MCP Turso Cloud

MCP Turso Cloud is a TypeScript Model Context Protocol server that exposes Turso organization and database operations to LLM clients. It supports database administration, table and schema inspection, read-only and write SQL tools, and vector similarity search using SQLite vector extensions.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when an MCP client needs Turso organization administration or database tools available to an LLM workflow.

Who it is for

  • Developers connecting MCP-compatible LLM clients to Turso databases.
  • Teams building LLM-assisted database administration or querying workflows.

Documented uses

  • List, create or delete databases in a Turso organization.
  • Generate a database-specific authentication token.
  • List database tables, inspect table schemas and run SQL queries.
  • Perform vector similarity search using SQLite vector extensions.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The server is configured through an MCP client and requires a Turso Platform API token and organization name. A default database is optional. The repository lists an MIT license.

  • Organization-level operations use a Turso Platform API token; database operations use database-specific tokens generated through the organization token.
  • Read-only and potentially destructive SQL use separate tools; the README advises reviewing SQL before approving write operations.
  • The README documents configuration examples for Cline, Claude Desktop and Claude Desktop with WSL.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Configure mcp-turso-cloud in Cline or Claude Desktop

Add the MCP server to a Cline or Claude Desktop configuration using Turso organization credentials.

Before you start

  • An MCP client with settings that accept the documented mcpServers configuration.
  • A Turso Platform API token and Turso organization name.
  • The server configuration uses npx -y mcp-turso-cloud. TURSO_DEFAULT_DATABASE is optional.

Steps

  1. Add an mcp-turso-cloud entry to the client's mcpServers settings.

  2. Set command to npx and args to ["-y", "mcp-turso-cloud"].

  3. Set TURSO_API_TOKEN and TURSO_ORGANIZATION in the entry's env; optionally set TURSO_DEFAULT_DATABASE.

  4. Use the configured server through the MCP client for the documented database tools.

Expected outcome

The MCP client is configured to launch the server with organization credentials; available tools include organization database management and database-level operations.

Guide limitations

  • This recipe documents client configuration, not confirmation that the server starts or connects successfully.
  • Organization operations use the Turso Platform API token; database-level operations use database-specific tokens generated using the organization token.
  • Review SQL carefully before approving it. The server separates read-only operations from potentially destructive queries.
Source-based practical guide

Run project checks and tests from a local checkout

Install project dependencies and run the documented checks and offline tests.

Before you start

  • Node.js 24.15.0 or newer.
  • pnpm 12.5.1, pinned in package.json.
  • A local project checkout.

Steps

  1. Run pnpm install.

  2. Run pnpm check to check formatting, lint, and types.

  3. Run pnpm test to build and run the documented test suites.

Expected outcome

The project check and test commands are run; the tests cover offline SQL, permission, token, MCP handler, and CLI behavior.

Guide limitations

  • The tests are described as offline and do not verify access to a live Turso database.
  • SQL execution tests use an isolated in-memory libSQL database.
