FAQ from Email MCP Server by CData

Is this server read-only?

Yes, this MCP server is read-only. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, use the CData MCP Server for Email (available at the linked page).

What are the system requirements?

You need Java (JDK), Maven to build the JAR, and the CData JDBC Driver for Email installed and licensed on the same machine.

Where does the email data actually live?

The server does not store data. It connects to your email data source in real time using the JDBC driver’s connection string you configure in the .prp file.

Can I call the tools manually?

Yes, the server exposes three tools: {prefix}_get_tables, {prefix}_get_columns, and {prefix}_run_query. You can send JSON-RPC 2.0 requests directly if not using an AI client.

Does this server support authentication?

Yes. OAuth and other authentication methods are handled in the JDBC connection string. The README shows how to use the Connection String utility to authenticate (e.g., via browser for OAuth).
