Overview

The adb-mysql-mcp-server provides a standardized interface that lets AI assistants interact directly with Alibaba Cloud AnalyticDB for MySQL databases through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables seamless access to database metadata and SQL operations so AI workflows can query, analyze, and manage data without needing to embed database-specific logic directly in the assistant.tch tools while working.

Transport

stdio

Tools

  • execute_sql
  • get_query_plan
  • get_execution_plan

Key Capabilities

  • Run SQL queries against an AnalyticDB for MySQL cluster.
  • Retrieve query plans to understand how queries will be executed.
  • Analyze execution statistics to optimize performance.
  • Enumerate databases and schema objects as machine-readable resources.
  • Expose DDL and configuration values for deeper introspection of database structure and settings.

How It Works

The server acts as a bridge between AI agents and an AnalyticDB for MySQL instance by translating MCP requests into SQL operations and database introspection queries on behalf of the assistant. It runs as a local process that your MCP client connects to via standard configuration, and uses environment variables to securely obtain connection details like host, port, credentials, and the target database.

Once running, AI agents can invoke the server’s tools to execute SQL, analyze query plans, or fetch metadata, with the MCP protocol handling JSON-RPC communication so the database looks like a native capability inside the AI assistant workflow.
