At a Glance & Executive Verdict
MCP Mysql Server
Databases · Local stdio
Quality: 48/100 (Fair) | Auth: other
Microsoft SQL Server
Databases · Local stdio
Quality: 43/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose MCP Mysql Server if you need specialized Databases tools running via a local process. Choose Microsoft SQL Server if your workspace requires Databases integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose MCP Mysql Server when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Databases domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: other (Free / Open Source).
You have access to required keys: MYSQL_HOST, MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE.
Primary tools included: Parameterized SELECT queries, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE execution, Table listing and schema inspection.
MCP Mysql Server is categorized under Databases and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Microsoft SQL Server belongs to Databases using local stdio subprocess. Select MCP Mysql Server when you need capabilities focused on databases and Microsoft SQL Server when you require tools for databases.
Get metadata for one relation (columns, indexes, constraints, relationships) or routine (definition). `name` accepts `Users`, `dbo.Users` or `[dbo].[Users]`. `includes` omitted → `columns`. Relations also carry an approximate `row_count`.
run_query
Execute read-only T-SQL SELECT; only SELECT allowed (no DML/DDL). Returns results as CSV in the `data` field (inline) or a snapshot resource URI when `snapshot=true`. Inline limit: 500 rows (hard ceiling 1000). Snapshot limit: 10 000 rows (hard ceiling 50 000). Prefer `analyze_query` for plan tunin…
analyze_query
Analyze execution plan for a read-only SELECT. Returns compact JSON summary (cost, operators, cardinality, warnings, `missing_indexes`, waits, stats); no result rows, full XML at `plan_uri`.
run_command
Execute write T-SQL (DDL/DML). Advertised only when some profile sets `AllowWrite=true` (off by default); still rejected at call time when the target `profile` is locked. Caller manages transactions. Returns `rows_affected` (−1 for DDL) and server `messages`. Marked destructive; intended for human-…
