Overview

What is mcp-mysql-server?

mcp-mysql-server is a Python script that provides a command-line interface for interacting with a local MySQL database via standard input/output (stdio) using FastMCP. It allows querying, inspecting schema, and performing data operations on a MySQL database, designed for local development environments.

How to use mcp-mysql-server?

Install Python 3.x and a local MySQL server. Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt. Create a config.ini file with MySQL connection parameters (host, user, password, database; port optional). Run the script using python mcp-mysql-server.py --config config.ini. The script exposes tools such as test_connection, list_tables, read_table, write_table, get_table_schema, and execute_sql. Docker Compose support is also available.

Frequently asked questions

How do I configure mcp-mysql-server?

Create a `config.ini` file in the same directory (or specify its path with `--config`) containing `[mysql]` section with `host`, `user`, `password`, `database`, and optionally `port` (defaults to 3306).

What tools does mcp-mysql-server expose?

It exposes six tools: `test_connection`, `list_tables`, `read_table`, `write_table`, `get_table_schema`, and `execute_sql`. Each performs a specific database operation.

Does mcp-mysql-server support Docker?

Yes. Use `docker-compose up -d` to start a MySQL container with sample data and the MCP MySQL Server container. A special configuration file (`config.docker.ini`) is used for Docker.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.x, a local MySQL server instance, and the Python libraries listed in `requirements.txt` (installed via `pip install -r requirements.txt`).

How can I run the unit tests?

Run `cp mcp-mysql-server.py mcp_mysql_server.py && python -m unittest tests.py` locally. For Docker, use `docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up --build`. Tests use mocking and do not require a real database.
