Connects Claude directly to MySQL databases through the Model Context Protocol, exposing five core operations: query execution for SELECT statements, execute for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, table listing, schema description, and connection management. Uses prepared statements to prevent SQL injection and supports both connection string and environment variable authentication. You'd reach for this when you need Claude to read from tables, update records, or analyze database schemas without building custom integrations. Handles connection cleanup automatically and provides detailed error reporting for failed queries or connection issues.
A Model Context Protocol server that provides MySQL database operations. This server enables AI models to interact with MySQL databases through a standardized interface.
To install MySQL Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server --client claude
npx @f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server
The server requires the following environment variables to be set in your MCP settings configuration file:
recommended use
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server", "mysql://user:password@localhost:port/database"],
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server"],
"env": {
"MYSQL_HOST": "your_host",
"MYSQL_USER": "your_user",
"MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
"MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database"
}
}
}
}
在 ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.mcp-mysql-server]
command = "npx"
args = [
"-y",
"@f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server",
"mysql://user:password@127.0.0.1:3306/database"
]
在 %USERPROFILE%\.codex\config.toml
[mcp_servers.mcp-mysql-server]
command = "npx"
args = [
"-y",
"@f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server",
"mysql://user:password@127.0.0.1:3306/database"
]
The evals package loads an mcp client that then runs the index.ts file, so there is no need to rebuild between tests. You can load environment variables by prefixing the npx command. Full documentation can be found here.
