Smartsheet MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows LLMs (such as Claude Desktop) to query live Smartsheet data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Smartsheet and exposes Smartsheet data as relational SQL tables through a simple MCP interface, requiring no SQL from the user.
Clone the repository, build the JAR with mvn clean install, download and install the CData JDBC Driver for Smartsheet, license the driver, create a connection string using the driver’s utility, then create a .prp file with connection properties. Finally, configure Claude Desktop by adding the server entry in claude_desktop_config.json with the path to Java and the JAR and .prp files. The server uses stdio transport and must run on the same machine as the client.

You need Java installed (to run the JAR) and the CData JDBC Driver for Smartsheet installed and licensed on the same machine.
It uses a JDBC connection string configured in a `.prp` file, which can be generated using the CData JDBC Driver’s Connection String utility. OAuth authentication may require a browser login.
The server uses `stdio` transport, so it can only be used with clients that run on the same machine as the server.
The README focuses on Claude Desktop, but the MCP interface is generic. Configuration for other clients is not described.
