mysql-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md

mysql-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from askdba/mysql-mcp-server. It costs 120 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for an MCP server that provides read-only access to MySQL databases, including support for multiple database connections and SSH tunnels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Downloading Go dependencies, building the server, connecting through multiple data-source names or SSH tunnels, and implementing read-only MySQL tools.
Why use it?
They explain how to initialize and build the Go project and set expectations for safe database access and consistent tool logging.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mysql-mcp-server copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Copilot Instructions

This file provides setup and context for GitHub Copilot.

Setup Steps

These steps should be run to initialize the environment before the sandbox firewall is applied.

```setup-steps go mod download go build ./... ```

Architecture Context

  • This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for MySQL.
  • It supports read-only operations by default.
  • It uses a custom ConnectionManager to handle multiple DSNs and SSH tunnels.
  • Most tools follow a `wrapTool` pattern for consistent logging and token tracking.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
