Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MySQL MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Put your own value in place of <MYSQL_DATABASE> (MySQL database name). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: MYSQL_HOST (MySQL host), MYSQL_PORT (MySQL port), MYSQL_USER (MySQL username), MYSQL_PASSWORD (MySQL password), MYSQL_POOL_SIZE (MySQL connection pool size), LOG_LEVEL (Python logging level), MYSQL_READ_QUERY_LIMIT (Maximum rows returned by read queries).

MySQL MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MySQL MCP Server?

MySQL MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mdev-mysql-mcp-server was installed 104 times last week.

How do I connect MySQL MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mdev-mysql-mcp-server straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use MySQL MCP Server?

The pypi package mdev-mysql-mcp-server was installed 104 times in the last week. Week over week that is -16%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is MySQL MCP Server open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
