### Installing via Smithery

To install MySQL Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server):

```bash

```

### Manual Installation
```bash
npx @f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server
```

## Configuration

The server requires the following environment variables to be set in your MCP settings configuration file:

> recommended use

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server", "mysql://user:password@localhost:port/database"],
    }
  }
}
```

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@f4ww4z/mcp-mysql-server"],
      "env": {
        "MYSQL_HOST": "your_host",
        "MYSQL_USER": "your_user",
        "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "MYSQL_DATABASE": "your_database"
      }
    }
  }
}
```



## 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 src/evals/evals.ts src/index.ts
```
