Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition is AWS’s high-performance managed MySQL. QueryBear connects over the standard MySQL protocol, giving your AI clients safe, read-only access through QueryBear’s security gateway.

​
Get your Aurora MySQL connection details

Aurora clusters expose two endpoints:
  • Writer (cluster) endpoint — the primary instance.
  • Reader endpoint — load-balances across replicas. Use this for QueryBear.
Find both in the RDS console under your Aurora cluster’s Connectivity & security tab. The MySQL port is 3306.

​
Allow QueryBear’s IP

  1. Get QueryBear’s egress IP from the dashboard under Connections → Network.
  2. Add an inbound rule to the cluster’s security group for that IP on port 3306.
  3. Ensure the cluster is publicly accessible or reachable via VPC peering / PrivateLink.

​
Create a read-only user

Use the MySQL read-only user SQL. Run it against the writer endpoint, then connect QueryBear to the reader endpoint.

​
Add the connection to QueryBear

In the QueryBear dashboard → Connections → New connection → MySQL. Use the reader endpoint, port 3306, your querybear user, and SSL mode require.

​
Aurora MySQL-specific notes

  • Reader endpoint for reads: Keeps AI query load off the writer.
  • TLS: Aurora supports the Amazon RDS CA bundle; QueryBear connects over TLS.
  • Multi-statement queries blocked at the parser.
