Turso documents a built-in Model Context Protocol server in the Turso CLI (`tursodb`) at docs.turso.tech/cli/mcp-server, started with `tursodb /path/to/database.db --mcp` over stdio JSON-RPC. Tools include `open_database`, `current_database`, `list_tables`, `describe_table`, `execute_query` (SELECT-only), `insert_data`, `update_data`, `delete_data`, and `schema_change` (CREATE/ALTER/DROP) per the Mintlify MCP reference. Turso's launch blog at turso.tech/blog/introducing-the-turso-database-mcp-server shows Claude Desktop and Claude Code configuration via `claude mcp add` with the same `--mcp` flag—no separate npm package required for local embedded databases.
Use cases
- Let Cursor agents inspect and mutate local SQLite schemas during feature work
- Prototype agent SQL workflows on `:memory:` databases without cloud credentials
- Teach MCP tool boundaries with read-only SELECT vs mutating insert/update tools
- Pair embedded Turso files with offline coding agents on laptops
- Register per-project databases via `claude mcp add` for Claude Code sessions
Key features
- Cursor
- Claude Desktop
- Claude Code
- VS Code
- Codex
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this MCP cover Turso Cloud remote databases?
- Official docs focus on local `tursodb --mcp`; hosted Turso Cloud access may use community MCP servers—verify against docs.turso.tech before production.
- Which statements can agents run?
- Turso splits tools: `execute_query` accepts SELECT only; inserts/updates/deletes/schema changes use dedicated tools with statement-type guards.
- Is a separate npm package required?
- No for embedded mode—the MCP ships inside `tursodb` per Turso's MCP server documentation.

Convex MCP Server
Convex documents a Model Context Protocol server shipped in the Convex CLI at docs.convex.dev/ai/convex-mcp-server, started locally with `npx -y convex@latest mcp start` over stdio after linking a project via `npx convex dev`. Tools include `status` (deployment selector), `tables` (declared and inferred schemas), `data` (paginated documents), `runOneoffQuery` (sandboxed read-only JS), `functionSpec`, `run` (invoke deployed functions), `logs`, `insights` (72-hour OCC and resource-limit health), and `envList`/`envGet`/`envSet`/`envRemove`. Flags such as `--prod`, `--preview-name`, `--deployment-name`, and `--disable-tools` restrict scope; production writes require `--dangerously-enable-production-deployments` per changelog defaults.
Weaviate MCP Server
Weaviate documents a built-in Model Context Protocol server in the main `weaviate/weaviate` binary from v1.37.1 onward at docs.weaviate.io/weaviate/mcp/mcp-server, exposed as a Streamable HTTP endpoint at `/v1/mcp` on the same port as the REST API (default 8080). Enable with `MCP_SERVER_ENABLED=true`; optional `MCP_SERVER_WRITE_ACCESS_ENABLED=true` registers `weaviate-objects-upsert`. Tools include `weaviate-collections-get-config`, `weaviate-tenants-list`, `weaviate-query-hybrid`, and `weaviate-objects-upsert` (write-gated). Authentication uses existing API keys/Bearer tokens with RBAC permissions `read_mcp`, `create_mcp`, and `update_mcp` per Weaviate 1.37 release notes. The standalone weaviate/mcp-server-weaviate repository is deprecated in favor of this built-in server.
PlanetScale MCP Server
PlanetScale documents a hosted Model Context Protocol server at planetscale.com/docs/connect/mcp, reachable at `https://mcp.pscale.dev/mcp/planetscale` with OAuth authentication for organizations, databases, branches, schemas, and Insights data. An insights-only endpoint at `https://mcp.pscale.dev/mcp/planetscale-insights-only` omits read/write query tools. Tools documented include organization/database/branch listing, schema inspection, `planetscale_get_insights`, documentation search, and—when scopes allow—`planetscale_execute_read_query` and `planetscale_execute_write_query` with replica routing, ephemeral credentials, and destructive-query safeguards per the January 2026 changelog. PlanetScale notes the older local CLI MCP path is deprecated in favor of the hosted HTTP server for Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP clients.
