Overview

What is MySQL Database Access MCP Server?

This MCP server provides read-only access to MySQL databases, allowing users to list databases, list tables, describe schemas, and execute safe SQL queries. It is designed for AI assistants and tools that need to inspect or query MySQL data without modification.

How to use MySQL Database Access MCP Server?

Configure environment variables (MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE) and add the server to your MCP settings file. Once connected, invoke the tools list_databases, list_tables, describe_table, or execute_query with the required parameters.

Frequently asked questions

1

What types of queries are allowed?

Only SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, and EXPLAIN statements are permitted. All other statements are blocked for safety.

`MYSQL_HOST`, `MYSQL_PORT`, `MYSQL_USER` are required. `MYSQL_PASSWORD` and `MYSQL_DATABASE` are optional but recommended.

3

How do I install the server?

Install globally from npm (`npm install -g mysql-mcp-server`), locally in a project, build from source, or use the Smithery CLI.

4

Are there any limits on queries?

Yes: a query timeout prevents long-running queries, and a row limit prevents excessive data return. The connection pool is also configurable.

5

Can I write or modify data?

No. The server enforces read-only access; any attempt to execute INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DDL statements is rejected.
