Turso databases speak libSQL, a fork of SQLite with a network protocol. Dora has a native libSQL path, so you connect with a URL plus an auth token instead of a username and password.
You get the data viewer and SQL editor over your remote Turso database, the same as you would for a local SQLite file.
libSQL connection string
libsql://[DATABASE]-[ORG].turso.io?authToken=[TOKEN]Steps
1.Get the database URL
Run turso db show [DATABASE] in your terminal. Copy the URL — it looks like libsql://[DATABASE]-[ORG].turso.io.
2.Create an auth token
Run turso db tokens create [DATABASE] to mint a token. Copy it — Dora uses this in place of a password.
3.Add a connection in Dora
Create a new libSQL connection in Dora. Paste the libsql:// URL and the auth token (or paste the full libsql://...?authToken=... string and Dora will split it out).
4.Test and connect
Test, then connect. Your Turso tables appear in the sidebar, ready to browse and query.
Good to know
- Auth tokens can be scoped and rotated. If a connection stops working, mint a fresh token with turso db tokens create.
- You can also point Dora at a local libSQL/SQLite file — the same engine, no token needed.
- Install the Turso CLI from the Turso docs if you do not have it; the dashboard can also surface the database URL.
