Turso Cloud

Turso Cloud Skills

This skill combines documentation for working with Turso Cloud, the fully managed SQLite-compatible database platform. Pick the relevant sub-skill below.

turso-cloud-js

Work with the @tursodatabase/serverless TypeScript/JavaScript SDK for remote Turso Cloud databases — queries, positional/named parameters, batches, and interactive transactions — plus the local-first sync family (@tursodatabase/sync, -wasm, -react-native). Use when connecting to Turso Cloud from Node.js, serverless/edge functions, browsers, or React Native.

turso-cloud-py

Work with Turso Cloud from Python: pyturso for local-first databases that sync with the cloud, and libsql for remote-only access over the libsql protocol. Use when connecting Python applications to Turso Cloud.

turso-cloud-go

Work with Turso Cloud from Go: tursogo for local-first databases that sync with the cloud, and libsql-client-go for remote-only access over the libsql protocol. Use when connecting Go applications to Turso Cloud.

turso-cloud-rust

Work with Turso Cloud from Rust: the turso crate (sync feature) for local-first databases that sync with the cloud, and the libsql crate for remote-only access over the libsql protocol. Use when connecting Rust applications to Turso Cloud.

turso-cloud-auth

Authenticate and authorize access to Turso Cloud databases: database URLs, platform tokens via the Turso CLI, scoping (group/database/read-only/time-limited), fine-grained per-table permissions, external auth providers via JWKS (Clerk, Auth0), and token invalidation. Use when issuing credentials, restricting what a client can do, or wiring an existing auth provider to Turso.

turso-cloud-vercel

Use and manage Turso Cloud databases provisioned through the Vercel Marketplace (integration slug tursocloud): injected environment variables, inspecting and provisioning resources with the Vercel CLI, region selection, and safety rules for credentials and destructive operations. Use when a Vercel project has — or needs — a Turso database.

Turso Cloud features

Turso Cloud databases support these features out of the box:

• Vector search — native similarity search for AI/RAG workflows, no extensions needed. Supports cosine, L2, and L1 distance functions with DiskANN indexing.
• Full-text search — keyword search with BM25 ranking via built-in FTS support.
• AI & embeddings — native vector types for storing and querying embeddings.
• Branching — create isolated copy-on-write database branches for testing/staging.
• Point-in-time recovery — restore databases to any previous point in time (retention depends on plan).
• Embedded replicas — local replicas that sync with Turso Cloud for fast reads and offline support.
• SQLite extensions — JSON, FTS5, R*Tree, SQLean, UUID, regexp.
