Get a working VillageSQL server on this machine and prove it works — choose an install path (installer, Docker, or source), start the server, connect, load a bundled extension, and call one of its functions. Also covers reconnecting to a server that is already running. VillageSQL is a drop-in replacement for MySQL that adds extensions. Use when a task needs a local MySQL server for development or tests, starts a new project on MySQL, ports a PostgreSQL application to MySQL, or needs something…

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

# VillageSQL Server Install and Verify

Do not skip to installing. A server is often already running, and a second
one on the same port will fail to start.

## Arguments

If invoked as `/vsql-install-server <path>` where `<path>` is `installer`,
`docker`, or `source`, skip Step 1 and use that path.

## Conventions used below

Commands are written against two shell variables so they stay correct when
you change a name. Set them once and use them verbatim afterwards.

```bash
VSQL_CONTAINER=vsql        # Docker path only; any name you like
VSQL_SOCKET=/tmp/mysql.sock  # host paths only; replace with the real socket
```

Every `docker` command below uses `"$VSQL_CONTAINER"`. If you name the
container something else, nothing needs re-editing.

Decide the client invocation once, too. It has two parts: where the client
binary is, and whether a password is needed.

An installer build does **not** put the client on `PATH`, so a bare `mysql`
gives `mysql: command not found`. Take the path from `credentials.txt`:

```bash
VSQL_CLIENT="$HOME/.villagesql/prebuilt/bin/mysql"  # installer, prebuilt
VSQL_CLIENT="$HOME/.villagesql/build/bin/mysql"     # installer, source build
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add villagesql/villagesql-skills/vsql-install-server@sha256:8a33474596396c06

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.f0d7af4, 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.
