Does SQLite have an MCP server?
SQLite does not maintain an official MCP server. Community-built servers exist.
The widely cited mcp-server-sqlite was an MCP reference server that has been archived and is no longer maintained.

🐇 Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive SQLite database interaction capabilities
Runs on your machine over stdio, launched by your MCP client.
Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:
claude mcp add sqlite -- npx -y <package-from-readme>Swap in the exact package and flags from the repo README — most servers need an API key passed as an environment variable.
Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add the server to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sqlite": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for
every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sqlite": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "…"
}
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"sqlite": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"<package-from-readme>"
]
}
}
}Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.
A community server is unaudited third-party code that will hold your SQLite API credentials and see whatever data they unlock. Independent research puts SSRF vulnerabilities in roughly a third of public MCP servers, and 41% ship with no authentication at all.
- Read the source before running it — especially any network calls it makes.
- Check who maintains it and whether commits are recent (this one: 6mo ago).
- Issue a scoped, revocable API key rather than an account-wide token.
- Prefer read-only credentials until you trust it with writes.
Does SQLite have an official MCP server?
No. SQLite does not maintain one. Third-party developers have built community servers, the most established being jparkerweb/mcp-sqlite, but they are not endorsed or supported by SQLite.
How do I connect SQLite to Claude?
Run the server locally and register it in Claude's MCP config. In Claude Code that's a single "claude mcp add" command; in Claude Desktop you add it to claude_desktop_config.json.
Is it safe to use a community SQLite MCP server?
Treat it like any dependency that gets your API keys. Community MCP servers are unaudited third-party code: independent research has found roughly a third of public MCP servers carry SSRF vulnerabilities and 41% ship with no authentication. Read the source, check the maintainer and commit recency, and scope the credentials you hand it.
How is this verdict verified?
The SQLite project (sqlite.org) publishes no MCP server, and the MCP project's SQLite reference server now sits in modelcontextprotocol/servers-archived. The strongest maintained SQLite-only server is jparkerweb/mcp-sqlite (~130 stars, npm mcp-sqlite), which has CRUD, schema-exploration and custom-query tools. GitHub metadata is refreshed every six hours.
