mcp-mysql-read-only MCP

A community-built Model Context Protocol server providing read-only access to MySQL databases. Unlike static configurations, this server maintains connection state, allowing AI assistants to switch between different databases, servers, and credentials dynamically during a conversation session without requiring a client restart. It supports execution via npm or Docker containers.
