FAQ from Blackbaud FE NXT MCP Server by CData

Is this server read-only?

Yes, this version provides read-only access. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a free beta MCP server with broader functionality.

What are the system requirements?

Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build), and the CData JDBC Driver for Blackbaud FE NXT (must be installed and licensed). The driver provides the connection to Blackbaud FE NXT.

How do I configure the connection?

Create a .prp file with properties: Prefix, ServerName, ServerVersion, DriverPath (path to the JDBC JAR), DriverClass (e.g., cdata.jdbc.blackbaudnxt.BlackBaudNXTDriver), JdbcUrl (the connection string generated by the driver’s Connection String utility), and Tables (leave blank for all tables).

What tools are available?

Three tools: {servername}_get_tables (list tables), {servername}_get_columns (list columns for a table), and {servername}_run_query (execute a SELECT SQL query). The server name prefix is set in the .prp file.

Can I use this server with cloud-based LLM clients?

No. The server uses stdio transport, so it can only be used with clients that run on the same machine as the server (e.g., a local Claude Desktop installation).
