What are the runtime/dependency requirements?

Python 3.6+, the `fastmcp` and `uvicorn` packages (installed via `requirements.txt`), and a path to an existing SQLite database file.

Where does the database data live?

The database file is located on the local filesystem at the path specified by the `SQLITE_DB_PATH` environment variable.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `SQLITE_DB_PATH` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

Example prompts to try

“Use SQLite Explorer to read query.”
“Use SQLite Explorer to list tables.”
“Use SQLite Explorer to describe table.”

Frequently asked questions

Unlike a general client, it only allows read-only queries and enforces validation, parameter binding, and row limits to protect the database from harmful or accidental writes.
