Important

This is a PLUGIN for MySQL Workbench, not a separate Workbench. It does not install MySQL Workbench or a MySQL server. Install MySQL Workbench 26 first (free, from Oracle). Modern MySQL Workbench then opens your own Workbench with the notebook, AI, charts and exports added.

A free plugin by KGP Talkie that adds a Jupyter-style notebook, AI, result charts, exports and a VS Code-style workspace to your own MySQL Workbench 26.

For MySQL Workbench 26.10.0. Versions now follow MySQL Workbench: the first three numbers (26.10.0) are the Workbench version this release is made and tested for, the last number is our release for it. This is a bug-fix release for 26.10.0.1.

Install

  1. Download Modern-MySQL-Workbench-Setup.exe below.
  2. Run it. It installs for your user only (no admin rights) in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Modern MySQL Workbench and adds a Modern MySQL Workbench shortcut to the Desktop and the Start menu.
  3. Open Modern MySQL Workbench.

Needs Windows 10 or 11 and MySQL Workbench 26 (tested with 26.10.0). MySQL Workbench itself is not changed: plain Workbench still opens from its own shortcut. Close plain Workbench before you open Modern MySQL Workbench.

Already have an older version? Run the new installer; it updates in place.

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn. Click More info, then Run anyway.

To remove it: Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Modern MySQL Workbench > Uninstall.

New in 26.10.0.2

  • No more "Failed to remove temporary directory" warning when you open Modern MySQL Workbench. The launcher starts the plugin server from the same exe, and the server used to run from the launcher's own temp folder, so the launcher could not delete it when it closed. Each program the exe starts now gets its own folder. You can delete any leftover _MEI... folders in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp once Modern MySQL Workbench is closed.

In 26.10.0.1

  • Version numbers that match MySQL Workbench.
  • New shortcut icon: your own MySQL Workbench icon with a small notebook badge in the corner, made on your PC when you install.
  • Version guard: if a Workbench update changes the parts the plugin builds on, the plugin turns itself off cleanly and asks you to update it.

Features

Notebook cells, Run All, result search, filters, sort, copy and save, charts, {{variables}}, safety confirms, Production and Read-only tags, query timeout, MySQL keywords in capitals as you type, exports (HTML, PDF, Markdown, .sqlnb, .sql), a sample notebook, and AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible API).

About AI answers

The plugin does not write the SQL; the model you pick in Configure AI does. Use a cloud model, or a local model of 27b to 32b parameters. Small models (4b and below) often write wrong SQL: that is the model, not the plugin. Free API options (OpenRouter, Google Gemini, Groq, NVIDIA NIM) are in the README under "Choosing an AI model".
