What is mcp-server-mariadb

mcp-server-mariadb

An MCP server implementation for retrieving data from mariadb

Features

Resources

Expose schema list in database

Tools

  • query_database
    • Execute read-only operations against MariDB

dependency

install mariadb

  • mac
    • when install mariadb, maybe raise os error below. you can resolve by installing mariadb-connector-c.

OSError: mariadb_config not found.

      This error typically indicates that MariaDB Connector/C, a dependency which
      must be preinstalled, is not found.
      If MariaDB Connector/C is not installed, see installation instructions
      If MariaDB Connector/C is installed, either set the environment variable
      MARIADB_CONFIG or edit the configuration file 'site.cfg' to set the
       'mariadb_config' option to the file location of the mariadb_config utility.


  1. execute brew install mariadb-connector-c
  2. execute echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mariadb-connector-c/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
  3. set environment variable export MARIADB_CONFIG=$(brew --prefix mariadb-connector-c)/bin/mariadb_config
  4. execute uv add mariadb again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
