+
+## Installation
+
+There are several ways to install and configure the MCP server but the most common would be checking this website https://smithery.ai/server/@benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+
+### Cursor
+
+For Cursor IDE, you can install this MCP server with the following command in your project:
+
+1. Visit https://smithery.ai/server/@benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+2. Follow the instruction for Cursor
+
+
+MCP Get provides a centralized registry of MCP servers and simplifies the installation process.
+
+### Claude Code
+
+#### Option 1: Import from Claude Desktop (Recommended if already configured)
+
+If you already have this MCP server configured in Claude Desktop, you can import it automatically:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add-from-claude-desktop
+```
+
+This will show an interactive dialog where you can select your `mcp_server_mysql` server to import with all existing configuration.
+
+#### Option 2: Manual Configuration
+
+**Using NPM/PNPM Global Installation:**
+
+First, install the package globally:
+```bash
+# Using npm
+npm install -g @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+
+# Using pnpm
+pnpm add -g @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+```
+
+Then add the server to Claude Code:
+```bash
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql \
+  -e MYSQL_HOST="127.0.0.1" \
+  -e MYSQL_PORT="3306" \
+  -e MYSQL_USER="root" \
+  -e MYSQL_PASS="your_password" \
+  -e MYSQL_DB="your_database" \
+  -e ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -- npx @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+```
+
+**Using Local Repository (for development):**
+
+If you're running from a cloned repository:
+```bash
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql \
+  -e MYSQL_HOST="127.0.0.1" \
+  -e MYSQL_PORT="3306" \
+  -e MYSQL_USER="root" \
+  -e MYSQL_PASS="your_password" \
+  -e MYSQL_DB="your_database" \
+  -e ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e PATH="/path/to/node/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" \
+  -e NODE_PATH="/path/to/node/lib/node_modules" \
+  -- /path/to/node /full/path/to/mcp-server-mysql/dist/index.js
+```
+
+Replace:
+- `/path/to/node` with your Node.js binary path (find with `which node`)
+- `/full/path/to/mcp-server-mysql` with the full path to your cloned repository
+- Update MySQL credentials to match your environment
+
+**Using Unix Socket Connection:**
+
+For local MySQL instances using Unix sockets:
+```bash
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql \
+  -e MYSQL_SOCKET_PATH="/tmp/mysql.sock" \
+  -e MYSQL_USER="root" \
+  -e MYSQL_PASS="your_password" \
+  -e MYSQL_DB="your_database" \
+  -e ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -- npx @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+```
+
+#### Choosing the Right Scope
+
+Consider which scope to use based on your needs:
+
+```bash
+# Local scope (default) - only available in current project
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql [options...]
+
+# User scope - available across all your projects
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql -s user [options...]
+
+# Project scope - shared with team members via .mcp.json
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql -s project [options...]
+```
+
+For database servers with credentials, **local** or **user** scope is recommended to keep credentials private.
+
+#### Verification
+
+After adding the server, verify it's configured correctly:
+
+```bash
+# List all configured servers
+claude mcp list
+
+# Get details for your MySQL server
+claude mcp get mcp_server_mysql
+
+# Check server status within Claude Code
+/mcp
+```
+
+#### Multi-Database Configuration
+
+For multi-database mode, omit the `MYSQL_DB` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql_multi \
+  -e MYSQL_HOST="127.0.0.1" \
+  -e MYSQL_PORT="3306" \
+  -e MYSQL_USER="root" \
+  -e MYSQL_PASS="your_password" \
+  -e MULTI_DB_WRITE_MODE="false" \
+  -- npx @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+```
+
+#### Advanced Configuration
+
+For advanced features, add additional environment variables:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add mcp_server_mysql \
+  -e MYSQL_HOST="127.0.0.1" \
+  -e MYSQL_PORT="3306" \
+  -e MYSQL_USER="root" \
+  -e MYSQL_PASS="your_password" \
+  -e MYSQL_DB="your_database" \
+  -e MYSQL_POOL_SIZE="10" \
+  -e MYSQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT="30000" \
+  -e MYSQL_CACHE_TTL="60000" \
+  -e MYSQL_RATE_LIMIT="100" \
+  -e MYSQL_SSL="true" \
+  -e ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION="false" \
+  -e MYSQL_ENABLE_LOGGING="true" \
+  -- npx @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+```
+
+#### Troubleshooting Claude Code Setup
+
+1. **Server Connection Issues**: Use `/mcp` command in Claude Code to check server status and authenticate if needed.
