Overview

What is Quickbase MCP Server by CData?

Quickbase MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live Quickbase data. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Quickbase, exposing Quickbase as relational SQL models so users can ask natural language questions without writing SQL.

How to use Quickbase MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build with Maven (mvn clean install), then download and install the CData JDBC Driver for Quickbase. License the driver, generate a connection string, and create a .prp file with the JDBC URL, driver path, and other properties. Configure Claude Desktop by adding the server to claude_desktop_config.json with the path to Java and the JAR file. Restart the client to start querying.

Frequently asked questions

What data can I access with this server?

You can query any Quickbase data exposed as tables by the CData JDBC Driver. Tools allow listing tables, viewing columns, and running SELECT queries.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Java (to run the JAR), the CData JDBC Driver for Quickbase (installed and licensed), and an LLM client like Claude Desktop that supports MCP.

How is authentication handled?

Authentication is configured through the JDBC connection string (e.g., OAuth via `InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH`). The connection string is built using the driver’s utility and stored in the `.prp` file.

What transport does the server use?

The server uses `stdio` transport, so it must run on the same machine as the client. It cannot be accessed over a network.
