SkySQL MCP server and client repository.
SkySQL MCP server and client repository. The skysql mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 3 defined tools rather than through you.
This package contains everything needed to set up the SkySQL/MariaDB Cloud MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which provides a powerful interface for managing SkySQL MariaDB database instances and interacting with AI Agents.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverCursor — Add the following to your Cursor MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json or .cursor/mcp.json in your project):Windsurf — Add the following to your Windsurf MCP config (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json):You will need one environment variable: SKYSQL_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
The server ships on npm as @wong2/mcp-cli, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the database access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. SkySQL's toolset — Prerequisites, Cursor, Windsurf — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by skysqlinc; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against SkySQL's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
