# SQLite and Stripe MCP: Basic Queries

This tutorial teaches you how to use **MCP servers** to connect Warp to **Stripe** and **SQLite**, showing how AI transforms the command line into a connected, conversational workspace.

**Enabling MCP in Warp**

Warp now supports configuring any MCP server directly from the terminal.

To set it up:

* Open **Settings → AI → MCP Servers** in Warp.
* Click **Add Server**, and choose from a list of available MCP configurations.
* Once added, Warp automatically connects and authorizes the agent to use those tools.

In this demo, two MCP servers were enabled:

* **SQLite Server** – for running local database queries
* **Stripe Server** – for retrieving and analyzing payment data
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Querying Stripe**

Once configured, you can issue conversational prompts to the terminal — no manual API calls required.

Example — Querying Stripe

```
How many customers do I have in Stripe?
```

Warp connects to the Stripe MCP server, confirms the action, and returns:

> “You have 3 customers.”

You can continue naturally:

```
List the payments made by the first customer.
```

The agent retrieves seven payment intents — one successful, six canceled — all live from your Stripe test account.

Note: MCP’s confirmation prompts can be disabled once you trust a given server or agent.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Querying SQLite**

The same workflow applies to databases.

Example — Querying SQLite

```
What SQL tables do I have access to?
```

Warp lists all available tables from the local SQLite database.

```
Break down female penguins by island.
```

Warp translates this into a structured SQL query and executes it, returning:

> “Bisco Island — 51 female penguins; Dream Island — ...”

Follow-up prompts work contextually:

```
Do the same with male penguins.
```

Warp runs the updated SQL query and displays results inline.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Why This Matters**

This demo highlights how Warp’s AI and MCP support combine to make your terminal:

* **Connected** — Access cloud APIs, local data, or enterprise tools instantly.
* **Conversational** — Run natural language prompts for structured data retrieval.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.warp.dev/guides/external-tools-and-integrations/sqlite-and-stripe-mcp-basic-queries-you-can-make-after-set-up.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
