How to Connect Cloudflare D1 to ChatGPT

Query your Cloudflare D1 data directly from ChatGPT using Sequel’s MCP server. Ask questions in plain English, with no SQL, no dashboards, and no context switching.

Short answer

Connect Cloudflare D1 to Sequel, then add Sequel's MCP server to ChatGPT using the config on this page. ChatGPT can then query your live Cloudflare D1 data in plain English, with no connector code and no CSV exports. Both steps take a few minutes.

Example prompts

Everything you can ask ChatGPT about your Cloudflare D1 data.

Ask in plain English — Sequel translates it into a Cloudflare D1 query, runs it, and ChatGPT hands back the answer. No SQL, no dashboards, no CSV exports.

What you can ask ChatGPT
  • How many rows are in each table?
  • Show me the 20 most recently created users.
  • What is the conversion rate from signup to first purchase, by month?
  • Which customers signed up last quarter and are still active?
  • Find duplicate email addresses in the users table.

How it works

Three steps to get started

1

Connect Cloudflare D1 to Sequel

In your Sequel dashboard, go to Connections and add Cloudflare D1. Sequel handles authentication and schema discovery automatically.

2

Add Sequel to the agent

Copy the Sequel MCP configuration into ChatGPT's settings file (shown below). Swap in your API key from Settings → API Keys.

3

Ask ChatGPT about your data

Restart ChatGPT and start asking questions. "How many rows are in each table?" — and get a real answer backed by live Cloudflare D1 data.

Why ChatGPT

What ChatGPT does with your Cloudflare D1 data

Real data, not hallucinations

ChatGPT with Sequel queries your actual databases in real time. Instead of guessing or making up numbers, it fetches accurate data from your connected sources and presents verified results.

Share data insights via ChatGPT conversations

Teams that already use ChatGPT for work can now use it for data questions too. Sequel handles the database access; ChatGPT handles the explanation and formatting.

Analyze data with Python in the same thread

When SQL isn't enough, Sequel's workbench tool lets ChatGPT run Python analyses — statistical summaries, charts, transformations — without leaving the conversation.

Configuration

Add Sequel to ChatGPT

Place this in ChatGPT Settings → Connectors and replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys.

ChatGPT Settings → Connectors

Install

Install Cloudflare D1 MCP in ChatGPT

Pick your app and Sequel installs itself: a one-click link where the client supports it, that client’s own few steps where it doesn’t. Every route signs in with your Sequel account over OAuth, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to keep in sync.

Already have an MCP client?

https://api.sequel.sh/mcp

Add it as a remote (streamable HTTP) server and sign in when prompted. Skills come with it; nothing else to install. Manual setup per client

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Cloudflare D1 to ChatGPT?

You need two things: (1) connect Cloudflare D1 to Sequel in your Sequel dashboard under Connections, and (2) add the Sequel MCP config to ChatGPT using the setup shown above. Once both are done, ChatGPT can query your Cloudflare D1 data directly.

What Cloudflare D1 data can ChatGPT access?

ChatGPT can access any data available through your Cloudflare D1 connection in Sequel. Use Sequel's search tool to discover available metrics and dimensions, then execute queries to pull the data you need.

Is my Cloudflare D1 data sent to ChatGPT's servers?

Query results are returned to ChatGPT as context within your conversation. Only the data you explicitly ask about is retrieved. Sequel never stores your query results permanently — they exist only for the duration of the tool call.

Do I need a Sequel account?

Yes. You need a Sequel account to connect Cloudflare D1 and generate an API key. Sign up free at sequel.sh — no credit card required. Then create a connection to Cloudflare D1 and generate an API key from Settings → API Keys.

Can I connect multiple Cloudflare D1 accounts?

Yes. Sequel supports multiple connections of the same type. If you have multiple Cloudflare D1 accounts or properties, add each as a separate connection in Sequel. ChatGPT will be able to query all of them.

How do I connect Sequel to ChatGPT?

In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Beta Features → Connectors (or Settings → Integrations, depending on your plan). Enter the Sequel MCP URL and your API key as the Authorization header.

Which ChatGPT plans support MCP?

MCP connector support is available on ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise plans. Check OpenAI's latest documentation for the most current availability.

Can I use Sequel with the ChatGPT API?

Yes — you can pass Sequel as a tool in any OpenAI API request by calling Sequel's MCP endpoint and converting the tool definitions to OpenAI's tool format. Contact us for guidance on this integration.

Is my data stored by OpenAI when I query through ChatGPT?

Query results are sent to OpenAI as context within your conversation and are subject to OpenAI's data handling policies. Review OpenAI's privacy policy for details. Sequel does not store query results.

How does Sequel connect to Cloudflare D1?

Through Cloudflare's D1 REST API. You sign in with Cloudflare, approve the connection, and choose which D1 database to connect. Sequel stores the resulting tokens encrypted and refreshes them automatically, so there is no API token to create, paste, or rotate by hand.

Can one connection reach more than one database?

No. You pick exactly one D1 database when you connect, and that choice is baked into the connection. Sequel has no tool that can list or query any other database. If you want to query a second database, add a second connection.

Is it read-only?

Yes, and it is enforced by Cloudflare rather than by us. Sequel requests only the D1 Read scope, so Cloudflare itself rejects any write that reaches the D1 API. The tools Sequel exposes are query and schema introspection, and nothing in the connector can create, update, or delete data.

Do I need to move my data anywhere?

No. Sequel queries D1 directly over Cloudflare's API. Nothing is copied into a warehouse and there is no sync to schedule. Query results are stored so you can export them, but your tables stay where they are.
