Additional config needed when connecting to older MySQL version

[kirikorneev]

I am running a MySQL instance with 5.7 version. When trying to connect to it I was getting SSL connection errors (because of TLS stuff, ChatGPT told me) so I had to adjust the config code:

"ssl_disabled": True,
"allow_local_infile": True

Is it possible to add an env var for it, something like MYSQL_DISABLE_SSL?

The mysql_mcp_server doesn't include SSL internally, so there is no need for a flag to disable it. When required, users can tunnel SSL with a modular tool like PuTTY.

Without disabling it, I was getting this error:
Error executing query: 2026 (HY000): SSL connection error: error:0A000102:SSL routines::unsupported protocol

Maybe you were trying to connect to a port that expected SSL. The mysql_mcp_server doesn't include SSL support of any kind.
