FAQ from MySQL MCP Server

What are the prerequisites for running MySQL MCP Server?

Docker and docker-compose are required for containerized deployment. For local development, you need Python 3.13+ and Poetry.

How do I connect the server to my MySQL database?

Set the environment variables MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, and MYSQL_DATABASE before starting the container. The Docker run command passes these variables from the host environment.

What MCP tools does the server provide?

Five tools: execute_query (read-only SQL), execute_update (INSERT/UPDATE), get_tables, get_table_schema, and describe_database (comprehensive structure).

How do I integrate MySQL MCP Server with Cursor?

Add the provided JSON block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, specifying the Docker command and environment variables. The server will then be available as an MCP tool within Cursor.

Can I develop or run the server locally without Docker?

Yes, the project is packaged with Poetry for local development. The README lists Poetry as a prerequisite for non-Docker usage, though no explicit local run command is given.
