## What it is
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants securely interact with MySQL databases by listing tables, reading data, and executing SQL queries through a controlled interface. It supports STDIO and SSE/HTTP transports, SSH tunneling, SSL, and multi-database mode.

## Use cases
- connect Claude Desktop to a MySQL database
- let an AI assistant explore database schema and run SQL queries
- expose MySQL data to LLM agents safely
- query MySQL tables from an MCP client
- set up a remote MCP server for database access over SSE
- give Claude Code read access to production-like MySQL data

## When to choose
- you use an MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code) with MySQL
- you want a controlled, read-oriented interface for AI database exploration
- you need SSH tunneling or SSE transport for remote database access

## When to avoid
- your database is PostgreSQL, SQLite, or something other than MySQL
- you need a general-purpose MySQL ORM or driver for application code
- you require full read-write transactional database administration from AI

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: mcp, database, database-driver, http-server, security