+
+2. **Path Issues**: If using a local repository, ensure Node.js paths are correctly set:
+   ```bash
+   # Find your Node.js path
+   which node
+
+   # For PATH environment variable
+   echo "$(which node)/../"
+
+   # For NODE_PATH environment variable
+   echo "$(which node)/../../lib/node_modules"
+   ```
+
+3. **Permission Errors**: Ensure your MySQL user has appropriate permissions for the operations you've enabled.
+
+4. **Server Not Starting**: Check Claude Code logs or run the server directly to debug:
+   ```bash
+   # Test the server directly
+   npx @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+   ```
+
+### Using NPM/PNPM
+
+For manual installation:
+
+```bash
+# Using npm
+npm install -g @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+
+# Using pnpm
+pnpm add -g @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+```
+
+After manual installation, you'll need to configure your LLM application to use the MCP server (see Configuration section below).
+
+### Running from Local Repository
+
+If you want to clone and run this MCP server directly from the source code, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/benborla/mcp-server-mysql.git
+   cd mcp-server-mysql
+   ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies**
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   # or
+   pnpm install
+   ```
+
+3. **Build the project**
+   ```bash
+   npm run build
+   # or
+   pnpm run build
+   ```
+
+4. **Configure Claude Desktop**
+
+   Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "mcpServers": {
+       "mcp_server_mysql": {
+         "command": "/path/to/node",
+         "args": [
+           "/full/path/to/mcp-server-mysql/dist/index.js"
+         ],
+         "env": {
+           "MYSQL_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
+           "MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
+           "MYSQL_USER": "root",
+           "MYSQL_PASS": "your_password",
+           "MYSQL_DB": "your_database",
+           "ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION": "false",
+           "ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION": "false",
+           "ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION": "false",
+           "PATH": "/Users/atlasborla/Library/Application Support/Herd/config/nvm/versions/node/v22.9.0/bin:/usr/bin:/bin", // <--- Important to add the following, run in your terminal `echo "$(which node)/../"` to get the path
+           "NODE_PATH": "/Users/atlasborla/Library/Application Support/Herd/config/nvm/versions/node/v22.9.0/lib/node_modules" // <--- Important to add the following, run in your terminal `echo "$(which node)/../../lib/node_modules"`
+         }
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+   Replace:
+   - `/path/to/node` with the full path to your Node.js binary (find it with `which node`)
+   - `/full/path/to/mcp-server-mysql` with the full path to where you cloned the repository
+   - Set the MySQL credentials to match your environment
+
+5. **Test the server**
+   ```bash
+   # Run the server directly to test
+   node dist/index.js
+   ```
+
+   If it connects to MySQL successfully, you're ready to use it with Claude Desktop.
+
+### Run in remote mode
+
+To run in remote mode, you'll need to provide [environment variables](https://github.com/benborla/mcp-server-mysql?tab=readme-ov-file#environment-variables) to the npx script. 
+1. Create env file in preferred directory
+   ```bash
+   # create .env file
+   touch .env
+   ```
+2. Copy-paste [example file](https://github.com/benborla/mcp-server-mysql/blob/main/.env) from this repository
+3. Set the MySQL credentials to match your environment
+4. Set `IS_REMOTE_MCP=true`
+5. Set `REMOTE_SECRET_KEY` to a secure string.
+6. Provide custom `PORT` if needed. Default is 3000.
