Database Tools

What it does

Database Tools is an MCP server that bridges AI clients like Claude Desktop to MySQL databases. Instead of switching to a database GUI or writing queries manually, you simply ask your AI to list databases, inspect table structures, check table sizes, or run custom SQL — and it executes them through this server.

Tools

• query — Execute any valid SQL query against the configured MySQL database and get formatted results
• list_databases — Show all accessible databases on the MySQL server
• show_tables — List tables in a database with structure and size information
• describe_table — Get column definitions, types, and constraints for a specific table

Installation

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "database-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "database-tools"]
    }
  }
}

Configure your MySQL credentials in the mysql.js file before use.
