FAQ

Is there an official MariaDB MCP server?+

Yes: MCP Toolbox for Databases, maintained by Google. There is also 1 community server: DBHub.

How do I connect MariaDB to Claude?+

In Claude Code, run the claude mcp add command shown above. In Claude Desktop, add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings > Developer > Edit Config) and restart the app.

How do I use the MariaDB MCP server in Cursor or VS Code?+

Open the Cursor or VS Code tab on the server above: it has the exact mcp.json entry. The same server also works in Claude Code, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Codex.

Is it safe to give an AI agent access to MariaDB?+

Start with the official server, a read-only or test account and approval prompts on for anything that writes. Content the agent reads from MariaDB (tickets, messages, pages) can carry prompt-injection instructions, so don't auto-approve actions.
