Overview

What is IBM Cloud Object Storage MCP Server by CData?

This is a read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live data from IBM Cloud Object Storage. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for IBM Cloud Object Storage and exposes relational SQL models through a simple MCP interface, enabling natural language queries without SQL.

How to use IBM Cloud Object Storage MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the JAR with Maven, download and license the CData JDBC Driver, configure a connection string using the driver’s utility, create a .prp file with JDBC properties, and add the server to your Claude Desktop config file (claude_desktop_config.json). The server runs via java -jar using stdio transport.

FAQ from IBM Cloud Object Storage MCP Server by CData

Is this server read-only?

Yes. The server only supports SELECT queries. For full read, write, update, and delete capabilities, see CData’s beta MCP Server for IBM Cloud Object Storage.

What are the runtime requirements?

Java (to run the JAR) and the CData JDBC Driver for IBM Cloud Object Storage (must be downloaded and licensed separately).

How does the server connect to IBM Cloud Object Storage?

It uses a JDBC connection string configured via the CData JDBC Driver’s connection string utility. OAuth authentication is supported.

What transport does the server use?

The server uses stdio transport, so it must run on the same machine as the MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop).

Where does the data live?

Data remains in IBM Cloud Object Storage; the server queries it live and does not store a copy locally.
