mysql-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

mysql-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from ttpears/mysql-mcp. It costs 3,996 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using a MySQL MCP server that can query and analyse data across several separate MySQL databases. MySQL is a database system, and MCP lets an AI assistant use such a server.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for discovering connected data sources, running SELECT or database-inspection queries, combining data across systems, analysing user journeys, and checking data consistency.
Why use it?
It helps combine information from systems such as customer management, business operations, analytics, and online shops while keeping database operations read-only.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is ttpears/mysql-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mysql-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mysql-mcp configures โ†’

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 CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” measured 2mo 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.

MySQL MCP Server

An intelligent MySQL MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with enterprise data federation capabilities, enabling LLMs to query and analyze data across multiple disparate MySQL data sources with expert analytics and comprehensive caching.

Features

๐Ÿข Enterprise Data Federation

  • Multi-Source MySQL Access: Connect to and query across completely different MySQL data sources (CRM, ERP, Analytics, E-commerce, etc.)
  • Intelligent Data Source Discovery: Automatically catalog and classify databases across all connected sources
  • Cross-Source Query Engine: Execute federated queries combining data from multiple business systems
  • Data Source Relationship Detection: Find connections between disparate systems (shared customer IDs, product codes, etc.)

๐Ÿ” Advanced Analytics

  • Read-only MySQL Operations: Execute SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, and EXPLAIN queries safely across all sources
  • Cross-Source Business Intelligence: Combine CRM customers with e-commerce orders, inventory with sales, etc.
  • User Journey Analytics: Track users across multiple business systems and touchpoints
  • Data Consistency Validation: Compare data integrity across different business systems
  • Performance Benchmarking: Compare query performance across different data sources

๐Ÿ’พ Enterprise Caching & Performance

  • Source-Specific Caching: High-performance caching system with TTL support isolated per data source
  • Connection Pooling: Efficient connection management across multiple business systems
  • Query Optimization: Expert query suggestions based on federated schema analysis

Caching System

The server includes a robust caching system that stores all query results, schema analysis, and discovery reports:

  • Query Results: Cached in ~/.mcp-mysql-cache/queries/[date]/ with 1-hour TTL
  • Schema Analysis: Cached in ~/.mcp-mysql-cache/schema-snapshots/ with 1-2 hour TTL
  • Discovery Reports: Cached in ~/.mcp-mysql-cache/reports/discovery-reports/ with 4-hour TTL
  • Relationship Analysis: Cached in ~/.mcp-mysql-cache/reports/relationship-analysis/

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.
