Is MySQL safe and trustworthy?

tashan scores MySQL on public evidence — tashan score 65.0/100, it is currently active, note: a single primary maintainer (bus-factor risk), no known advisories against the current release, its declared dependencies reach: credentials, database. Audit scope: OSV advisories, install-time scripts, build provenance and declared permission surface. We do not review source code or execute the capability.

How do I install MySQL?

In Claude Code: run `claude mcp add benborla29-mcp-server-mysql -- npx -y @benborla29/mcp-server-mysql`. In Cursor / Claude Desktop, add it to mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json.

source: benborla/mcp-server-mysql.

Security audit

Every finding is shown in full — which advisory, the version that fixes it, and the exact command run at install time. Nothing in this audit is behind a licence.

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
