Google Cloud SQL, verified

MCP server by Google Cloud · Verified

Create and manage Cloud SQL instances, users and backups, and run SQL queries against them.

Connect to Google Cloud SQL

Google Cloud SQL needs sign-in. Connect with its own URL:

https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp

Your client opens Google Cloud’s sign-in the first time you use it. The token stays between your client and Google Cloud.

About

Connects to the Cloud SQL Admin API for MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server. You can list, create, clone and update instances, manage database users, take and restore backups, import data, and run SQL statements, including a read-only query tool. Long-running operations are tracked with a status tool.

Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp. Access uses Google OAuth 2.0 and IAM permissions on your project. SQL execution requires the instance to have Data API access enabled and, for IAM users, IAM database authentication turned on.

Read from the live server on 3 Oct 2026. Read-only, Writes and Can delete are hints the server declares; your client decides whether to ask before running a tool.

Example prompts

  • List all Cloud SQL instances in my project my-project

  • Create a backup of the orders-db instance

  • Run a read-only query to count rows in the users table on prod-pg

  • Check whether prod-pg is ready to upgrade to POSTGRES_15

Set up

Every client connects to sqladmin.googleapis.com, and Google Cloud asks you to sign in the first time. Pick yours; the page remembers your choice.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http cloud-sql https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick cloud-sql and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Google Cloud sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Google Cloud SQL and paste this URL:
https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp
  1. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Google Cloud asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
  1. Check that the URL reads https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp and click Add.
  2. Click Connect and sign in when Google Cloud asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Google Cloud to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloud-sql": {
      "url": "https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"cloud-sql","type":"http","url":"https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "cloud-sql": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloud-sql": {
      "serverUrl": "https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add cloud-sql --url https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp
codex mcp login cloud-sql

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.cloud-sql]
url = "https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http cloud-sql https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth cloud-sql to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloud-sql": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp.

FAQ

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/cloud-sql into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp, so your client talks to Google Cloud SQL directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Google Cloud SQL need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a Google Cloud account. The first time your client connects, it opens Google Cloud’s sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server’s own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is Google Cloud SQL a remote or a local server?

Remote. Google Cloud hosts it at https://sqladmin.googleapis.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There’s nothing to install.

What can Google Cloud SQL do?

It has 15 tools, including list_instances, get_instance and create_instance. You can list and inspect Cloud SQL instances, create, clone and update instances and create and update database users.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc’s robot read Google Cloud SQL’s own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can’t confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
