Common questions

Is MySQL MCP by InsightfulPipe safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 17 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

MySQL MCP Server by Insightful Pipe

Connect MySQL to AI assistants: schemas, tables, SQL and database health for MySQL and MariaDB.

Part of the Insightful Pipe MCP Server Collection — use MySQL from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

MCP Server URL

https://mysql.insightfulmcp.com/

What is MySQL MCP?

MySQL MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server hosted by InsightfulPipe. Browse schemas, inspect tables, and run SQL against your own MySQL or MariaDB instance. Read vs. read-write is decided by the GRANT/REVOKE privileges on the role this connector logs in as.

Installation

Claude
  1. Copy the MCP Server URL: https://mysql.insightfulmcp.com/
  2. Open Claude Connectors Settings
  3. Scroll to the bottom and click Add custom connector
  4. Paste the URL and click Add
  5. Click Connect and sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked. Claude then lists the connector as connected.
ChatGPT

Custom MCP servers are added through ChatGPT's Developer mode. Availability depends on your ChatGPT plan, and workspace admins may need to allow it.

  1. Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT settings
  2. Create a new app for a remote MCP server and paste the URL: https://mysql.insightfulmcp.com/
  3. Sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked. The connection finishes as soon as you are signed in.

See OpenAI's guide: Developer mode and MCP apps in ChatGPT

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http mysql https://mysql.insightfulmcp.com/
Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{

"mcpServers": { "mysql": { "url": "https://mysql.insightfulmcp.com/" } } }

When Cursor shows Needs authentication, click Connect and sign in to InsightfulPipe if asked.

Available Actions

8 actions: 7 read, 1 write.

Control What Your AI Can Do

You decide what AI agents can do with each connected account:

  • Turn individual actions on or off for every connected account, so agents only see the actions you allow.
  • Connect as Read-only or Read & Write. A read-only connection can only enable read actions.
  • Destructive actions stay off by default. Actions such as deletes are disabled until an admin enables them.
  • Team access per account. Restricted team members only use the accounts they are granted, with the read actions enabled on them.

Usage Examples

"List the tables in my database"
"Show the schema of the orders table"
"Run a query for revenue by month"

Pricing

The MySQL MCP server is included in every InsightfulPipe plan, together with all other MCP servers and the CLI. Plans start at $29.99/month, and you can try it for 7 days. See insightfulpipe.com/pricing for current plans.
