Frequently asked questions

Is this server read-only?

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

What are the runtime requirements?

You need Java, Maven (to build), and the CData JDBC Driver for Databricks (trial or licensed). The server runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

How does the server connect to Databricks?

It uses a JDBC connection string configured in a `.prp` file. The CData driver handles OAuth authentication when needed.

What transport protocol does it use?

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

Does it support write, update, or delete operations?

No. Only read operations (via `get_tables`, `get_columns`, and `run_query` for SELECT queries) are provided in this version.
