This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

Connects a local SQLite database file to an agent over MCP. It is a Node.js port of the official Python reference SQLite server. The database path is passed as a launch argument.

Who it is for. Developers and analysts who want SQLite in Claude Desktop or LibreChat where Python and uvx are not available.

Example request

List the tables in the database and show the last 10 rows from the orders table

Limitations

Works with a single SQLite file set in the config. The README does not list tools and refers to the official reference server. With nvm you have to set absolute paths to npx, PATH and NODE_PATH in the config.

How to disable. Remove the sqlite block from mcpServers in claude_desktop_config.json and restart the client.

MCP

Transport

stdio

Authentication

not required

Security check

• Runs a local process via npx from an npm package
• The agent gets access to the database file contents

README in short

The project is a Node.js implementation of the MCP SQLite server based on the official Python reference. The README gives ready Claude Desktop configs for macOS and Windows, including nvm setups. Installation via Smithery is also covered. Building from source and testing with MCP Inspector are described separately.
