Discovering Turso Databases with Claude Desktop

Use `list_databases` to get a full registry of all libSQL Edge Databases. You can also run `list_organizations` to identify the root organizational tenants for Turso. It's useful to start by calling `list_database_groups`. This shows you the logical groups that organize where your databases live, giving you immediate context before building anything.

Provisioning Databases using Claude Desktop

`create_database` provisions a new massively distributed Serverless SQLite database. You must provide the organization slug, database name, and target group to make this work. Don't forget `delete_database`. This action permanently wipes a global libSQL database—it’s irreversible, so check your work first.

Securing Connections via MCP Server

If you need to manage access, use `create_database_token` to mint a secure connection Token tied strictly to one specific DB. It's also smart practice to run `rotate_database_tokens` when credentials change. Checking existing permissions is easy with `list_database_tokens`, which lists all active Database execution JWT Tokens for auditing.
