mcp-turso-cloud

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.

Features

🏢 Organization-Level Operations

• List Databases: View all databases in your Turso organization
• Create Database: Create new databases with customizable options
• Delete Database: Remove databases from your organization
• Generate Database Token: Create authentication tokens for specific databases

💾 Database-Level Operations

• List Tables: View all tables in a specific database
• Execute Query: Run SQL queries against your databases
• Describe Table: Get schema information for database tables
• Vector Search: Perform vector similarity search using SQLite vector extensions

Two-Level Authentication System

The server implements a sophisticated authentication system:

1. Organization-Level Authentication

   • Uses a Turso Platform API token
   • Manages databases and organization-level operations
   • Obtained through the Turso dashboard

2. Database-Level Authentication

   • Uses database-specific tokens
   • Generated automatically using the organization token
   • Cached for performance and rotated as needed

Configuration

This server requires configuration through your MCP client. Here are examples for different environments:
