Ask Claude about your D1 database. Rewind it. Migrate it. Diff it against local. All from chat.
**Free and open source (AGPL-3.0)** — every command, every fleet operation, no license key.
---
## MCP — Give Claude direct access to your D1
Add Litescope to your Claude Desktop or Claude Code config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"litescope": {
"command": "litescope",
"args": ["mcp", "--allow-writes"],
"env": {
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your-token",
"CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id"
}
}
}
}
```
Then ask Claude things like:
```
"List my D1 databases"
"Show me the schema of the users table in d1://abc-123"
"How many orders were placed in the last 7 days?"
"The deploy at 2pm broke something — rewind prod to 1:45pm"
"Diff my local dev.db against d1://prod-db-id and show me the migration SQL"
"Apply this migration to d1://prod-db-id"
```
### Read-only tools (always available)
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `litescope_d1_list` | List all D1 databases in the account (UUID, name, DSN) |
| `litescope_query` | Run a SELECT on any D1 database or local SQLite file |
| `litescope_schema` | Inspect tables, columns, indexes |
| `litescope_health` | Check for corruption, WAL bloat, fragmentation |
| `litescope_diff` | Schema and row-count diff between any two sources |
| `litescope_migrate_plan` | Generate migration SQL + blast-radius analysis |
| `litescope_migrate_diff` | Generate migration SQL only (no blast-radius) |
| `litescope_advise` | Performance analysis: missing indexes, full table scans |
| `litescope_check` | Verify a backup against a reference database |
| `litescope_fingerprint` | Cluster a fleet by schema fingerprint |
| `litescope_fleet_health` | Triage faults across a whole fleet |
| `litescope_locks` | Diagnose `database is locked` / SQLITE_BUSY (static + live) |
| `litescope_snapshot_list` | List point-in-time snapshots for a local database |
`litescope_query` enforces **token budgeting** — `max_rows` cap + `columns`
projection + truncation reporting — so a large table never blows the agent's
context window.
### Write tools (`--allow-writes`)
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `litescope_query_write` | Mutating SQL — **dry-run by default**: measures exact rows affected, auto-snapshots before applying, returns lock-doctor remediation on failure |
| `litescope_migrate_apply` | Apply a migration — dry-run by default, pre-migration snapshot, structured errors |
| `litescope_autopilot` | Self-driving optimization (ANALYZE, indexes, VACUUM) — dry-run by default |
| `litescope_snapshot` | Take a point-in-time backup of a local database |
| `litescope_restore` | Restore a local database from a snapshot |
| `litescope_rewind` | Restore a D1 database to a point in time (Time Travel) |
| `litescope_d1_pull` | Download a D1 database to a local SQLite file |
| `litescope_d1_create` | Create a new D1 database |
| `litescope_d1_delete` | Delete a D1 database (irreversible) |
### Prompts & Resources
Beyond tools, the MCP server exposes **prompts** — canned workflows like
`diagnose_locked_database`, `review_migration`, `safe_optimize`, and
`health_checkup` that chain the tools above into a safe plan — and
**resources**: a database's schema and a data dictionary, readable by the agent
without spending a tool call. Bind one with `litescope mcp ./app.db`, or address
any source via `litescope://schema/{source}` and `litescope://dictionary/{source}`.
The server implements **MCP 2025-06-18**: tool annotations (read-only /
destructive hints), structured output (`structuredContent` + `outputSchema`),
argument completion, resource-change subscriptions, and server logging.
### Remote / hosted (Streamable HTTP)
By default `litescope mcp` speaks stdio. For a hosted, remote, or multi-client
setup, serve over the Streamable HTTP transport instead:
```bash
litescope mcp --http :7577 --http-token "$LITESCOPE_MCP_TOKEN"
```
POST a JSON-RPC message to the endpoint (`/mcp` by default), or open a `GET` SSE
stream for server notifications; each client gets its own session via the
`Mcp-Session-Id` header.
Before exposing it publicly, lock it down: `--http-token` (or the
`LITESCOPE_MCP_TOKEN` env var) requires `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on every
request, and `--http-origin` allowlists browser Origins (localhost is always
allowed) for DNS-rebinding protection. Without a token the endpoint is open and
the server prints a warning.

## D1 — CLI operations
### Rewind — D1 Time Travel
```bash
# Restore to a previous point in time
litescope rewind d1://DB_ID --to "2h ago"
litescope rewind d1://DB_ID --to "yesterday"
litescope rewind d1://DB_ID --to "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
# List available restore points (30-day window + migration timestamps)
litescope rewind list d1://DB_ID
```
### Pull / Push — sync between D1 and local SQLite
```bash
# Download D1 → local (for inspection, backup, or diffing)
litescope d1 pull d1://DB_ID ./snapshot.db
# Upload local → D1 (seed a fresh database or restore from snapshot)
litescope d1 push ./seed.db d1://DB_ID
litescope d1 push ./seed.db d1://DB_ID --drop-existing
```
### Migrate — schema changes on D1
```bash
# Diff local dev schema against live D1 — generate migration SQL
litescope migrate local.db d1://DB_ID
# Apply a migration directly to D1
litescope migrate apply d1://DB_ID migration.sql
```
### Bisect — find which commit broke a D1 database
Binary-search D1 Time Travel to pinpoint the exact snapshot where a query
started returning wrong results:
```bash
litescope bisect d1://DB_ID \
--good "3d ago" \
--bad now \
--check "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM orders WHERE status = 'paid'" \
--expect "gt:0"
```
Checks `gt:0` (greater-than), `lt:N`, `eq:N`, or a literal value. Narrows
to the snapshot window where the condition first failed, then lets you
inspect or rewind.

