Set up SQLite MCP in Continue

Query and manage SQLite databases. Create tables, run queries, and inspect data directly from your AI editor.

Locate the config file

Continue reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

~/.continue/config.yaml

Create this file if it does not already exist.

Add the following to your Continue config file:

yaml

mcpServers:
  - name: sqlite-mcp
    command: npx
    args:
      - -y
      - sqlite-mcp

No environment variables needed. SQLite MCP works out of the box without any API keys or tokens.

Restart Continue. SQLite MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 6 tools available.

This server adds approximately 3,090 tokens to your context window for tool definitions.
