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.

Connect this server

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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mysql-mcp-server -- uvx mdev-mysql-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "mdev-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.mysql-mcp-server]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mdev-mysql-mcp-server"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-mcp-server": {
      "args": [
        "mdev-mysql-mcp-server"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "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.

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 79 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 with the file path 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 79 times in the last week. Week over week that is -15%. 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.
