About mcp-mysql-connector
mcp-mysql-connector is an MCP server that exposes MySQL operations as tools for LLM agents and AI assistants. It covers queries, schema and user management, and transaction control, with metadata also available as resources.
Key features
- 01Connect to and disconnect from MySQL
- 02Execute SQL queries
- 03Manage databases, tables, columns, and indexes
- 04Create users and manage privileges
- 05Commit or roll back transactions
- 06Inspect database and table metadata
Use cases
- 01Run queries against a MySQL database
- 02Inspect table schemas and indexes
- 03Manage database users and privileges
- 04Apply or undo a set of database changes
MCP support
It exposes MySQL operations as MCP tools and database and table metadata as MCP resources. MCP clients can use it to query and manage a connected database.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Overview
mcp-mysql-connector is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides MySQL database operations as tools for LLM agents. It allows AI assistants to interact with MySQL databases through a standardized protocol, enabling:
- Database and table management
- Query execution
- User authentication and privilege management
- Schema introspection
- Transaction control
Install
pip install mcp-mysql-connector
Quick Start
Running the Server
# Run with stdio transport (default)
mcp-mysql-connector
# Or run programmatically
python -c "from mcp_mysql import mcp; mcp.run()"
Configuration
Connect to MySQL using the connect tool:
{
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3306,
"user": "root",
"password": "your_password",
"database": "your_database"
}

MCP Resources
The server provides dynamic resources for database and table metadata:
database://{name}- Database metadata including table listtable://{db}/{table}- Table metadata including schema, columns, and indexes
Usage Examples
Connect and Query
# First, connect to database
connect(host="localhost", user="root", password="secret", database="mydb")
# Execute a query
execute_query(sql="SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = true")
# List all tables
list_tables(database="mydb")
Create Database and Table
# Create a database
create_database(name="newapp")
# Create a table
create_table(name="users", schema="id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(255), email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE")
User Management
# Create a new user with password
create_user(username="app_user", host="localhost", password="secure_password")
# Grant privileges
grant_privileges(privileges="SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE", on="newapp.*", username="app_user", host="localhost")
Transaction Control
# Start transaction
execute_query(sql="BEGIN")
# Execute operations
execute_query(sql="INSERT INTO accounts (balance) VALUES (100)")
# Commit or rollback
commit() # or rollback()

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
