Hi @gbela - Is this helpful?

How to connect MySQL WorkBench to Local Database for a Mac

Howdy! So if you want to use MySQL Workbench with the Local database, create a new MySQL Connection in Workbench. Then for connection method click “Local Socket/Pipe.” Next copy the socket file extension in your local site (database - Socket) into where it says Socket/Pipe Path in Workbench. Click OK in Workbench, and then enter the password if asked from local. Done!
