Is this server read-only?
Yes. The project explicitly builds a read-only MCP server. For full CRUD capabilities, CData offers a separate beta MCP Server.

Basic information
This project builds a read-only MCP server. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities and a simplified setup, check out our free [CData MCP Server for Apache Hadoop Hive (beta)](https://www.cdata.com/download/download.aspx?sku=FIZK-V&type=beta).
Add this server to your MCP-compatible client using the configuration below.
{
"mcpServers": {
"{classname_dash}": {
"command": "PATH\\TO\\java.exe",
"args": [
"-jar",
"PATH\\TO\\CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar",
"PATH\\TO\\apache-hadoop-hive.prp"
]
}
}
}Tool list not available yet
This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.
We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.
This read-only MCP server allows LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live data from Apache Hadoop Hive using the CData JDBC Driver for Apache Hadoop Hive. It wraps the driver and exposes Hive data through a simple MCP interface so users can ask natural language questions without writing SQL.
Clone the repository, build it with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver, generate a JDBC connection string, and create a .prp file with your connection details. Then add the server to your client’s mcpServers configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) and restart the client.
get_tables, get_columns, and run_query toolsstdio transport – same machine as client requiredYes. The project explicitly builds a read-only MCP server. For full CRUD capabilities, CData offers a separate beta MCP Server.
You need Java, Maven, and the CData JDBC Driver for Apache Hadoop Hive (with a license or trial key).
Authentication is handled through the JDBC connection string. If the data source uses OAuth, the Connection String utility will prompt for browser-based authentication.
The server uses `stdio` transport, so it can only be used with clients running on the same machine.
