    git clone git@github.com:LeonMelamud/mysql-mcp.git cd mysql-mcp
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install
  3. Create a .env file in the root directory with your MySQL connection details:

    MYSQL_HOST=localhost MYSQL_USER=your_username MYSQL_PASSWORD=your_password MYSQL_DATABASE=your_database
  4. Build the server:

    npm run build

Installation

For Claude Desktop

Add the server config to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "mysql": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mysql-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "MYSQL_HOST": "localhost", "MYSQL_USER": "your_username", "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password", "MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database" } } } }

For Cline

Add the server config to your Cline MCP settings file:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json On Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json

{ "mcpServers": { "mysql": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/mysql-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "MYSQL_HOST": "localhost", "MYSQL_USER": "your_username", "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password", "MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

Usage Examples

Once installed, you can use the MySQL MCP server in your conversations with Claude:

List all tables in the database

Please list all the tables in my MySQL database.
