MCP tool that allows you to interact with MySQL databases
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Database Tools, the database tools mcp server is the bridge. MCP tool that allows you to interact with MySQL databases.
This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows Claude AI to interact directly with MySQL databases.
The server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Database servers turn schema archaeology and ad-hoc reporting into conversation, which is why they tend to be the second or third server people install. Database Tools sits in that group. Worth comparing against the other databases servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
With the following structure:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
// Other existing configurations...
"database-tools": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"C:\\path\\to\\index.js"
]
}
}
}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
Read-only SQL access to Postgres — let your assistant inspect schemas and answer questions from real data.
Manage your whole Supabase project in conversation — database, auth, storage, Edge Functions and branches.
Query, modify and analyse local SQLite databases in conversation — the fastest way to chat with a data file.
Metabase ships its own MCP endpoint — search your BI content, build and run queries, and save questions and dashboards without leaving the chat.
Official MongoDB server covering data, schemas and Atlas management — from find queries to spinning up clusters.
Serverless Postgres with database branching — point your assistant at Neon and let it work on disposable copies.
