📦 Installation
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/mysql-mcp-server.git
cd mysql-mcp-server
npm install
Requirements: Node.js >= 18.0.0
🚀 Usage
Option 1: Direct Connection Parameters
node index.js --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3306 --database mydb --user root --password yourpass
Option 2: Auto-read from Spring Boot Project (Recommended for Java developers)
node index.js --project-dir /path/to/your/spring-boot-module
The server will automatically:
- Read
application.ymland detectspring.profiles.active - Load the corresponding
application-{profile}.yml - Parse
spring.datasourcefor connection info
Option 3: Auto-read from .gemini/settings.json
If no arguments are provided, the server will search for .gemini/settings.json in the current directory and up to 5 parent directories to load the MySQL configuration.

⚙️ IDE Configuration
Antigravity / Gemini
Edit ~/.gemini/settings.json or ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/mysql-mcp-server/index.js",
"--host", "127.0.0.1",
"--port", "3306",
"--database", "mydb",
"--user", "root",
"--password", "yourpass"
]
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/mysql-mcp-server/index.js",
"--host", "127.0.0.1",
"--port", "3306",
"--database", "mydb",
"--user", "root",
"--password", "yourpass"
]
}
}
}
Cursor
Edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/mysql-mcp-server/index.js",
"--project-dir",
"/path/to/your/spring-boot-module"
]
}
}
}
📝 Logging
Logs are written to the logs/ directory with daily rotation:
logs/
├── 2026-03-15.log
├── 2026-03-16.log
└── ...
Each log entry includes timestamp, level (INFO/WARN/ERROR), message, and optional structured data.
🔒 Safety
- Read queries are restricted to SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, and EXPLAIN
- Write operations require explicit use of the
executetool - DROP/TRUNCATE operations include a danger warning
- Failed switches automatically rollback to the previous connection
- SQL injection prevention via parameterized table name sanitization
