MySQL

Connect any MySQL-compatible database to Agent Context. This includes standard MySQL, as well as managed services like PlanetScale, TiDB, Amazon RDS for MySQL, and Azure Database for MySQL.

Setup

1. Go to Agent Context in the dashboard
2. Click Add Source → MySQL
3. Enter your connection details (or paste a connection string)
4. Click Test Connection to verify, then Save

Connection Parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
Host	Yes	—	Hostname or IP address of the MySQL server
Port	No	3306	TCP port number
Database	Yes	—	Name of the database to connect to
Username	Yes	—	Username for authentication
Password	Yes	—	Password for the specified user
Table	No	—	Table or view name. Leave empty to discover all tables.

Alternatively, you can paste a connection string:

mysql://user:password@host:3306/database

Table Discovery

When the Table field is left empty, Agent Context automatically discovers all accessible tables and views in the database. You can then select which ones to expose to your agents.

When a specific table is provided, only that table is connected.

Managed Services

These MySQL-compatible services work with the MySQL connector:

Service	Where to find the connection string
PlanetScale	Dashboard → Connect → Connection string
TiDB Cloud	Cluster → Connect → Connection string
Amazon RDS	RDS Console → Connectivity & security
Azure Database for MySQL	Azure Portal → Connection strings

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Connection refused	Verify the host, port, and that the MySQL server is accepting remote connections. Check firewall rules.
Authentication failed	Verify username and password. Check that the user has SELECT permission on the target tables.
Timeout	Check network connectivity. For cloud databases, ensure your IP is allowlisted.
