Overview

What is Amazon Athena MCP Server by CData?

This read-only MCP server allows LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live Amazon Athena data using natural language, no SQL required. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Amazon Athena, exposing the data as relational SQL models through a simple MCP interface.

How to use Amazon Athena MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository and build with mvn clean install. Download and license the CData JDBC Driver for Amazon Athena. Use the driver’s Connection String utility to generate a JDBC URL, then create a .prp file with properties like Prefix, ServerName, DriverPath, and JdbcUrl. Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json using the generated jar and .prp file. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop for the server to appear.

Key features of Amazon Athena MCP Server by CData

  • Read-only MCP server for Amazon Athena data.
  • Uses stdio transport (client and server must run on same machine).
  • Exposes tools: get_tables, get_columns, and run_query (SQL SELECT).
  • Requires CData JDBC Driver for Amazon Athena (licensed separately).
  • Built with Java and Maven, outputs a single JAR file.
  • Licensed under MIT.

Use cases of Amazon Athena MCP Server by CData

  • Ask natural‑language questions about Amazon Athena data (e.g., “How many open tickets do I have?”).
  • Retrieve live table and column metadata from connected Athena sources.
  • Execute custom SQL SELECT queries through an LLM interface.
  • Integrate Amazon Athena insights directly into Claude Desktop conversations.

Frequently asked questions

1

What does this server do?

It allows LLMs to query Amazon Athena data in real time using natural language, without writing SQL. The server is read‑only; for full CRUD capabilities, use CData’s beta MCP Server for Amazon Athena.

2

What are the prerequisites?

Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build), the CData JDBC Driver for Amazon Athena, and a valid license for that driver (a trial is available). The driver must be installed and licensed on the same machine as the MCP server.

3

How do I connect to Amazon Athena?

Use the driver’s Connection String utility to build a JDBC URL (e.g., `jdbc:amazonathena:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH`) and save it in a `.prp` file. Configure the server in Claude Desktop using the path to the JAR and that `.prp` file.

4

Why is the server not showing up in Claude Desktop?

Ensure you have fully quit Claude Desktop (use Task Manager on Windows, Activity Monitor on Mac) and reopened it. Also verify that the `claude_desktop_config.json` is in the correct directory and contains the proper paths.

5

Is data stored or cached?

No. The server queries Amazon Athena live via the JDBC driver each time a tool is invoked. No data is persisted by the server.
