Overview

What is MySQL MCP Server?

It provides a server to interact with MySQL databases using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It is designed for accessing MySQL databases from WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) environments.

How to use MySQL MCP Server?

Clone the repository, create a Python 3.11+ virtual environment, install dependencies, and run the setup script. The server can be started directly (./run_direct.sh), as a module (./run_module.sh), or inside a Docker container (./run_docker.sh). Connection to MySQL is configured via environment variables (MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE).

Key features of MySQL MCP Server

Retrieves a list of tables in the database
Reads data from a specific table (up to 100 rows)
Executes SQL queries (SELECT, SHOW TABLES, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
Implements MCP endpoints: list_resources, read_resource, list_tools, call_tool
Supports direct, module, and Docker execution
Provides Nox sessions for testing, formatting, and linting

Use cases of MySQL MCP Server

Query a MySQL database from any MCP‑compatible client (e.g., AI assistants)
Access a MySQL database running inside WSL from outside the subsystem
Automate database interactions by calling SQL tools through the MCP protocol
Run ad‑hoc SQL queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) without a full client
