~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. The sqlite npx mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 1 defined tool rather than through you.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Publish — The Publish tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: NODE_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
The server ships on npm as @smithery/cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the database access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Sqlite Npx's toolset — Publish — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by johnnyoshika; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Sqlite Npx's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