## Local SQLite
### `doctor` — one-shot checkup
```bash
litescope doctor app.db
litescope doctor app.db --deep # exhaustive integrity_check
litescope doctor app.db --format html -o report.html
```
Combines integrity check, WAL/fragmentation health, index advisor, and schema lint in one command. Exits **1** when attention is needed — use it as a CI quality gate.
### `snapshot` / `restore` — point-in-time backups
```bash
litescope snapshot app.db # consistent VACUUM INTO copy
litescope snapshot app.db --label before-migration
litescope snapshot app.db --keep 7 # retain only the 7 newest
litescope snapshot list app.db
litescope restore app.db # restore the newest snapshot
litescope restore app.db --from <snapshot.db>
```
Snapshots live in a sibling `.litescope-snapshots/` directory. Restore is
integrity-checked and takes a pre-restore safety snapshot first — the same
"did you back up?" safety net that D1 gets from Time Travel, for local and Turso.
### `autopilot` — self-driving optimization
```bash
litescope autopilot app.db # dry-run: show the plan
litescope autopilot app.db --apply # apply the safe actions
litescope autopilot app.db --apply --aggressive
litescope autopilot --fleet litescope.fleet.yaml --apply
```
Runs `ANALYZE` + `PRAGMA optimize`, adds missing foreign-key indexes, and
(with `--aggressive`) VACUUMs and drops redundant indexes — each explained in
plain language. Dry-run by default; every real change is preceded by an
automatic snapshot.
### `locks` — diagnose "database is locked"
```bash
litescope locks app.db # static config diagnosis
litescope locks app.db --live # is a writer holding the lock now?
litescope locks app.db --watch # stream lock-state changes
```
Inspects journal mode, `busy_timeout`, locking mode, and WAL bloat, and
prescribes the exact PRAGMA/DSN fix. `--live` identifies the process holding
the lock right now.
### `diff` — schema and data diff
```bash
litescope diff old.db new.db
litescope diff old.db new.db --format json
litescope diff local.db d1://DB_ID # local vs live D1
litescope diff local.db turso://TOKEN@ORG/prod
```
### `migrate` — generate and apply migrations
```bash
litescope migrate before.db after.db --output migration.sql
litescope migrate apply prod.db migration.sql --dry-run
litescope migrate apply prod.db migration.sql --verify after.db
```
`migrate apply` safety sequence: pre-flight integrity check → `VACUUM INTO` backup → single transaction → FK verification → auto-rollback on failure.
### `lint` — schema anti-patterns
```bash
litescope lint app.db
litescope lint app.db --strict # exit 1 on info findings too
```
Rules: `no-primary-key`, `untyped-column`, `not-strict`, `autoincrement-overhead`, `non-integer-pk`.
### `schema` — inspect schema + ERD
```bash
litescope schema app.db
litescope schema app.db --erd # Mermaid ER diagram
```
### `dump` — portable SQL export
```bash
litescope dump app.db -o backup.sql
litescope dump app.db --schema-only
litescope dump app.db --table users
```
### `import` / `export` — spreadsheets and SQLite
```bash
litescope import sales.csv # → sales.db, table "sales"
litescope import budget.xlsx # first sheet → budget.db
litescope export shop.db --table orders -o orders.xlsx
litescope export shop.db --query "SELECT city, COUNT(*) FROM users GROUP BY city"
```
Formats: CSV, TSV, JSON, Excel (`.xlsx`). No external dependencies.
### `monitor` — schema drift detection
```bash
litescope monitor snapshot prod.db --output baseline.json
litescope monitor check prod.db --baseline baseline.json # exits 1 on drift
litescope monitor watch prod.db --baseline baseline.json --interval 1h --webhook https://hooks.slack.com/...
```
### `serve` — local web dashboard
```bash
litescope serve # opens http://127.0.0.1:7575
litescope serve --config litescope.fleet.yaml
```
Fleet topology map, health triage, schema fingerprinting, interactive ERD, a
paginated data browser with a visual query builder, drag-drop import, and a
**visual diff panel** — pick any two databases to review schema and row-count
changes before applying. Entirely local, no account required.
---
## Fleet
Manage hundreds of databases at once. Built for multi-tenant apps on Turso and D1.
```bash
# Discover all databases
litescope fleet discover turso --org my-org --token $TURSO_API_TOKEN
litescope fleet discover d1 --account $CF_ACCOUNT_ID --token $CF_API_TOKEN
# Triage the whole fleet
litescope fleet health
litescope fleet fingerprint # cluster by schema — find drift before it bites
# Stage a migration across the fleet
litescope fleet migrate migration.sql --dry-run
litescope fleet migrate migration.sql --canary 5
litescope fleet migrate migration.sql
```
---
## CI — GitHub Action
Run Litescope on every pull request — lint the schema, diff against the base
branch, and comment the blast radius so a risky migration can't merge unreviewed.
```yaml
- uses: croc100/Litescope@v1
with:
args: "lint app.db --strict"
comment: "true" # post the result as a sticky PR comment
```
`args` is any Litescope command; the job exits non-zero when Litescope flags
something, failing the check. See
[examples/github-actions/migration-ci.yml](examples/github-actions/migration-ci.yml)
for a full lint + diff workflow.
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `args` | — | Litescope command to run (required) |
| `version` | `latest` | Release tag to install, or `latest` |
| `comment` | `false` | Post output as a sticky PR comment |
| `working-directory` | `.` | Directory to run in |
---
