  2. 02Running queries without modifying database data

MCP support

The server exposes MySQL schema inspection and read-only query execution to MCP clients.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-yuru-sha": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "mcp/mysql"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commanddocker run -i --rm mcp/mysql

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

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.
