How to connect .net mvc to mysql server via connectionstrings?

Question

MySQL

I have this ConnectionString

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="conn" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
        connectionString="server=localhost;UserId=root;Password=;database=testapi;CharSet=utf8_general_ci;Persist Security Info=True" />
  </connectionStrings>

and I get this error localhost:52523/Api/Values ​​Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
On this method

public IEnumerable<Test> GetTests()
        {
            return context.Tests;
        }

and accordingly Json which works with the method

function GetAllTests() {

        $("#createBlock").css('display', 'block');
        $("#editBlock").css('display', 'none');
        $.ajax({
            url: '@Url.Action("Values","Api")',
            type: 'GET',
            dataType: 'json',
            success: function (data) {
                WriteResponse(data);
            }
        });
    }
