Overview

What is Avro MCP Server by CData?

Avro MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables large language models (LLMs) such as Claude Desktop to query live Avro data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Avro, which exposes Avro files as relational SQL models, so no SQL knowledge is required from the user.

How to use Avro MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build with Maven (mvn clean install), then install and license the CData JDBC Driver for Avro. Create a .prp property file with your connection settings (including DriverPath, DriverClass, and JdbcUrl). Configure Claude Desktop by adding the server to claude_desktop_config.json or run the server standalone with java -jar PATH/TO/CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar PATH/TO/avro.prp. The server exposes tools for listing tables, columns, and executing SQL SELECT queries.

Frequently asked questions

1

What transport does the server use?

The server uses `stdio` transport, so it can only be used with clients that run on the same machine as the server.

2

Is the server read-only?

Yes, this project builds a read‑only MCP server. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a separate beta MCP Server for Avro.

3

What dependencies are required?

Java, Maven, and the CData JDBC Driver for Avro (which must be downloaded, installed, and licensed separately).

4

How do I configure the connection?

Create a `.prp` file with properties such as `Prefix`, `ServerName`, `DriverPath`, `DriverClass`, and `JdbcUrl`. Use the JDBC connection string utility to test and obtain the correct `JdbcUrl`.

5

Where can I get support?

Contact the CData Support Team for connection issues. For MCP server feedback, join the CData Community.
