Turso Cloud MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides integration with Turso databases for LLMs. This server implements a two-level authentication system to handle both organization-level and database-level operations, making it easy to manage and query Turso databases directly from LLMs. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting database tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Claude Code

claude mcp add spences10-mcp-turso-cloud -- npx -y mcp-turso-cloud

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spences10-mcp-turso-cloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-turso-cloud"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

03 · What Turso Cloud can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

This server implements a security-focused separation between read-only and destructive database operations: - Use execute_read_only_query for SELECT and PRAGMA queries (safe, read-only operations) - Use execute_query for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, and other operations that modify data
