SqlException when connecting to MySQL server

I am trying to connect to a local MySQL server.

But I keep getting the following error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

I am on MacOS and trying to connect to this server through the MSSQL extension in VSCODE.
