isolate sandbox with process-level isolation and hard timeouts. Instead of spending thousands of tokens on back-and-forth tool calls, Code Mode exposes all 180+ capabilities locally, reducing token overhead by 70–90% and supercharging AI agent reasoning
Token-Optimized Payloads	Every tool response is designed for minimal token footprint with `_meta.tokenEstimate` on every response so agents know their token cost. Tools include `compact`, `nodesOnly`, `maxOutliers`, `minSeverity`, and `maxInvalid` parameters where applicable — letting agents control response size without losing data access
Dual SQLite Backends	WASM (sql.js) for zero-compilation portability, Native (better-sqlite3) for high-performance concurrent execution with full features including transactions, window functions, and SpatiaLite GIS
OAuth 2.1 + Access Control	Enterprise-ready security with RFC 9728/8414 compliance, granular scopes (`full`, `read`, `write`, `admin`, `db:`, `table::*`), and Keycloak integration
Smart Tool Filtering	10 tool groups + 7 shortcuts let you stay within IDE limits while exposing exactly what you need
HTTP Streaming Transport	Streamable HTTP (`/mcp`) for modern clients + legacy SSE (`/sse`) for backward compatibility — both protocols supported simultaneously with security headers, rate limiting, health check, and stateless mode for serverless
Production-Ready Security	SQL injection protection (parameterized queries + Unicode-normalized WHERE clause validation), sandboxed code execution (V8 `codeGeneration` restrictions, frozen prototypes, 29 blocked patterns, Proxy nullified, RPC allowlist), CORS deny-all default, fail-closed scope enforcement, JWT claims sanitization, 7 security headers, body size limits, rate limiting with Retry-After, slowloris timeouts, `trustedProxyIps`, opt-in HSTS, non-root Docker, and build provenance
Encryption at Rest	Native SQLCipher support via `--encryption-key` or `DB_ENCRYPTION_KEY`. Dynamically loads `better-sqlite3-multiple-ciphers` and automatically encrypts the sidecar `SystemDb` audit logs to prevent sensitive queries from leaking
Strict TypeScript	100% type-safe codebase with strict mode, no `any` types, 1911 unit tests + 1136 E2E tests and 90% coverage

| Deterministic Error Handling | Every tool returns structured {success, error, code, category, suggestion, recoverable} responses — no raw exceptions, no silent failures. Agents get enriched error context with actionable suggestions instead of cryptic SQLite codes
