go-mcp-mysql — MySQL MCP Server (Go Binary)

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.
