Search the module library for mysql and you will get many modules that will let you do that including mysql, db-mysql, and easy-mysql.

npm install node-mysql

var mysql = require('mysql'),
    client = mysql.createClient({
        user: 'root',
        password: 'root',
    });

mysql.query('SELECT * FROM my_table', function(err, results, fields) {
    //have fun         
    client.end();
});

There are other libraries as well that all have slightly different APIs.
