MCP Server for MySQL databases

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

MCP Server for MySQL is a Model Context Protocol server developed in NodeJS that allows read-only access to MySQL databases, enabling large language models (LLMs) to inspect database schemas and execute read-only queries.

To use the server, integrate it with the Claude Desktop application by configuring the claude_desktop_config.json file with the appropriate MySQL connection details.

  • Provides read-only SQL query execution against MySQL databases - Automatically discovers table schemas and provides JSON schema information - Simple integration with application configurations
  1. Allowing LLMs to access and query databases without modification risk
  2. Enabling database schema inspection for data analysis tasks
  3. Facilitating read operations in a secure and controlled environment

Use these steps to connect mcp-server-mysql in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-mysql-yuru-sha"
      ]
    }
  }
}
