MySQL typically uses port 3306 for client connections. However, it's possible that the MySQL server is configured to listen on a different port. You can check the MySQL configuration file (my.cnf or my.ini) to find the `port` setting. If the port is different from 3306, you'll need to specify the port number in your MySQL Workbench connection settings.
