MySQL MCP Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 79 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 23 May 2026.
Python MCP server for MySQL database inspection and querying
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.
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 mysql-mcp-server -- uvx mdev-mysql-mcp-server
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql-mcp-server": {
"args": [
"mdev-mysql-mcp-server"
],
"command": "uvx"
}
}
}
[mcp_servers.mysql-mcp-server]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mdev-mysql-mcp-server"]
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql-mcp-server": {
"args": [
"mdev-mysql-mcp-server"
],
"command": "uvx"
}
}
}
{
"mcpServers": {
"mysql-mcp-server": {
"args": [
"mdev-mysql-mcp-server"
],
"command": "uvx"
}
}
}
This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
MYSQL_HOST (MySQL host), MYSQL_PORT (MySQL port), MYSQL_USER (MySQL username), MYSQL_PASSWORD (MySQL password), MYSQL_DATABASE (MySQL database name), MYSQL_POOL_SIZE (MySQL connection pool size), LOG_LEVEL (Python logging level), MYSQL_READ_QUERY_LIMIT (Maximum rows returned by read queries).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
