Overview

MySQL MCP Server is a MySQL implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI models to interact with MySQL databases through a standardized interface.

To use the MySQL MCP Server, install it via npm, configure the server settings in the Claude Desktop App, and run the server with the specified command.

List available database tables - Get table schemas - Execute read-only SQL queries - Safe transaction handling with automatic rollback

Integrating AI models with MySQL databases for data retrieval.
Facilitating standardized interactions between AI applications and database systems.
Enabling developers to manage database operations through AI-driven interfaces.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect MySQL MCP Server 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": {
    "mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mysql-mcp-server-wuwen1030"
      ]
    }
  }
}
