Overview

What is LDAP MCP Server by CData?

LDAP MCP Server by CData is a read-only MCP server that allows LLMs (such as Claude Desktop) to query live LDAP data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for LDAP, which exposes LDAP directories as relational SQL models, enabling AI clients to retrieve information without writing SQL.

How to use LDAP MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the server with mvn clean install, install and license the CData JDBC Driver for LDAP, then configure a .prp file with JDBC connection details. Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration by editing claude_desktop_config.json and run the client. The server communicates via stdio and must run on the same machine as the client.

Frequently asked questions

1

Is this server read-only?

Yes, this server only supports read operations. For full read, write, update, and delete capabilities, CData offers a separate MCP Server for LDAP (beta).

2

What are the dependencies to run this server?

You need Java, Maven, and the CData JDBC Driver for LDAP installed and licensed (trial license available).

3

How does the server connect to LDAP?

It uses the CData JDBC Driver for LDAP configured via a `.prp` file that includes the driver path, driver class, and JDBC connection string.

4

What transport protocol does the server use?

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

5

How do I configure the server for Claude Desktop?

Create a `.prp` file with properties (Prefix, ServerName, DriverPath, DriverClass, JdbcUrl), then add an entry to `claude_desktop_config.json` pointing to the JAR and `.prp` file.
