FAQ from Apache Hadoop Hive MCP Server by CData

Is this server read-only?

Yes. The project explicitly builds a read-only MCP server. For full CRUD capabilities, CData offers a separate beta MCP Server.

What do I need to run it?

You need Java, Maven, and the CData JDBC Driver for Apache Hadoop Hive (with a license or trial key).

How do I configure authentication?

Authentication is handled through the JDBC connection string. If the data source uses OAuth, the Connection String utility will prompt for browser-based authentication.

What transport does the server use?

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

Where can I get help?

Contact the CData Support Team or join the CData Community for troubleshooting and feedback.
