Common questions

Is Mini App MCP 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 (0.20.0) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

mini-app-mcp

Agent-First CRUD store MCP server — schema.yaml driven, SQLite backend, multi-table in a single daemon.

What it does

mini-app-mcp is a lightweight MCP server that manages one or more SQLite tables in a single running process. The shape of each table is defined entirely by a schema.yaml file; no migrations, no REST API, no GUI. CRUD is exposed exclusively as MCP tools, making it a natural backend for agents that need structured persistent storage.

Design principles

  • `schema.yaml` as sole schema authority — field names, types, and required constraints are read from YAML at startup. No field is hard-coded in application code.
  • Multi-table in one daemon — a single server process discovers and mounts all tables found under the configured User and Project scope directories. A dedicated legacy mode (MINI_APP_SCHEMA + MINI_APP_DB) preserves the original single-table behaviour.
  • MCP-only entry point — there is no HTTP/REST/CLI CRUD interface. All reads and writes go through MCP tools.
  • Structured JSON errors — every error response carries a machine-readable code field so agents can handle failures programmatically.

schema.yaml format

table: issues

title: "Issue tracker" description: "Tracks bugs and feature requests for a project." fields:

  • name: title type: string required: true description: "Short one-line summary of the issue."
  • name: state type: string required: false
  • name: tags type: array required: false

The optional title and description keys at the table level provide human- and AI-readable metadata about the table. Each field entry may also carry an optional description string. All three keys follow the OpenAPI 3.1 / JSON Schema 2020-12 naming convention and are included in info tool output and the schema://json resource.

Supported types: string, number, boolean, array, object.

Configuration

Multi-table mode (recommended)
Environment variableDefaultDescription
MINI_APP_USER_DIR~/.mini-app/Base directory for User-scope tables. Each subdirectory is treated as a table name and must contain schema.yaml and .db.
MINI_APP_PROJECT_DIR./.mini-app/Project-scope override directory. A table present here fully replaces the User-scope definition of the same name.
MINI_APP_BACKUP_RETENTION10Maximum number of backup copies (YAML + DB snapshot pairs) to retain per table under _backup/. Older copies beyond this limit are deleted immediately after each backup write.
MINI_APP_SNAPSHOT_RETENTION10Maximum number of snapshot generations to retain per table under _snapshots/. Strictly separate from MINI_APP_BACKUP_RETENTION; purges only _snapshots/ files and never touches _backup/.

Tables are discovered at startup by scanning both directories. Project-scope definitions take precedence over User-scope definitions for the same table name.

Legacy single-table mode
Environment variableDefaultDescription
MINI_APP_SCHEMA./schema.yamlPath to the schema definition file
MINI_APP_DB*(none — must be set)*Path to the SQLite database file

When MINI_APP_SCHEMA and MINI_APP_DB are set the server starts in legacy mode, mounting exactly one table. The table argument on all tools may be omitted in this mode.

All variables can also be placed in a .mini-app-mcp.env file in the working directory.

MCP tools

All tools accept an optional table argument that selects the target table. In multi-table mode the argument is required; omitting it returns error code TABLE_REQUIRED. Supplying an unknown table name returns error code TABLE_NOT_FOUND. In legacy single-table mode the argument may be omitted.

