Simon Willison converts browser compatibility data to SQLite using AI tools

Simon Willison has created a SQLite database from Mozilla's browser compatibility data, inspired by their new MDN MCP service. He utilized Claude Code (Opus 4.8) to generate a script for this conversion and employed Codex Desktop (GPT-5.5) to set up a GitHub Actions workflow. This workflow automatically builds the database and pushes it to an orphan branch on GitHub, making the ~66MB file accessible via the GitHub CDN with open CORS headers for use with tools like Datasette Lite.
