Pick MySQL MCP Server Pro if you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Pick Neon MCP Server if you want the official, vendor-maintained server, and you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option.

Add MySQL MCP Server Pro

Install / run

pip install mysql_mcp_server_pro

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mysql-mcp-server-pro": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "mysql_mcp_server_pro",
        "mysql_mcp_server_pro",
        "--mode",
        "stdio"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MYSQL_HOST": "192.168.x.xxx",
        "MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
        "MYSQL_USER": "root",
        "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "root",
        "MYSQL_DATABASE": "a_llm",
        "MYSQL_ROLE": "admin"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Add Neon MCP Server

Install / run

npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.neon.tech/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
