MySQL FAQs

Question 1

What is MySQL MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

MySQL MCP Server enables Claude AI assistants (like Claude Desktop and Claude Code) to securely connect to and interact with your MySQL databases. It allows Claude to execute SQL queries, explore data, and manage database operations using natural language through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Question 2

How does Claude AI query my MySQL database?

Accepted Answer

Claude AI uses specific MCP tools, such as `mysql_query`, `list_databases`, and `switch_database`, to translate your natural language requests into SQL commands. These commands are then executed against your MySQL database, with strict permission validation.

Question 3

Is my MySQL data secure when accessed by Claude AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, security is a core feature. The server includes granular permission validation for every operation, API key authentication, encrypted MySQL passwords, SQL parsing to verify allowed actions, and comprehensive audit logging to ensure secure and controlled access.

Question 4

Can I control what operations Claude AI can perform on my databases?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The web-based UI provides a granular permission system where you can specify exactly which operations (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE) Claude AI is allowed to perform on each individual database, ensuring fine-grained control over data access.

Question 5

What are the primary use cases for integrating MySQL with Claude AI?

Accepted Answer

This integration is ideal for AI-driven data analysis, in-depth database exploration, efficient schema understanding, automated data migration tasks, and streamlined debugging by allowing Claude AI to directly interact with and manipulate your MySQL data.
