Overview

What is Facebook MCP Server by CData?

Facebook MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live Facebook data. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Facebook, which exposes Facebook data as relational SQL models, so users can retrieve live information using natural language without writing SQL.

How to use Facebook MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the JAR with mvn clean install, download and install the CData JDBC Driver for Facebook, license it, and configure a connection string using the driver’s utility. Create a .prp file with JDBC details (prefix, driver path, JDBC URL, etc.), then add the server to Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json. Restart the client to see the server. The server uses stdio transport and must run on the same machine as the client.

FAQ from Facebook MCP Server by CData

Is this server read‑only?

Yes. This MCP server provides only read capabilities. For full read, write, update, delete, and action support, CData offers a free beta version of their MCP Server for Facebook.

What are the runtime requirements?

Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build), and a licensed copy of the CData JDBC Driver for Facebook installed on the same machine.

Where does the data live?

Data is queried live from Facebook through the JDBC driver. No local copy of the data is stored by the server.

What transport or authentication is used?

The server communicates over stdio, so it must run on the same host as the client. Authentication uses OAuth, configured through the JDBC connection string builder.

Can I run the server without Claude Desktop?

Yes. Run java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar /path/to/facebook.prp on its own, but note that stdio transport limits it to local‑only clients.
