+ClickHouse supports MySQL wire protocol. To enable the MySQL wire protocol, add the [mysql_port](../operations/server-configuration-parameters/settings.md#server_configuration_parameters-mysql_port) setting to your server's configuration file. For example, you could define the port in a new XML file in your `config.d` folder:
 
 ``` xml
-<mysql_port>9004</mysql_port>
+<clickhouse>
+    <mysql_port>9004</mysql_port>
+</clickhouse>
 ```
 
-Example of connecting using command-line tool `mysql`:

+
+```
+{} <Information> Application: Listening for MySQL compatibility protocol: 127.0.0.1:9004
+```
+

 ``` bash
-$ mysql --protocol tcp -u default -P 9004
+$ mysql --protocol tcp -h 127.0.0.1 -u default -P 9004 default
 ```
