# Csv To Sql — MCP tool `findutils:csv_to_sql`

Convert CSV text into SQL INSERT statements, optionally preceded by a CREATE TABLE. The first row is the header and becomes the column list. Column types are inferred from the first 50 data rows as integer, numeric, boolean, or text, and identifiers are quoted for the chosen dialect (Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite). Empty cells become NULL by default. Nothing is executed against a database.
