Overview

What is Azure Data Lake Storage MCP Server by CData?

A read-only MCP server that lets LLMs like Claude Desktop query live Azure Data Lake Storage data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Azure Data Lake Storage, which exposes the storage as relational SQL models.

How to use Azure Data Lake Storage MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repo, build with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for Azure Data Lake Storage, configure a connection string, create a .prp file with connection details, and add the server to Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json. Run with java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar <path-to>.prp. The server uses stdio transport and must run on the same machine as the client.

Frequently asked questions

1

Is this server read-only?

Yes, the server explicitly states it is read-only. For full create, read, update, delete and action capabilities, use the free CData MCP Server for Azure Data Lake Storage (beta) linked in the README.

2

What runtime dependencies are required?

Java and the CData JDBC Driver for Azure Data Lake Storage must be installed and licensed. The driver JAR file path is specified in the `.prp` configuration.

3

What transport protocol does the server use?

It uses `stdio` transport, so the server must be run on the same machine as the MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop).

4

Can I perform write or update operations?

No, this server only supports SELECT queries via the `run_query` tool. No INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or custom actions are available.

5

How do I authenticate to Azure Data Lake Storage?

The README instructs you to use the CData JDBC Driver’s connection string utility. If the data source uses OAuth, you will authenticate in your browser during the connection test.
