The SQLite MCP runs as a **local stdio server** with full database read/write access: - **Write Capabilities**: Unlike some database MCPs, this one can modify your data - **Local File Access**: Connects to SQLite database files on your filesystem - **Full SQL Execution**: Can run any valid SQL command on the database **Security best practices**: Use this MCP with non-production or backed-up databases, consider making a copy of important databases before connecting, be explicit in your prompts to avoid unintended modifications, and regularly back up databases that are actively modified by the AI.

To start using the SQLite MCP: 1. **Locate your database**: Know the path to your SQLite `.db` file 2. **Add the server**: Configure with `npx mcp-server-sqlite --db-path /path/to/your/database.db` 3. **Start querying**: Ask your AI questions about your data or request modifications **Example prompts**: - "Show me all tables in this database" - "What are the top selling products this month?" - "Create a new table for tracking user feedback" - "Update all orders from yesterday to mark them as processed" The AI translates your natural language into SQL automatically.
