"Execute query in MySQL to show me the databases."
2. **View tables in a database**
"Execute query in MySQL to show me the table `name_table`."
3. **Query the size of a table**
"Execute query in MySQL to show me the size of the table `name_table`."

"Execute query in MySQL: 'The description of what you want your query to do.'"
## Security
This tool runs with the permissions configured in the `mysql.js` file. Make sure the credentials provided have only the necessary permissions for the operations you want to allow.

If you have connection problems, check:
- That MySQL is running
- That the credentials in `mysql.js` are correct
- That the path in the Claude configuration file is correct
## Implementation
To query databases, simply ask Claude something like:
"Show me all databases in my MySQL" or "What is the size of the users table?"
