Frequently asked questions

Is this server read-only or can it write data?

This MCP server is read-only. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a free beta MCP Server for Salesforce with simplified setup.

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

You need Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build), and the CData JDBC Driver for Salesforce installed and licensed on your machine.

How does the server communicate with clients?

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

Where does the data live? Does it store anything locally?

No local data storage. The server queries live Salesforce data directly through the JDBC driver; all data remains in Salesforce.

How do I authenticate to Salesforce?

Authentication is handled via the JDBC connection string builder. For OAuth-based sources, you will need to authenticate in your browser during connection setup.
