Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MindsDB MySQL MCP Serversearch the documentation knowledge base for 'how to configure authentication'"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MindsDB MySQL MCP Server
MCP server for MindsDB that connects via MySQL protocol (port 47335), providing reliable tools for Claude Code and Desktop.
Why MySQL over SSE/HTTP?
MySQL protocol is stable and well-tested
No async event loop issues (the "this event loop is already running" errors)
Better error messages and debugging
Works reliably with knowledge base queries

With MCP Inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.jsOr with a remote MindsDB instance:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.jsManual verification
After configuring Claude Code, restart and verify:
# In Claude Code, these tools should be available:

# ... etc.MindsDB SQL Reference
Knowledge Base Query
-- Semantic search
SELECT * FROM my_kb WHERE content = 'search phrase' LIMIT 10;
-- With relevance filter
SELECT * FROM my_kb WHERE content = 'query' AND relevance >= 0.5;
-- Hybrid search (keyword + semantic)
SELECT * FROM my_kb WHERE content = 'query' AND hybrid_search_alpha = 0.8;
-- Metadata filter
SELECT * FROM my_kb WHERE content = 'query' AND metadata_column = 'value';Output Columns
