20 Best MySQL MCP Servers, Compared (August 2026)

Updated 20 of 506 MySQL servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

For most developers, I would reach for benborla/mcp-server-mysql: it is a community favourite, has 96 stars gained per 30 days and 25 commits in the last 12 weeks, and its npm package had 12,807 downloads in a typical week. It provides read-only queries and schema access with writes disabled by default, which is the safest common setup. If you need one MCP gateway across MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite instead of MySQL alone, DBHub is the better answer: it had a commit 5 days ago and 83 commits in the last 12 weeks.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works — a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account — and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

Quick picks

  • 1MCP Server for MySQL — Read-only database analysis for LLMs — it offers a query tool and schema resource, with writes disabled by default.
  • 2MySQL MCP Server — For AI-assisted MySQL exploration and ad-hoc SQL, it exposes query, schema, and sampling tools.
  • 3DBHub — Multi-database MySQL work through a single lightweight MCP gateway—DBHub connects Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite with read-only guardrails.
  • 4MCP MariaDB Server — AI assistants that need to query and manage MariaDB databases, including vector stores, through the MCP protocol.
  • 5DBCode — For MySQL developers already working in VS Code who need schema inspection and query execution over MCP, DBCode offers this through its database client extension.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about MySQL — named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it — whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular — People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite — Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant — Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging — Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady — Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

    MCP Server for MySQL

    Community favourite
    benborla/mcp-server-mysql ↗

    Best for: Read-only database analysis for LLMs — it offers a query tool and schema resource, with writes disabled by default.

    It executes SQL queries through a mysql_query tool and exposes a mysql://tables resource for schema metadata, with write operations gated behind environment flags. Choose it only if you can run Node.js v20+ and connect to a MySQL 5.7+ database.

    MySQL MCP Server

    Community favourite
    designcomputer/mysql_mcp_server ↗

    Best for: For AI-assisted MySQL exploration and ad-hoc SQL, it exposes query, schema, and sampling tools.

    The server lists database tables as resources and exposes three tools: execute_sql for arbitrary queries and DML, get_schema_info for column metadata, and get_table_sample for previewing rows. Before using it, note that it only accepts single SQL statements, so multi-statement queries are not supported.

    DBHub

    Community favourite
    bytebase/dbhub ↗

    Best for: Multi-database MySQL work through a single lightweight MCP gateway—DBHub connects Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite with read-only guardrails.

    DBHub exposes at least execute_sql and search_objects by default, with opt-in explain_sql and health_check tools, and connects to MySQL among other databases via a single MCP interface. Its zero-dependency design requires Node.js 22.5 or higher, and while the default is read-only and token-efficient, the README emphasizes the need for a TOML configuration to manage multiple database connections.

    MCP MariaDB Server

    Steady

    Best for: AI assistants that need to query and manage MariaDB databases, including vector stores, through the MCP protocol.

    This server exposes tools for listing, querying, and creating databases, tables, and vector stores, along with read-only SQL execution. It requires setting database connection environment variables and, for vector features, an embedding provider API key.

    DBCode

    Community favourite
    dbcodeio/public ↗

    Best for: For MySQL developers already working in VS Code who need schema inspection and query execution over MCP, DBCode offers this through its database client extension.

    DBCode is a VS Code extension whose optional MCP server provides access to supported databases, their schemas, and query execution. Its MCP server is not a standalone process, so choosing it means running DBCode inside VS Code, Cursor, or Windsurf.

    Steady
    liliangshan/mcp-server-mysql ↗

    Best for: Administering MySQL from an MCP client when you need controlled DDL and DML, permission checks, and a record of operations.

    It connects to MySQL and exposes SQL execution for DDL and DML, database info, permission checks, operation logs, and DDL-specific logs. Before installing, note that access is governed by environment variables such as READONLY, ALLOW_DDL, ALLOW_DROP, and ALLOW_DELETE, so those must be set deliberately.

    Multi Database MCP Server

    Community favourite
    FreePeak/db-mcp-server ↗

    Best for: Operations touching several MySQL databases concurrently — per-connection auto-generated query, transaction, schema, and performance tools make it fit.

    Its README documents a unified MCP interface that auto-generates database-specific tools for queries, transactions, schema exploration, and performance across configured connections. Choose it knowing the actual exposed tool list has not been verified, so plan to confirm tool names in your client before relying on the documented set.

    Best for: For a MySQL database that needs schema drift detection and data-quality checks alongside SQL queries, it exposes diff, audit, and query tools.

    It exposes 12 tools covering SQL querying, schema metadata, schema diffing, ERD metadata, query explain, and write confirmations. It is not an npm package—you must run the CLI, Docker image, or desktop app to use this MCP server.

