MCP server for SQLite files. Supports Datasette-compatible metadata!
MCP MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on MCP directly instead of describing what you should do. MCP server for SQLite files. Supports Datasette-compatible metadata!.
Provide useful data to AI agents without giving them access to external systems. Compatible with Datasette for human users!
The server ships on npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, 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.
Once MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
