Mcp Db Navigator

MySQL Navigator MCP

A powerful MySQL/MariaDB database navigation tool using MCP (Model Control Protocol) for easy database querying and management.

Features

• Connect to MySQL/MariaDB databases
• Switch between different databases dynamically
• Execute SQL queries with type safety
• Retrieve database schema information
• Pydantic model validation for query parameters
• Secure credential management
• Comprehensive logging system
• Connection pooling and retry mechanisms
• SSL/TLS support for secure connections

Log File Location (Cross-Platform)

By default, all logs are written to:

• Windows: C:\Users\<YourUsername>.mcp\mcp-db.log
• macOS/Linux: /home/<yourusername>/.mcp/mcp-db.log or /Users/<yourusername>/.mcp/mcp-db.log

If the .mcp folder does not exist in your home directory, the application will automatically create it. If you run into any issues, you can manually create the folder:

Windows:

mkdir $env:USERPROFILE.mcp

macOS/Linux:

mkdir -p ~/.mcp

Installation

From PyPI (recommended for most users):

pip install mcp-db-navigator

From source (for development):

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd mcp-db
pip install -e .

3. Create a .env file with your database credentials:

DB_HOST=your_host
DB_PORT=your_port
DB_NAME=your_database_name
DB_USER=your_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
DB_SSL_CA=/path/to/ssl/ca.pem  # Optional: for SSL/TLS connections
DB_MAX_RETRIES=3  # Optional: number of connection retries
DB_RETRY_DELAY=1.0  # Optional: delay between retries in seconds

Usage Examples

1. Command Line

Run the MCP server directly from your terminal:

mcp-db --config /path/to/your/project/.env

2. In Cursor

To use this MCP server in Cursor:

• Open Cursor settings and add a new MCP server.
• Use the following configuration (example):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-navigator": {
      "command": "mcp-db",
      "args": [
        "--config",
        "/absolute/path/to/your/.env"
      ]
    }
  }
}

• Make sure the path to your .env file is absolute.

3. In Claude Desktop

If Claude Desktop supports MCP servers:

• Add a new MCP server and point it to the mcp-db command with the --config argument as above.
• Refer to Claude Desktop’s documentation for details on adding custom MCP servers.
