Database Mcp Mysql

Overview

Database Mcp Mysql is a Model Context Protocol server that connects MySQL databases to AI assistants like Claude. It operates in read-only mode by default, enforces row limits and statement timeouts, and never logs secrets, making it safe for production use.

The server runs locally via the npm package @database-mcp/mysql, communicating over stdio with your MCP client. Setup requires three environment variables: MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_USER, and MYSQL_DATABASE. Version v0.4.2 is available under the MIT license, with source code maintained at arifulislamat/database-mcp on GitHub.

Database Mcp Mysql is listed in the Database category on mcp.site and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
