A side-by-side look at the MCP Server Mysql and MCP Redis Server MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose MCP Server Mysql for databases work as a local process; choose MCP Redis Server for databases as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_PORT, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASS, MYSQL_DB.REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PORT, REDIS_PASSWORD, REDIS_DB, REDIS_SSL.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