    Universal DB MCP

    Abandoned but popular
    Anarkh-Lee/universal-db-mcp ↗

    Best for: Natural-language querying and schema analysis of MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Redis from Claude Desktop — it defaults to read-only mode.

    Universal DB MCP is a Node.js MCP server that connects AI assistants to MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and other databases through MCP stdio, MCP SSE, MCP Streamable HTTP, and a REST API. The one thing worth knowing is that it defaults to read-only mode, so it is for querying and schema analysis rather than modifications.

    MCP Toolbox for Databases

    Community favourite
    googleapis/mcp-toolbox ↗

    Best for: Connecting an MCP client to Google Cloud databases — it offers prebuilt exploration tools such as list_tables and execute_sql.

    The README describes an MCP server with prebuilt generic database tools such as list_tables and execute_sql, plus a custom-tools framework for structured queries, semantic search, and NL2SQL. Before choosing it, note that the supported databases are all Google Cloud services, so MySQL is supported only via Cloud SQL.

    Best for: Developers using Prisma ORM against PostgreSQL who want AI agents to handle schema and queries — it provides agent skills for those workflows.

    It ships agent skills that let AI assistants load Prisma contracts and drive schema and query changes end-to-end. It does not support MySQL; PostgreSQL is the only database at general availability.

    GraphJin

    Community favourite
    dosco/graphjin ↗

    Best for: Teams that need one governed surface for multiple data sources — it runs its own discovery loop as an auditable, policy-checked agent rather than exposing raw credentials.

    GraphJin is a compiler and runtime that exposes GraphQL and MCP interfaces, letting agents discover before acting, validate queries, and run approved work with an execution ledger. Worth knowing: it ships a built-in agent that requires an API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google to run in agentic mode, and the MCP tool list was not measured at publication.

    mcp-server-db

    Emerging
    Nam088/mcp-db-server ↗

    Best for: A team with a mixed database stack (MySQL plus Postgres or Redis) that wants a single MCP server with per-connection read-only mode.

    The server exposes 100 tools for querying and managing Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, MySQL, MongoDB, and LDAP, with schema inspection, query execution, and health checks. It expects connections to be configured through environment variables or a YAML file, and it loads database drivers on demand, so the needed driver must be installed.

    MySQL MCP Server

    Dormant
    guangxiangdebizi/MySQL_MCP ↗

    Best for: For teams that want AI to operate MySQL without seeing credentials — header-based preconfiguration keeps passwords out of model context while still enabling full CRUD via SQL execution.

    It exposes tools for connection management (add, list, select, remove) and for query and schema inspection (execute_query, show_tables, describe_table, show_databases). It runs as a standalone HTTP server and stores sessions in memory, so a server restart forces MCP clients to reconnect and credentials must be provided via headers or dynamic input.

Questions people ask

How do benborla/mcp-server-mysql and designcomputer/mysql_mcp_server differ?

benborla/mcp-server-mysql is read-only with writes disabled by default, had 96 stars gained per 30 days, 25 commits in the last 12 weeks, and an npm package. designcomputer/mysql_mcp_server exposes 3 tools with a tool description grade of A, had 44 commits in the last 12 weeks, and has no published npm package. Choose benborla for a read-only default and npm install; choose designcomputer if you want a small server with clearly described tools.

Which server should I choose if I need write access to MySQL?

liliangshan/mcp-server-mysql is the one specifically described for controlled DDL and DML, with permission checks and operation logs. Its 5 tools have a tool description grade of B. It had a commit 90 days ago and 0 commits in the last 12 weeks, so be expect it as a stable but quiet option.

Does DBHub only support MySQL?

No. DBHub connects to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and SQLite through one MCP gateway with read-only guardrails. It also works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code, so it suits a mixed database stack.

What should I be careful about with f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server?

It handles both reads and writes, and its 5 exposed tools include connect_db, query, execute, list_tables, and describe_table. Since execute is not read-only, point it at a database where the agent is allowed to make changes. It also had a last commit 279 days ago and 0 commits in the last 12 weeks.

Does MCP MariaDB Server work with MySQL?

MCP MariaDB Server is for managing MariaDB databases, not MySQL specifically. It supports standard SQL and adds vector and embedding-based search. It had a commit 10 days ago and 2 commits in the last 12 weeks; for a MySQL-specific setup, use a MySQL server instead.

What does Abandoned but popular mean for Universal DB MCP?

Universal DB MCP is labeled Abandoned but popular. It had a last commit 156 days ago and 0 commits in the last 12 weeks, but it still has 908 stars, 33 stars gained per 30 days, and 144 downloads in a typical week. Use it if you accept that its upstream is not actively changing.
