PerSQL

PerSQL for developers

PerSQL hosts your own SQLite databases: tables you can query, files you can import and export, and backups you can restore. The web app and the phone app are for everyone; these pages are for developers who want to reach the same databases from code.

There are three ways to reach the same account:

  • HTTP — every route the web app uses, at https://api.persql.com, with a developer key as a bearer token. Reference →
  • MCP — the same databases offered to an agent as tools: list, describe, sample, query, back up. Over HTTP, or over stdio through the CLI. Set it up →
  • CLI — persql in a terminal: query, import, export, back up and restore, and run the MCP server. Commands →

With a subscription, a database can hold up to ten gigabytes, the platform’s limit, and every import, export and backup runs as a job you can follow. Importing, exporting and backing up →

Start by making a key under Account in the web app’s Settings, then follow Getting started.
