One-click installCopy Anchor Link

The button installs placeholder values; edit them in mcp.json afterwards.

It adds this server:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@haymon-ai/dbmcp"],
  "env": {
    "DBMCP_DB_BACKEND": "mysql",
    "DBMCP_DB_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
    "DBMCP_DB_USER": "root",
    "DBMCP_DB_PASSWORD": "change-me",
    "DBMCP_DB_NAME": "mydb"
  }
}

Manual setupCopy Anchor Link

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project). ${env:NAME} reads a value from Cursor's environment:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbmcp": {
      "command": "dbmcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "DBMCP_DB_BACKEND": "mysql",
        "DBMCP_DB_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
        "DBMCP_DB_USER": "root",
        "DBMCP_DB_PASSWORD": "${env:DBMCP_DB_PASSWORD}",
        "DBMCP_DB_NAME": "mydb"
      }
    }
  }
}

For a server you started with DBMCP_TRANSPORT=http:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dbmcp": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:9001/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:DBMCP_TOKEN}" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor also supports envFile to load variables from a .env file, so sensitive values like DBMCP_DB_PASSWORD can stay out of the JSON config.
