Frequently asked questions

Is this MCP server read-only?

Yes, this project builds a local, read-only MCP server. For full CRUD capabilities, check out the CData MCP Server for Cosmos DB.

What are the runtime requirements?

You need Java, Maven, and the CData JDBC Driver for Cosmos DB installed and licensed.

How is data accessed?

The server uses a local JDBC connection, so data never leaves your machine. It communicates with the client via `stdio`.

What transport does the server use?

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

How do I authenticate to Cosmos DB?

Authentication is handled by the CData JDBC Driver via its connection string utility (e.g., OAuth flows). You configure the connection string in the `.prp` file.
