If you want an AI assistant working directly with Mysql By Cdata, the mysql by cdata mcp server is the bridge. :heavy_exclamation_mark: This project builds a local, read-only MCP server. For fully remote MCP access, check out the first managed MCP platform: CData Connect AI. For locally hosted, full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities and a simplified setup.
:heavy_exclamation_mark: This project builds a local, read-only MCP server. For fully remote MCP access, check out the first managed MCP platform: CData Connect AI. For locally hosted, full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities and a simplified setup, check out our CData MCP Server for MySQL. ## Purpose We created this read-only MCP Server to allow LLMs (like Claude Desktop) to query live data MySQL supported by the CData JDBC Driver for MySQL.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:
mysql_get_tables — The mysql_get_tables tool exposed by this servermysql_get_columns — The mysql_get_columns tool exposed by this servermysql_run_query — The mysql_run_query tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.
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. Mysql By Cdata sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — mysql_get_tables, mysql_get_columns, mysql_run_query — tells you what it is really for. 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.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| mysql_get_tables | The mysql_get_tables tool exposed by this server. |
| mysql_get_columns | The mysql_get_columns tool exposed by this server. |
| mysql_run_query | The mysql_run_query tool exposed by this server. |

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.
