mysql-mcp
A lightweight MCP server that provides safe, read-only access to MySQL databases.
Features
- Multi-database — connect to multiple MySQL instances, switch between them on the fly
- Read-only — write operations (
INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,DROP, etc.) are blocked - Lazy connections — pools are created on first use, not at startup
- MCP native — built on
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, works with any MCP client
