About csvql

csvql is an MCP server published by the GitHub account melihbirim. Query CSV files with SQL via MCP. Fast, local, zero-config, read-only, sandboxable with --root.

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package csvql-macos-aarch64.mcpb, with no version pinned.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 2.9.0 was published on 7 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 8 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 5 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.

What it asks for

This server declares no environment variables, so it asks for no keys or settings.
