Connecting Cloud SQL Admin to your Cursor IDE through the Model Context Protocol enables database administrators to manage Google Cloud SQL instances directly from their code editor with AI assistance. While the protocol offers standardized connectivity, implementing secure enterprise-grade connections requires proper infrastructure and tool configuration. This guide demonstrates how to set up Cloud SQL Admin integration with Cursor using MintMCP's enterprise gateway and GenAI Toolbox, enabling custom database management tools, automated operations, and AI-powered optimization within your development workflow.

MCP servers are spreading rapidly through engineering organizations: someone installs Linear for ticket context, someone else adds Figma for design specs, a few people connect database MCPs for quick queries, and before long there are dozens of servers running across the team. But most organizations have no idea what's actually installed. MCP servers get shared in Slack threads, copy-pasted from GitHub READMEs, distributed through Notion docs, and are often never removed. There's usually no central registry, no visibility into what data flows through these connections, and no policy governing what's allowed.
