Security Considerations

• Never commit environment variables or credentials

• Use a database user with minimal required permissions

• Consider implementing query whitelisting for production use

• Monitor and log all database operations

Security Best Practices

This MCP server requires database access to function. For security:

1. Create a dedicated OceanBase user with minimal permissions

2. Never use root credentials or administrative accounts

3. Restrict database access to only necessary operations

4. Enable logging for audit purposes

5. Regular security reviews of database access

See OceanBase Security Configuration Guide for detailed instructions on:

• Creating a restricted OceanBase user

• Setting appropriate permissions

• Monitoring database access

• Security best practices

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always follow the principle of least privilege when configuring database access.
