Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • polardb-mysql-mcp — server
  • polardb-postgresql-mcp — server
  • polardb-openapi-mcp — server

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

PolarDB's toolset — polardb-mysql-mcp, polardb-postgresql-mcp, polardb-openapi-mcp — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