ToolDescription
infoReturns the parsed schema (table name, field definitions) as JSON
createInserts a new row; validates the data object against the schema
getRetrieves a single row by id. If id is shorter than 36 characters it is treated as a UUID prefix: zero matches return NOT_FOUND; two or more matches return AMBIGUOUS_ID with a candidate list. A full 36-character UUID always uses the exact-match path. Accepts an optional fields selector to project the returned data object to a named subset of schema fields.
listReturns rows with optional limit / offset pagination. Accepts an optional fields selector to project the returned data objects to a named subset of schema fields.
updateUpdates an existing row by id. If id is shorter than 36 characters it is treated as a UUID prefix (see get for resolution rules). Default mode is merge (RFC 7396): absent fields are preserved from the stored row, null values delete optional fields or raise a Validation error for required ones. Pass "mode": "replace" for full replacement (pre-0.9 behaviour).
deleteRemoves a row by id. If id is shorter than 36 characters it is treated as a UUID prefix (see get for resolution rules).
reloadRe-scan MINI_APP_USER_DIR / MINI_APP_PROJECT_DIR and atomically replace the table registry. Legacy MINI_APP_SCHEMA + MINI_APP_DB are re-applied if set. Returns { mounted, added, removed }. Limitations: no file watcher (explicit invocation only); whole-registry replace (no per-table partial reload); no schema migration for existing rows; concurrent reload calls are last-write-wins.
schema_createCreate a new schema.yaml under the specified scope (project or user) and register the table live. Pass dry_run: true to preview without writing. Fails with SCHEMA_EXISTS if the table already exists.
schema_updateReplace an existing table's schema.yaml with a new definition (full overwrite). Backs up the previous YAML and a SQLite snapshot to _backup/ before writing. Pass dry_run: true to preview field changes without touching disk.
schema_deleteRemove a table's schema.yaml (moved to _backup/) and unregister it from the live registry. Does not alter or drop the SQLite table — DDL changes remain the operator's responsibility. Pass dry_run: true to preview.
schema_batchExecute an array of ops[] atomically under a single SQLite SAVEPOINT. Any op failure rolls back all preceding ops, leaving YAML and DB untouched. All ops must target the same table. Returns per-op results or a BATCH_ABORTED error with the index of the failing op.
data_snapshotCreate a point-in-time SQLite snapshot of one or all mounted tables using the SQLite hot backup API. Snapshots are written to /_snapshots/ . .db. Pass table and/or scope to limit the target set; omit both to snapshot all mounted tables. Pass dry_run: true to preview the operation (target tables, row counts, would-purge count) without creating any files. Retention is controlled by MINI_APP_SNAPSHOT_RETENTION (default 10), independent of MINI_APP_BACKUP_RETENTION.
alias_createRegister a named query alias for a table. Accepts name, either filter (a ListFilter expression) or filter_template (a MiniJinja template string — mutually exclusive with filter), optional params_schema (array of parameter name strings for a templated alias), optional default_limit, and optional description. Alias names are unique per table; duplicate names return ALIAS_ALREADY_EXISTS. Aliases are scoped per table and stored in the table's own SQLite database.
alias_listReturn all aliases registered for a table as a JSON array of { name, filter, default_limit, description, params_schema } objects.
alias_runExecute a stored alias by name. Accepts optional runtime limit and offset that override the stored default_limit at call time. For parameterized aliases (those created with filter_template), also accepts a params object whose key-value pairs are injected into the template. Accepts an optional fields selector to project the returned data objects to a named subset of schema fields. If params_schema is set and params is omitted, returns ALIAS_PARAMS_REQUIRED. Template render failures return ALIAS_TEMPLATE_ERROR. Returns the same shape as the list tool. Returns ALIAS_NOT_FOUND for an unknown name.
alias_deleteDelete a named alias for a table. Returns ALIAS_NOT_FOUND if the alias does not exist.

MCP resources

In addition to the tools above, the server exposes 7 read-only Resources addressable by URI. Resources are intended for agents that want to fetch the schema definition or reference documentation without invoking a mutating tool.

URIMIMEContent
schema://yamlapplication/yamlRaw schema.yaml file content (read from disk on each request)
schema://jsonapplication/jsonParsed SchemaConfig as JSON (same shape the info tool returns)
schema://json-schemaapplication/schema+jsonJSON Schema (draft-07) derived from the schema's fields. Use this to validate data arguments before calling create / update
docs://quickstarttext/markdownAgent quickstart (mode detection + first-call recipe + pointers to the other docs:// resources), compiled into the binary. Distinct from this human-facing README — read this resource from inside the MCP session
docs://toolstext/markdownCheat sheet of all 17 MCP tools and their input shapes
docs://errorstext/markdownReference table of error codes returned by the server
docs://filterstext/markdownGuide for constructing filter objects (Eq/In/Like/Or/And) used by list and alias_create

The info tool and schema://json resource return equivalent content but serve different purposes: info is a callable tool (good for one-off introspection in a conversation), while resources are URI-addressable and can be subscribed to or cached by the client.

Usage

Start the server via --mcp (stdio transport) or --mcp-http (streamable HTTP transport). These are the only entry points; there is no REST/CLI-CRUD surface.

Multi-table mode

Place each table's schema.yaml and .db under ~/.mini-app/ / (User scope) or ./.mini-app/ / (Project scope), then start without any extra environment variables:

mini-app-mcp --mcp

Register it once in .mcp.json to serve all mounted tables:

{

"mcpServers": { "mini-app": { "command": "mini-app-mcp", "args": ["--mcp"] } } }

Multi-device mode (streamable HTTP)

Run one central daemon that owns the SQLite files, and connect from any number of devices as remote MCP clients. Because every device talks to the same single process, the single-writer storage model is preserved — no cross-device sync or conflict handling exists or is needed.

# Central host — loopback (same-machine clients, e.g. behind an SSH tunnel)

mini-app-mcp --mcp-http # default bind 127.0.0.1:8484

Central host — LAN exposure requires a token (generate one once):

openssl rand -hex 32

MINI_APP_HTTP_TOKEN= mini-app-mcp --mcp-http --bind 0.0.0.0:8484

Client registration in .mcp.json (any device on the network):

{

"mcpServers": { "mini-app": { "type": "http", "url": "http://central-host:8484/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Security model:

  • Loopback bind (default): MINI_APP_HTTP_TOKEN is optional. The transport's built-in Host header validation (loopback-only) guards against DNS rebinding.
  • Non-loopback bind: MINI_APP_HTTP_TOKEN must be set — startup is refused otherwise. Every request must then carry Authorization: Bearer .
  • Transport encryption (TLS) and any richer authorization are intentionally out of scope; terminate TLS at a rev
