Overview

What is Smartsheet MCP Server by CData?

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.

How to use Smartsheet MCP Server by CData?

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.

Key features of Smartsheet MCP Server by CData

  • Read-only access to live Smartsheet data
  • Natural language querying via LLMs (e.g., Claude Desktop)
  • Exposes Smartsheet tables and columns as relational SQL models
  • Built-in tools: get_tables, get_columns, run_query
  • Uses CData JDBC Driver for Smartsheet for connectivity
  • MIT licensed and open source

Use cases of Smartsheet MCP Server by CData

  • Query live Smartsheet data from an LLM without writing SQL
  • Ask business questions about project status, account correlations, or ticket counts
  • Integrate Smartsheet data into AI-powered chatbots or assistants
  • Read Smartsheet data for reporting or analysis within a conversation

Frequently asked questions

1

Is Smartsheet MCP Server by CData read-only?

Yes, this project builds a read-only MCP server. For full CRUD and action capabilities, CData offers a separate beta MCP Server for Smartsheet.

2

What are the runtime requirements?

You need Java installed (to run the JAR) and the CData JDBC Driver for Smartsheet installed and licensed on the same machine.

3

How does the server connect to Smartsheet?

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.

4

What transport does the server use?

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

5

Can I use this server with other MCP clients besides Claude Desktop?

The README focuses on Claude Desktop, but the MCP interface is generic. Configuration for other clients is not described.
