Overview

What is Couchbase MCP Server by CData?

The Couchbase MCP Server by CData is a read-only MCP server that lets LLMs like Claude Desktop query live Couchbase data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase, which exposes Couchbase as relational SQL models, so no SQL knowledge is required from the user.

How to use Couchbase MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the JAR with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase, and create a .prp file with your JDBC connection string. Then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to invoke the JAR with java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar <path to .prp>. The server communicates over stdio.

Key features of Couchbase MCP Server by CData

  • Read-only access to live Couchbase data.
  • Natural language query support via LLM clients.
  • Built on the CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase.
  • Exposes tables, columns, and SQL SELECT queries as MCP tools.
  • Supports any MCP client that runs on the same machine.

Use cases of Couchbase MCP Server by CData

  • Ask an LLM for live business metrics from Couchbase without writing SQL.
  • Integrate Couchbase data into Claude Desktop for conversational analytics.
  • Quickly explore Couchbase schemas and run ad‑hoc queries through an AI interface.
  • Enable non‑technical users to retrieve Couchbase data via natural language.

FAQ from Couchbase MCP Server by CData

Is this server read‑only?

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

What are the runtime dependencies?

Java (to run the JAR) and the CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase, which must be downloaded, installed, and licensed separately.

Where does the data live?

Data remains in your Couchbase instance. The server queries it live over the JDBC connection; no data is copied or stored locally.

What transport does this server use?

The server uses stdio, so it can only be used with MCP clients that run on the same machine as the server.

How do I authenticate to Couchbase?

Authentication is configured in the JDBC connection string (e.g., OAuth, credentials). The README shows using the CData Connection String utility to generate the URL, then placing it in the .prp file.
