Create a MySQL CDC capture using flowctl with binlog replication. Use when setting up streaming from MySQL, Amazon RDS MySQL, or Aurora MySQL. Use when user says "capture MySQL", "stream from MySQL", "MySQL CDC", "binlog replication", or "connect MySQL to Estuary".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Create MySQL Capture

Create a MySQL capture using flowctl to stream data from MySQL tables into Estuary collections using Change Data Capture (CDC) via binary log (binlog) replication.

**Applies to**: source-mysql, source-amazon-rds-mysql, source-amazon-aurora-mysql, source-google-cloud-sql-mysql, source-azure-mysql

## Step 0: Load Connector Documentation

Before proceeding, fetch the official connector docs for prerequisites, config reference, and cloud-specific setup.

**Always load the main page:**
https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/capture-connectors/MySQL/

**Then load the variant subpage based on the user's MySQL type:**

| Variant | Docs URL |
|---------|----------|
| Self-hosted MySQL | Main page covers this |
| Amazon Aurora MySQL | Main page covers this |
| Amazon RDS MySQL | https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/capture-connectors/MySQL/amazon-rds-mysql/ |
| Google Cloud SQL MySQL | https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/capture-connectors/MySQL/google-cloud-sql-mysql/ |

Use WebFetch to load these pages. Together they cover:

- Prerequisites (binlog format, user permissions, binlog retention)
- Full config property reference

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add estuary/agent-skills/capture-mysql-create@sha256:53fdd1931cdc1d0e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.c6e4810, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
