[ManojINaik]

Any one know how to setup in cursor MCP

@ManojINaik

I haven't personally tested mysql_mcp_server in Cursor yet, but it should just work if correctly configured.
https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol

Note: MCP tools may not work with all models. MCP tools are only available to the Agent in Composer.

Just tried, but could not get it working in cursor. Need instructions.

What models did you try it with @mowliv?

Claude 3.7 thinking, but I never got past the MCP settings window which said connection refused. I tried port 8000 and 8080. It wasn't clear to me whether the URL would be just http://localhost or http://localhost/sse. I tried some variants. [image: image.png]

@mowliv Have you tried creating a simple example using just the Claude App?

[mowliv]

No, I haven't.

@mowliv Please try that because that may help you find any problem with the mysql_mcp_server or MySQL server settings.

I tried wrapping the command in a bash script, where I export the necessary env variables. I then point the command to the bash script in cursor settings. This works with other MCP tools, but did not work here. Seems like its unable to pick up the env vars:

2025-03-10 22:46:43,301 - mysql_mcp_server - ERROR - Missing required database configuration. Please check environment variables: 2025-03-10 22:46:43,301 - mysql_mcp_server - ERROR - MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, and MYSQL_DATABASE are required

I configured using uvx my mcp.json file looks like

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mysql-mcp-server": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "--from",
                "mysql-mcp-server",
                "mysql_mcp_server"
            ],
            "env": {
                "MYSQL_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
                "MYSQL_PORT": "3306",
                "MYSQL_USER": "",
                "MYSQL_PASSWORD": "",
                "MYSQL_DATABASE": ""
            }
        }
    }
}
