Set up Turso MCP in VS Code

Query and manage Turso-hosted LibSQL databases, run SQL statements, inspect schemas, and handle database operations from your AI editor.

1

Locate the config file

VS Code reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

.vscode/settings.json → mcp section

Create this file if it does not already exist. For VS Code, this is inside your workspace .vscode/settings.json file under the mcp section.

2

Add the configuration

Add the following to your VS Code config file:

json
{
  "servers": {
    "turso-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-turso"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TURSO_DATABASE_URL": "YOUR_TURSO_DATABASE_URL",
        "TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
3

Set up environment variables

Turso MCP requires the following environment variables:

TURSO_DATABASE_URLRequired

Turso database URL

TURSO_AUTH_TOKENRequired

Turso authentication token

4

Verify it works

Restart VS Code. Turso MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 9 tools available.

This server adds approximately 4,635 tokens to your context window for tool definitions.
