Frequently asked questions

What protocol does MySQL MCP Server use?

It implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for read‑only database interaction.

How is authentication handled?

Authentication uses a database URL in the format `mysql://username:password@host:port/database`. Credentials can be passed via environment variables for security.

What runtime dependencies are required?

Node.js and npm are required. The server is installed from a Git repository using `npm install` and `npm link`.

Where does the data live?

Data stays in the connected MySQL database. The server only reads metadata and executes queries; it does not store data locally.

What are the security recommendations?

Use a MySQL user with minimal read‑only permissions, store credentials in environment variables, and never commit configuration files with passwords to version control.
