Frequently asked questions

What operations are allowed by default?

Only read-only operations: SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, and EXPLAIN. INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE are blocked unless explicitly enabled via environment variables.

How do I configure the database connection?

Set environment variables such as MARIADB_HOST, MARIADB_PORT, MARIADB_USER, MARIADB_PASSWORD, and optionally MARIADB_DATABASE. Refer to the installation section for full details.

Can I modify data with this server?

By default, no. Data modification is prevented. You can enable it by setting MARIADB_ALLOW_INSERT, MARIADB_ALLOW_UPDATE, or MARIADB_ALLOW_DELETE to `true`, but this is strongly discouraged.

What are the default timeout and row limit?

The default query timeout is 10000 ms (10 seconds) and the default row limit is 1000 rows. These can be changed via MARIADB_TIMEOUT_MS and MARIADB_ROW_LIMIT.

How do I install this server?

Install globally via npm: `npm install -g mariadb-mcp-server`. Alternatively, clone the repository, run `npm install` and `npm run build`, then point your MCP settings to the built `dist/index.js`.
