MySQL MCP Server

Integrations

  • Provides SQL query execution capabilities against a MySQL database, including SELECT, CREATE TABLE, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations, with results returned in JSON format.

  • Runs as a Node.js application, requiring Node.js v14 or higher to execute the MySQL MCP server.

MySQL MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to a MySQL database. It allows agent to execute SQL queries against a MySQL database.

Features

  • Execute SQL queries against a MySQL database:
    • Read data (SELECT statements)
    • Create tables (CREATE TABLE statements)
    • Insert data (INSERT INTO statements)
    • Update data (UPDATE statements)
    • Delete data (DELETE FROM statements)
  • Returns query results in JSON format
  • Configurable database connection settings
  • Transaction logging with unique IDs

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v14 or higher)
  • MySQL server
  • MCP SDK

Installation

  1. Clone or download this repository
  2. Install dependencies:
cd mysql-mcp-server npm install
  1. Build the server:
npm run build

Configuration

The MySQL MCP server uses the following environment variables for configuration:

  • MYSQL_HOST: MySQL server hostname (default: 'localhost')
  • MYSQL_PORT: MySQL server port (default: 3306)
  • MYSQL_USER: MySQL username (default: 'mcp101')
  • MYSQL_PASSWORD: MySQL password (default: '123qwe')
  • MYSQL_DATABASE: MySQL database name (default: 'mcpdb')

Database Setup

  1. Create a MySQL database:
CREATE DATABASE mcpdb;
  1. Create a MySQL user with access to the database:
CREATE USER 'mcp101'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '123qwe'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mcpdb.* TO 'mcp101'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
  1. Create a test table with sample data:
USE mcpdb; CREATE TABLE test_users ( id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(100), email VARCHAR(100), created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); INSERT INTO test_users (name, email) VALUES ('John Doe', 'john@example.com'), ('Jane Smith', 'jane@example.com'), ('Bob Johnson', 'bob@example.com');

MCP Configuration

Add the MySQL MCP server to your MCP settings file:

VSCode (Claude Extension)

File: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Change the args according your MySQL configuruation

{ "mcpServers": { "mysql-mcp-server": { "autoApprove": [], "disabled": false, "timeout": 60, "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/mysql-mcp-server/build/index.js" ], "env": { "MYSQL_HOST": "localhost", "MYSQL_PORT": "3306", "MYSQL_USER": "mcp101", "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "123qwe", "MYSQL_DATABASE": "mcpdb" }, "transportType": "stdio" } } }

Claude Desktop App

File: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "mysql-mcp-server": { "autoApprove": [], "disabled": false, "timeout": 60, "command": "node", "args": [ "/path/to/mysql-mcp-server/build/index.js" ], "env": { "MYSQL_HOST": "localhost", "MYSQL_PORT": "3306", "MYSQL_USER": "mcp101", "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "123qwe", "MYSQL_DATABASE": "mcpdb" }, "transportType": "stdio" } } }

Usage

Once configured, you can use the MySQL MCP server in your conversations with Claude. For example:

"Can you show me all the users in the test_users table?"

Claude will use the run_sql_query tool to execute:

SELECT * FROM test_users

Available Tools

run_sql_query

Executes a read-only SQL query (SELECT statements only) against the MySQL database.

Parameters:

  • query: The SQL SELECT query to execute.

Example:

{ "query": "SELECT * FROM test_users" }

create_table

Creates a new table in the MySQL database.

Parameters:

  • query: The SQL CREATE TABLE query to execute.

Example:

{ "query": "CREATE TABLE products (id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(100), price DECIMAL(10,2))" }

insert_data

Inserts data into a table in the MySQL database.

Parameters:

  • query: The SQL INSERT INTO query to execute.

Example:

{ "query": "INSERT INTO products (name, price) VALUES ('Laptop', 999.99), ('Smartphone', 499.99)" }

update_data

Updates data in a table in the MySQL database.

Parameters:

  • query: The SQL UPDATE query to execute.

Example:

{ "query": "UPDATE products SET price = 899.99 WHERE name = 'Laptop'" }

delete_data

Deletes data from a table in the MySQL database.

Parameters:

  • query: The SQL DELETE FROM query to execute.

Example:

{ "query": "DELETE FROM products WHERE name = 'Smartphone'" }

Security Considerations

  • Use a dedicated MySQL user with appropriate privileges for the MCP server
  • Consider using read-only privileges if you only need to query data
  • Store sensitive information like database credentials securely
  • All operations are logged with unique transaction IDs for auditing

You must be authenticated.
