Is there any CLI tool to connect to MySQL server using a URL (mysql://xxx)?

I know how to use

mysql -u username -pPASSWD -h hostname -P port databasename

to connect but I need a tool that can use the RFC 1738 URL (mysql://user:passwd@hostname:port/databasename?charset=utf8) since I get this string as input for my script.

Is there such a tool? The mysql client doesn't seem to support the aforementioned URLs.

mycli provides this.

mycli mysql://username:password@host:port/database?parameter=value

It appears that the tool Sandman provides this capability.

Honestly, were this my problem to solve, I'd break out sed/awk, or better yet, I'd tap the relevant developer on the shoulder & get them to change the output string to something useful.
