Intro

go-mcp-mysql is a Go-based MySQL MCP server you can install as one binary; supports DSN or flags and offers --read-only mode to reduce accidental writes.

Best for: agents that need database introspection + safe querying in MySQL

Works with: MySQL, MCP clients (Cursor/Claude Desktop), Go toolchain optional

Setup time: 3-10 minutes

Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 53 stars · 14 forks · pushed 2026-01-21.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-verified entrypoint: go install -v github.com/Zhwt/go-mcp-mysql@latest.

Main

  • Prefer --read-only when you first wire this into an agent, then explicitly enable writes only after you trust the prompt and tool boundaries.

  • Use the DSN method when you already have standardized MySQL DSNs across environments; use flag mode for quick local testing.

  • Treat explain checks as a safety net: the README documents an EXPLAIN-based plan check and a flag to disable it when needed.

Source-backed notes

  • README provides install options: download a release binary or run go install -v github.com/Zhwt/go-mcp-mysql@latest.
  • README shows MCP client config examples for both flag-based connection and DSN-based connection.
  • README documents optional flags including --read-only and --with-explain-check behavior notes.

FAQ

  • Do I need Node.js or Python?: No — README explicitly says no Node.js/Python environment is required.
  • Can I force read-only behavior?: Yes — --read-only limits tools to safer operations per README.
  • How do I configure credentials?: Use either flags (--host, --user, --pass, etc.) or a MySQL DSN string as shown in README.
