About

MCP server for MySQL. Read-only by default, row caps, statement timeouts, secrets never logged.

Use this server

Add it to your MCP client. The catalogue lists this config verbatim from its source — it does not run, download, or vouch for the server. Review the command before you run it.

Add to Cursor

If the button doesn't open Cursor, use the JSON below — Cursor accepts the same mcpServers config.

VS Code 
code --add-mcp '{"name":"database-mcp-mysql","command":"npx","args":["@database-mcp/mysql"],"env":{"MYSQL_HOST":"","MYSQL_USER":"","MYSQL_PASSWORD":"","MYSQL_DATABASE":""}}'

  "mcpServers": {
    "database-mcp-mysql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@database-mcp/mysql"
      ],
      "env": {

        "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "",
        "MYSQL_DATABASE": ""

    }
  }
}

Environment variables are listed by name only — fill in your own values. Entries never carry secrets.
