How do I install the go mysql mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `MYSQL_HOST`, `MYSQL_PORT`, `MYSQL_USER`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD`, `MYSQL_DATABASE` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Go Mysql MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI agents with direct access to MySQL databases. This server enables AI models to query, search, and analyze MySQL database content through a set of well-defined tools.

Key capabilities

Schema exploration — - List all schemas/databases with pagination
Table discovery — - Browse tables in any schema with detailed metadata
Structure inspection — - Get column definitions, types, and indexes
Safe querying — - Execute SELECT queries with automatic result limiting
Full-text search — - Search for values across all text columns in a table
DDL retrieval — - Get CREATE TABLE statements for any table

Requirements

Go 1.23 or later - Docker (optional, for building Docker images)

Practical notes

Maintained by SagenKoder, written in Go.
