Connect MySQL to any AI.

Ask Claude or ChatGPT about the data in your MySQL database, from the tables you approve, with writes only for the roles you allow.

Read from MySQL when someone asks. Nothing exported, nothing copied, and changes only where you allow them.

MySQL connects to FrontierOps once, and any AI your team uses, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Perplexity, reaches it through that connection.

Examples

Ask in any language. Answered from MySQL.

What it can do

What the AI can read in MySQL, and what it can do.

It can read

Read-only by default
  • Any table or view you approve, through read-only SELECT and WITH queries
  • One statement per call: batched statements are refused before anything is sent
  • No schema probing: INFORMATION_SCHEMA, SHOW, DESCRIBE and the mysql, performance_schema and sys databases are blocked
  • No file access: INTO OUTFILE, LOAD DATA and LOAD_FILE are blocked
  • Results capped by row count and size, with a query timeout

It can do, if you allow it

Needs write access
  • Insert rows into an approved table
  • Update rows in an approved table, with a WHERE clause
  • Delete rows from an approved table, with a WHERE clause
  • Upsert: insert a row, or update it in place if the key already exists

Each is its own permission, never on the User role. REPLACE INTO, TRUNCATE, schema changes and stored procedures are refused, and every call is one auto-committed statement. Every write is on record.

Why connect it

How the MySQL integration works.

Orders, bookings and customer records often sit in a MySQL database behind your app or your store, where only a developer can query them. Connected once, your team asks in plain English and gets answers from the tables approved for them. Writes stay off unless you turn them on, and even then each one is a single checked statement.

Questions

What people ask about connecting MySQL.

Does it work with MariaDB, Aurora or PlanetScale?

Yes. MySQL 8 is the baseline, and MariaDB, Amazon Aurora MySQL, PlanetScale and TiDB work the same way. It connects with a username and password, with TLS on by default.

How are writes guarded?

Insert, update, delete and upsert are separate permissions, off for the User role and limited to approved tables. Update and delete need a WHERE clause, so a slip cannot rewrite or empty a table without an explicit override. REPLACE INTO is refused because it deletes and re-inserts rows.

Can it see every database on the server?

No. It sees the tables you approve, named by database and table. Switching databases is blocked, schema lookups are refused, and a query that names any other table never runs.

Is this a MySQL MCP server?

Yes, and one built for a whole company. FrontierOps gives Claude, ChatGPT and any other MCP client one connection to MySQL, set up once by an admin. What each role can read or change is decided in FrontierOps, and every call is on record, instead of each person running their own server with their own login.

Why not connect MySQL to Claude or ChatGPT directly?

A direct connection links one AI to MySQL through one person’s login, with that person’s settings. That works for one person. For a team it means no shared definitions, no single place to decide who can see or change what, and starting over when you switch AI. Through FrontierOps, MySQL is connected once, for every AI and every agent, under one set of permissions, with every call on record.

Works well with

One connection each. One set of rules across all of them.
