MySQL MCP Server

What is MySQL MCP Server?

MySQL MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents to execute SQL queries against a MySQL database. It provides tools for reading, creating, inserting, updating, and deleting data, returning results in JSON format. Designed for developers who want to connect their MCP-compatible agents (like Claude) to a MySQL database.

How to use MySQL MCP Server?

Install by cloning the repository and running npm install and npm run build. Configure the server using environment variables (MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE). Then add the server to your MCP settings file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) with the build path and connection details. Once configured, agents can invoke tools like run_sql_query to interact with the database.
