Is this server read-only?
Yes. The README explicitly states 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 MarkLogic.

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 MarkLogic (beta): https://www.cdata.com/download/download.aspx?sku=OMZK-V&type=beta
Add this server to your MCP-compatible client using the configuration below.

}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.
MarkLogic MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows LLMs (such as Claude Desktop) to query live data from MarkLogic using natural language, without requiring SQL. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for MarkLogic, which exposes MarkLogic data as relational SQL models.
Clone the repository, build with Maven (mvn clean install), install and license the CData JDBC Driver for MarkLogic, configure a .prp file with the JDBC connection string, then add the server to the Claude Desktop config file (claude_desktop_config.json). Restart Claude Desktop to query your MarkLogic data.
get_tables, get_columns, run_querystdio transport (local client only)Yes. The README explicitly states 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 MarkLogic.
You need Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build), and the CData JDBC Driver for MarkLogic installed and licensed on the same machine.
The data stays in your MarkLogic instance. The server queries it live over JDBC and does not store data locally.
The server uses `stdio` transport, so it can only run with clients on the same machine as the server.
Authentication is configured in the JDBC connection string. For OAuth-based connections, you must authenticate in your browser when testing the connection via the CData JDBC Driver utility.
