MySQL Schema Explorer
by shibayu36
Efficiently explore large MySQL database schemas with compressed metadata and detailed table descriptions.
What it does
This MCP server provides a way to explore MySQL database schemas without hitting context limits. It is specifically designed for large databases where a full schema dump would be too massive for the AI's context window, providing compressed and targeted schema information instead.
Tools
list_tables: Lists all table information in a specified database, including names, comments, and key constraints.describe_tables: Provides detailed column definitions, key constraints, and indexes for specific tables.
