What it does
A Python MCP server for MySQL, installed from PyPI as mysql-mcp-server. It lists tables as resources, reads their contents, samples data, reports schema details and runs SQL statements one at a time. When no default database is set it works across all user databases with fully qualified table names. Connection details, TLS mode and an optional SSH tunnel are set through environment variables or a .env file. It runs locally over stdio, for example through uvx from Claude Code, or as an SSE server for self-hosted setups; the README also mentions a third-party hosted option.
