Frequently asked questions

What operations are allowed?

Only SELECT, INSERT, SHOW, and DESCRIBE operations are permitted. Destructive operations like UPDATE and DELETE are explicitly forbidden.

How do I configure the server?

Set environment variables for MySQL connection: `MYSQL_HOST`, `MYSQL_PORT`, `MYSQL_USER`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD`, `MYSQL_DB`, and `MYSQL_TIMEZONE`. All have defaults except password and database.

Does the server protect against SQL injection?

Yes. All user inputs are handled with parameterized queries, and SELECT queries automatically get LIMIT clauses to prevent large data dumps.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Node.js 18 or later, TypeScript, and access to a MySQL database. The server uses connection pooling to manage database connections.

How do I test or debug the server?

Run `npm run inspector` to start the MCP Inspector, which provides a browser URL for testing tools and resources interactively.
