Overview

What is MySQL MCP Server?

MySQL MCP Server is an MCP server that gives AI agents direct access to MySQL databases. It lets agents execute SQL queries, manage database content, and interact with database objects through a simple interface.

How to use MySQL MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, create a .env file with MySQL connection details, and run npm run build. Then configure the server for Claude Desktop or Cline by adding the appropriate MCP server configuration pointing to the built index.js file. Once installed, you can ask your AI agent to list tables, execute SQL queries, or create notes.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the prerequisites for running MySQL MCP Server?

You need Node.js 18 or higher, a running MySQL server, and a database with appropriate permissions.

How do I configure MySQL MCP Server for Claude Desktop?

Add a server entry to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (MacOS) or `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows), specifying the `command`, `args` path to `build/index.js`, and `env` variables for MySQL connection.
