20 Best MySQL MCP Servers, Compared (September 2026)

Updated 20 of 533 MySQL servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

Most readers should use MCP Server for MySQL (benborla/mcp-server-mysql). It is read-only, so an LLM can inspect schemas and execute read-only queries without write access, and it is active: 23 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks, with a last commit 43 days ago. It also publishes an npm package that had 13,885 downloads in a typical week. If you need an agent to write to the database, the better answer is MySQL MCP Server (neverinfamous/mysql-mcp), which exposes read/write query, schema, JSON, transaction, and monitoring tools.

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.

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.

    Best for: For AI assistants that need to query and inspect MySQL databases: it exposes SQL execution, schema introspection, and table sampling tools.

    The server exposes three tools: execute_sql for running SQL statements, get_schema_info for column metadata, and get_table_sample for previewing rows. Before choosing it, note that it accepts only single SQL statements and does not support multi-statement queries.

    Multi Database MCP Server

    Community favourite▲ 1
    FreePeak/db-mcp-server ↗

    Best for: Teams running AI assistants against several SQL databases at once: it exposes per-database query, execute, transaction, schema, and performance tools.

    It generates a distinct set of query, execute, transaction, schema, and performance tools for each configured database connection, with per-database guards for read-only access, row limits, masking, and query timeouts. It is distributed as a Go module, so an installer should expect to build or fetch a Go binary rather than install an npm package.

    XGenerationLab/xiyan_mcp_server ↗

    Best for: MySQL users who want to query by asking plain-language questions: it exposes a get_data tool that converts natural language to SQL. For text-to-SQL queries, it is a strong choice.

    The README documents a get_data tool that turns natural language into SQL and returns query results, plus resources that list databases and sample table contents. It requires Python 3.11+, and the default remote mode needs an API key for the XiYanSQL model, though a local mode is available.

    MySQL MCP Server

    DormantNew
    guangxiangdebizi/MySQL_MCP ↗

    Best for: Managing multiple MySQL connections from an AI assistant: it exposes tools to add, select, and remove connections plus SQL execution.

    The server exposes connection-management tools (add_connection, list_connections, select_database, remove_connection) and SQL tools (execute_query, show_tables, describe_table, show_databases) over the StreamableHTTP MCP protocol. It keeps session state in memory, so restarting the server requires reinitializing the MCP client.

Questions people ask

Does MCP Server for MySQL allow writes?

No. It is read-only: its tools let an LLM inspect schemas and execute read-only queries, without write access. For write operations, use a server such as MySQL MCP Server (neverinfamous/mysql-mcp), which exposes read/write query, schema, JSON, transaction, and monitoring tools.

Which MCP server has the most tools?

mcp-server-db exposed 100 tools. Those tools cover Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, MySQL, MongoDB, and LDAP, so not all of them are MySQL-specific. Among MySQL-focused servers, MySQL MCP Server (neverinfamous/mysql-mcp) exposed 43 tools.

Is XiYan MCP Server actively maintained?

XiYan MCP Server is marked Abandoned but popular. Its last commit was 209 days ago and it had 0 commits in the last 12 weeks, so it is not receiving regular maintenance. It still exposes a get_data tool that converts natural language to SQL, but review it carefully before pointing it at a live database.

How do DBHub and Multi Database MCP Server differ?

DBHub is for read-only querying across PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and SQLite. Multi Database MCP Server supports MySQL and PostgreSQL and exposes per-database query, execute, transaction, schema, and performance tools. Choose DBHub for read-only multi-engine access, and Multi Database MCP Server when you need transactions and execution across MySQL and PostgreSQL.
