SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Exporting live database table structures and DDL from a MySQL MCP-enabled workflow without guessing or manual crafting, ensuring accuracy and safety.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP-driven schema export: fetches actual table definitions directly from the database via MCP.
  • Structured DDL output: formats and saves the result into precise CREATE statements with comments.
  • Use Case: ideal for documentation, migrations, and design reviews across MySQL schemas.
  • Guardrails: prevents generating schemas if MCP is unavailable or data is incomplete.

Quick Start

Provide the database connection details or ensure they are available in the project config, then trigger the skill to export the current database structure via MCP.
