More generally, you can use an SSH tunnel to access any service, not just MySQL. This also allows you to use whatever tool you would like to access the service.

This is documented here, but if for some reason that goes away here are the steps.

1. Create your target service instance, if you don't have one already.
2. Push an app, any app. It really doesn't matter, it can be a hello world app. The app doesn't even need to use the service. We just need something to connect to.
3. Either Bind the service from #1 to the app in #2 or create a service key using the service from #1. If you bind to the app, run cf env or if you use a service key run cf service-key MY-DB EXTERNAL-ACCESS-KEY and either one will give you your service credentials.
4. Run cf ssh -L 63306:us-cdbr-iron-east-01.p-mysql.net:3306 YOUR-HOST-APP, where 63306 is the local port you'll connect to on your machine and us-cdbr-iron-east-01.p-mysql.net:3306 are the host and port from the credentials in step #3.
5. The tunnel is now up, use whatever client you'd like to connect to your service. For example: mysql -u b5136e448be920 -h localhost -p -D ad_b2fca6t49704585d -P 63306, where b5136e448be920 and ad_b2fca6t49704585d are the username and database name from step #3 and 63306 is the local port you picked from step #4.
