SQLite MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to a SQLite database file saved on your own computer. It is handy if you keep data in a SQLite file and want to ask questions about it in plain English instead of writing database queries yourself. It only reads, so nothing in your file can be changed.

What this MCP server does

You point this helper at one SQLite database file on your computer. When you ask a question about that data, your AI uses this helper to peek at the structure of the file, such as which tables and columns exist. The helper then runs a read only query, gets the rows back, and hands them to your AI. Your AI turns those rows into a plain answer, a small list, or a summary right in the chat. If you ask for something that would change the data, the helper refuses and explains why.

What you can do with it

• See which tables and views are inside your database file
• Inspect the columns, types, keys, and indexes of a table
• Get the full structure of the database as text
• Run read only SELECT and EXPLAIN queries on your data
• Cap how many rows come back so the chat does not overflow
• Get clear error messages that help the AI fix a bad query

Try asking your AI

• “What tables are in my database?”
• “Describe the employees table.”
• “How many orders were placed last month?”
• “Show me the top 10 customers by total spend.”

What it gives back to you

You get normal chat answers built from real rows in your file: counts, lists, small tables, and short summaries. If you ask for a lot of rows, it stops at a set limit and warns you so you can narrow the question. When something goes wrong, you see a short explanation instead of a made up answer. It never changes anything in your file.
