Cloud SQL for MySQL Admin MCP Server

The Cloud SQL for MySQL Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server gives AI-powered development tools the ability to work with your Google Cloud SQL for MySQL databases. It supports connecting to instances, exploring schemas, and running queries.

Features

An editor configured to use the Cloud SQL for MySQL MCP server can use its AI capabilities to help you:

  • Provision & Manage Infrastructure - Create and manage Cloud SQL instances and users

Installation and Setup

Prerequisites

  1. Download the Toolbox binary: Download the latest binary for your operating system and architecture from the storage bucket. Check the releases page for OS and CPU architecture support: https://storage.googleapis.com/genai-toolbox/v0.21.0/<os>/<arch>/toolbox

    • Replace <os> with linux, darwin (macOS), or windows.
    • Replace <arch> with amd64 (Intel) or arm64 (Apple Silicon).
    curl -L -o toolbox https://storage.googleapis.com/genai-toolbox/v0.21.0/linux/amd64/toolbox
    
  2. Make it executable:

    chmod +x toolbox
    
  3. Add the binary to $PATH in .~/bash_profile:

    export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/toolbox
    

Note: You may need to restart Antigravity for changes to take effect. Windows OS users will need to follow one of the Windows-specific methods.

  • A Google Cloud project with the Cloud SQL Admin API enabled.
  • Ensure Application Default Credentials are available in your environment.
  • IAM Permissions:
  • Cloud SQL Viewer (roles/cloudsql.viewer)
  • Cloud SQL Admin (roles/cloudsql.admin)

Configuration

Add the following configuration to your MCP client (e.g., settings.json for Gemini CLI):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloud-sql-mysql-admin": {
      "command": "toolbox",
      "args": ["--prebuilt", "cloud-sql-mysql-admin", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, the MCP server will automatically provide Cloud SQL for MySQL capabilities to your AI assistant. You can:

  • "Create a new Cloud SQL for MySQL instance named 'e-commerce-prod' in the 'my-gcp-project' project."
  • "Create a new user named 'analyst' with read access to all tables."

Server Capabilities

The Cloud SQL for MySQL MCP server provides the following tools:

Tool Name Description
create_instance Create an instance (PRIMARY, READ-POOL, or SECONDARY).
create_user Create BUILT-IN or IAM-based users for an instance.
get_instance Get details about an instance.
get_user Get details about a user in an instance.
list_instances List instances in a given project and location.
