SQLite FAQs

Question 1

What is mcp-server-sqlite?

Accepted Answer

`mcp-server-sqlite` is a production-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SQLite, built in Rust. It provides robust server operation with advanced, fine-grained access control using SQLite's native authorizer API.

Question 2

How does mcp-server-sqlite provide fine-grained access control?

Accepted Answer

It leverages SQLite's `sqlite3_set_authorizer` callback to enforce access control at the query-preparation level, before SQL execution. This enables column-level granularity, 30+ selector types for various operations (read, write, DDL), five permission presets, and specificity-based override rules.

Question 3

What are the key features for robust server operation?

Accepted Answer

Beyond access control, `mcp-server-sqlite` includes optional query timeouts to prevent runaway queries, connection pooling for efficient resource reuse, and init scripts to seed schemas/data on first run. It's delivered as a single binary with no runtime dependencies.

Question 4

Does mcp-server-sqlite support full-text search?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it offers first-class FTS5 support. It provides dedicated tools for creating FTS5 virtual tables over existing columns and performing ranked searches with BM25 relevance and highlighted snippets.

Question 5

What specialized tools are included with this MCP server?

Accepted Answer

The server exposes 13 specialized tools over MCP, including `execute` for arbitrary SQL, schema introspection (`list_tables`, `describe_table`), query planning (`explain_query`), database backups (`backup`), full-text search (`create_fts_index`, `search_fts`), and maintenance (`vacuum`, `database_info`).
