Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.
const child = spawn(command, args, { env: process.env });
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const child = spawn(command, args, { env: process.env });

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Database MCP Mysql and you get told the day something new turns up.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.
claude mcp add database-mcp-mysql -- uvx database-mcp-mysql
{
"mcpServers": {
"database-mcp-mysql": {
"args": [
"database-mcp-mysql"

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
MYSQL_HOST (Database host), MYSQL_USER (Database user (a read-only user is recommended)), MYSQL_PASSWORD (Database password (or use MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE)), MYSQL_DATABASE (Database name).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
