Is this server read-only?
Yes. This project builds a read-only MCP server. For full read, write, update, and delete capabilities, CData offers a free beta MCP Server for Google Sheets with a simplified setup.
@CDataSoftware
Basic information
This read-only MCP Server allows you to connect to Google Sheets data from Claude Desktop through CData JDBC Drivers. Free (beta) read/write servers available at
No standard config provided
This server doesn't expose a parseable MCP config block in its README. See the repository for install instructions.
RepositoryTool list not available yet
This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.
We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.
google-sheets-mcp-server-by-cdata is a read-only MCP server that lets AI assistants like Claude Desktop query live Google Sheets data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Google Sheets, exposing spreadsheets as relational SQL tables through a simple MCP interface.
Clone the repository, build the JAR with Maven, then install and license the CData JDBC Driver for Google Sheets. Create a .prp file with your JDBC connection string and configure Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json to point to both the JAR and the .prp file. After restarting Claude, you can ask natural language questions about your Google Sheets data.
get_tables, get_columns, and run_query toolsYes. This project builds a read-only MCP server. For full read, write, update, and delete capabilities, CData offers a free beta MCP Server for Google Sheets with a simplified setup.
You need Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build), and the CData JDBC Driver for Google Sheets installed and licensed on the same machine.
The data remains in Google Sheets. The server connects live to your spreadsheets via the JDBC driver; no data is stored locally by the MCP server.
The JDBC driver handles OAuth authentication. When you test the connection using the driver’s connection string utility, your browser opens so you can authenticate to Google Sheets.
The server uses `stdio` transport, so it can only be used with MCP clients running on the same machine as the server.
