| 13 | MCP server that gives Claude and other LLMs access to MySQL — inspect schemas, run queries, and optionally write data, all through the Model Context Protocol. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Key Features |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - **Read-only by default** — write operations opt-in via env flags |
| 18 | - **Claude Code integration** — optimized for Anthropic's Claude Code CLI |
| 19 | - **SSH tunnel support** — built-in support for remote databases |
| 20 | - **Multi-DB mode** — query across multiple databases without reconnecting |
| 21 | - **Schema-specific permissions** — per-database read/write control |
| 22 | - **PII redaction** — automatic masking of sensitive data in results |
| 23 | - **Remote mode** — HTTP transport with bearer token auth |
| 24 | - **SSL/TLS support** — encrypted connections with mTLS option |
| 25 | |
