The MySQL instance provisioned by MediaWiki-Vagrant is inside the
Vagrant managed VM and not on the host computer directly. You need to
enter the VM to interact with the database. The default VM user should
already have a ~/.my.cnf provisioned by Puppet that gives access to
the databases.

  me at laptop:~$ ssh my-labs-instance
  me at my-labs-instance:~$ cd /srv/mediawiki-vagrant
  me at my-labs-instance:/srv/mediawiki-vagrant$ vagrant ssh
  vagrant at mediawiki-vagrant:~$ mysql
