PPrisma CLI MCP

Tested npm prisma 7.10.1 (Apache-2.0; repo prisma/orm packages/cli, 47,663 GitHub stars when checked) through `prisma mcp`, pinned: the npm latest tag, 8.0.0-rc.33, dropped the mcp command, so install and config here pin prisma@7.10.1. Stdio, 3 tools (migrate-status, migrate-dev, Prisma-Studio), no account for a local database. Real call: migrate-status on our local SQLite test database reported that the database is not managed by Prisma Migrate and no migrations exist, which is the correct status for that database (the tool relays the CLI's exit code 1 in its text; isError false). migrate-dev and Prisma-Studio change files or start a server and were not called. Not the hosted Prisma MCP (mcp.prisma.io), which needs a Prisma Console sign-in.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 1 of 1 read call passed on a local SQLite test database, no key. migrate-dev and Prisma-Studio not called. Evidence: local test run, Nov 11, 2026.

Transport (tested 2026-11-11): stdio

Methodology: how we test. A high score means it installs and responds, not that giving it access to your data carries no risk.
