Looking for MCP solutions to connect with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases

Hello everyone!

I’m currently searching for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that can handle database operations for both MySQL and PostgreSQL. My goal is to enable Roo to retrieve data from these databases and perform updates as needed.

I’ve been trying to find a reliable solution that supports both database types, but I’m having trouble identifying the best options available. Has anyone here worked with MCPs for database connectivity? I’d really appreciate any recommendations or suggestions from the community.

Specifically, I need something that can handle basic CRUD operations and work seamlessly with both MySQL and PostgreSQL environments. Any advice on which MCP tools or libraries you’ve had success with would be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve been using database MCPs for 8 months - here’s what actually works. The official MCP database server is your best bet since it handles both MySQL and PostgreSQL with standard connection strings. Get your connection pooling right from the start. I didn’t and got hit with constant timeouts under load. Test your CRUD operations hard in both environments. PostgreSQL and MySQL don’t handle data types the same way, so you’ll run into surprises. Start with Docker containers for both databases to test your MCP setup before going live. And seriously focus on error handling - you’re dealing with different database engines through one interface, so things break in weird ways.
