概要

What is CSV Files MCP Server by CData?

A read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets LLMs like Claude Desktop query live CSV files using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for CSV Files, exposing local CSV data as relational SQL tables without requiring SQL knowledge from the user.

How to use CSV Files MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the JAR with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for CSV Files, and create a .prp configuration file with the JDBC connection string. Then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to launch the server with java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar <path-to>.prp. The server uses the stdio transport and runs locally.