+7. Load variables in current session:
+   ```bash
+   source .env
+   ```
+8. Run the server
+   ```bash
+   npx @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+   ```
+9. Configure your agent to connect to the MCP with the next configuration:
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "mysql": {
+      "url": "http://your-host:3000/mcp",
+      "type": "streamableHttp",
+      "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "Bearer <REMOTE_SECRET_KEY>"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+

+## Configuration
+
+### Automatic Configuration with Smithery
+If you installed using Smithery, your configuration is already set up. You can view or modify it with:
+
+```bash
+smithery configure @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql
+```
+
+When reconfiguring, you can update any of the MySQL connection details as well as the write operation settings:
+
+- **Basic connection settings**:
+  - MySQL Host, Port, User, Password, Database
+  - SSL/TLS configuration (if your database requires secure connections)
+
+- **Write operation permissions**:
+  - Allow INSERT Operations: Set to true if you want to allow adding new data
+  - Allow UPDATE Operations: Set to true if you want to allow updating existing data
+  - Allow DELETE Operations: Set to true if you want to allow deleting data
+
+For security reasons, all write operations are disabled by default. Only enable these settings if you specifically need Claude to modify your database data.
+
+### Advanced Configuration Options
+For more control over the MCP server's behavior, you can use these advanced configuration options:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "mcp_server_mysql": {
+      "command": "/path/to/npx/binary/npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y",
+        "@benborla29/mcp-server-mysql"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+        // Basic connection settings
+        "MYSQL_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
+        "MYSQL_PORT": "3306",

+        "MYSQL_PASS": "",
+        "MYSQL_DB": "db_name",
+        "PATH": "/path/to/node/bin:/usr/bin:/bin",
+
+        // Performance settings
+        "MYSQL_POOL_SIZE": "10",
+        "MYSQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT": "30000",
+        "MYSQL_CACHE_TTL": "60000",
+
+        // Security settings
+        "MYSQL_RATE_LIMIT": "100",
+        "MYSQL_MAX_QUERY_COMPLEXITY": "1000",
+        "MYSQL_SSL": "true",
+
+        // Monitoring settings
+        "ENABLE_LOGGING": "true",
+        "MYSQL_LOG_LEVEL": "info",
+        "MYSQL_METRICS_ENABLED": "true",
+
+        // Write operation flags
+        "ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION": "false",
+        "ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION": "false",
+        "ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION": "false"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+### Basic Connection
+- `MYSQL_SOCKET_PATH`: Unix socket path for local connections (e.g., "/tmp/mysql.sock")
+- `MYSQL_HOST`: MySQL server host (default: "127.0.0.1") - ignored if MYSQL_SOCKET_PATH is set
+- `MYSQL_PORT`: MySQL server port (default: "3306") - ignored if MYSQL_SOCKET_PATH is set
+- `MYSQL_USER`: MySQL username (default: "root")
+- `MYSQL_PASS`: MySQL password

+- `PORT`: Port number for the remote MCP server (default: 3000)
+
+## Multi-DB Mode
+
+MCP-Server-MySQL supports connecting to multiple databases when no specific database is set. This allows the LLM to query any database the MySQL user has access to. For full details, see [README-MULTI-DB.md](./README-MULTI-DB.md).
+
+### Enabling Multi-DB Mode
+
+To enable multi-DB mode, simply leave the `MYSQL_DB` environment variable empty. In multi-DB mode, queries require schema qualification:
+
+```sql
+-- Use fully qualified table names
+SELECT * FROM database_name.table_name;
+
+-- Or use USE statements to switch between databases
+USE database_name;
+SELECT * FROM table_name;
+```
+
+## Schema-Specific Permissions
+
+For fine-grained control over database operations, MCP-Server-MySQL now supports schema-specific permissions. This allows different databases to have different levels of access (read-only, read-write, etc.).
+
+### Configuration Example
+
+```
+SCHEMA_INSERT_PERMISSIONS=development:true,test:true,production:false
+SCHEMA_UPDATE_PERMISSIONS=development:true,test:true,production:false
+SCHEMA_DELETE_PERMISSIONS=development:false,test:true,production:false
+SCHEMA_DDL_PERMISSIONS=development:false,test:true,production:false
+```
+
+For complete details and security recommendations, see [README-MULTI-DB.md](./README-MULTI-DB.md).
