Features

• Execute SQL queries
• List MySQL tables as resources
• Get table schemas
• Configurable through environment variables
• Supports various MySQL character sets and collations

Installation

From PyPI

pip install mcps-mysql-server

From Source (GitHub)

git clone https://github.com/Shubham9975/mcp-mysql-server.git
cd mcp-mysql-server
pip install .

Or for development (editable) mode:

pip install -e .

Set the following environment variables (required for connection):

• MYSQL_HOST: MySQL server host (default: "localhost")
• MYSQL_PORT: MySQL server port (default: 3306)
• MYSQL_USER: MySQL username (required)

• MYSQL_DATABASE: MySQL database name (required)
• MYSQL_CHARSET: MySQL character set (default: "utf8mb4")
• MYSQL_COLLATION: MySQL collation (default: "utf8mb4_unicode_ci")
• MYSQL_SQL_MODE: MySQL SQL mode (default: "TRADITIONAL")

MCP/Claude/Cursor Integration

Add this to your MCP configuration (e.g., ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-server": {
      "command": "mcps-mysql-server",
      "env": {
        "MYSQL_HOST": "localhost",
        "MYSQL_USER": "your_user",
        "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}