+
+## Testing
+
+### Database Setup
+
+Before running tests, you need to set up the test database and seed it with test data:
+
+1. **Create Test Database and User**
+   ```sql
+   -- Connect as root and create test database
+   CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS mcp_test;
+
+   -- Create test user with appropriate permissions
+   CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'mcp_test'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mcp_test_password';
+   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mcp_test.* TO 'mcp_test'@'localhost';
+   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+   ```
+
+2. **Run Database Setup Script**
+   ```bash
+   # Run the database setup script
+   pnpm run setup:test:db
+   ```
+
+   This will create the necessary tables and seed data. The script is located in `scripts/setup-test-db.ts`
+
+3. **Configure Test Environment**
+   Create a `.env.test` file in the project root (if not existing):
+   ```env
+   MYSQL_HOST=127.0.0.1
+   MYSQL_PORT=3306
+   MYSQL_USER=mcp_test
+   MYSQL_PASS=mcp_test_password
+   MYSQL_DB=mcp_test
+   ```
+
+4. **Update package.json Scripts**
+   Add these scripts to your package.json:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "scripts": {
+       "setup:test:db": "ts-node scripts/setup-test-db.ts",
+       "pretest": "pnpm run setup:test:db",
+       "test": "vitest run",
+       "test:watch": "vitest",
+       "test:coverage": "vitest run --coverage"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+### Running Tests
+
+The project includes a comprehensive test suite to ensure functionality and reliability:
+
+```bash
+# First-time setup
+pnpm run setup:test:db
+
+# Run all tests
+pnpm test
+```
+
+
+
+## Running evals
+
+The evals package loads an mcp client that then runs the index.ts file, so there is no need to rebuild between tests. You can load environment variables by prefixing the npx command. Full documentation can be found [here](https://www.mcpevals.io/docs).
+
+```bash
+OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key  npx mcp-eval evals.ts index.ts
+```
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Connection Issues**
+   - Verify MySQL server is running and accessible
+   - Check credentials and permissions
+   - Ensure SSL/TLS configuration is correct if enabled
+   - Try connecting with a MySQL client to confirm access
+
+2. **Performance Issues**
+   - Adjust connection pool size
+   - Configure query timeout values
+   - Enable query caching if needed
+   - Check query complexity settings
+   - Monitor server resource usage
+
+3. **Security Restrictions**
+   - Review rate limiting configuration
+   - Check query whitelist/blacklist settings
+   - Verify SSL/TLS settings
+   - Ensure the user has appropriate MySQL permissions
+
+4. **Path Resolution**
+If you encounter an error "Could not connect to MCP server mcp-server-mysql", explicitly set the path of all required binaries:
+```json
+{
+  "env": {
+    "PATH": "/path/to/node/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+*Where can I find my `node` bin path*
+Run the following command to get it:
+
+For **PATH**
+```bash
+echo "$(which node)/../"
+```
+
+For **NODE_PATH**
+```bash
+echo "$(which node)/../../lib/node_modules"
+```
+
+5. **Claude Desktop Specific Issues**
+   - If you see "Server disconnected" logs in Claude Desktop, check the logs at `~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp-server-mcp_server_mysql.log`
+   - Ensure you're using the absolute path to both the Node binary and the server script
+   - Check if your `.env` file is being properly loaded; use explicit environment variables in the configuration
+   - Try running the server directly from the command line to see if there are connection issues
+   - If you need write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE), set the appropriate flags to "true" in your configuration:
+     ```json
+     "env": {
+       "ALLOW_INSERT_OPERATION": "true",  // Enable INSERT operations
+       "ALLOW_UPDATE_OPERATION": "true",  // Enable UPDATE operations
+       "ALLOW_DELETE_OPERATION": "true"   // Enable DELETE operations
+     }
+     ```
+   - Ensure your MySQL user has the appropriate permissions for the operations you're enabling
+   - For direct execution configuration, use:
+     ```json
+     {
+       "mcpServers": {
+         "mcp_server_mysql": {
+           "command": "/full/path/to/node",
+           "args": [
+             "/full/path/to/mcp-server-mysql/dist/index.js"
+           ],
+           "env": {
+             "MYSQL_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
+             "MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
+             "MYSQL_USER": "root",
+             "MYSQL_PASS": "your_password",
+             "MYSQL_DB": "your_database"
+           }
+         }
+       }
+     }
+     ```
+
+6. **Authentication Issues**
+   - For MySQL 8.0+, ensure the server supports the `caching_sha2_password` authentication plugin
+   - Check if your MySQL user is configured with the correct authentication method
+   - Try creating a user with legacy authentication if needed:
+     ```sql
+     CREATE USER 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password';
+     ```
