Overview
What is Greenplum MCP Server by CData?
A read-only MCP server that allows LLMs (like Claude Desktop) to query live Greenplum data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Greenplum, exposing Greenplum as relational SQL models through a simple MCP interface — no manual SQL required.
How to use Greenplum MCP Server by CData?
Clone the repository, build with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver, create a .prp file with your JDBC connection details, then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to point to the built JAR and .prp file. The server runs via java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar <path-to>.prp.

FAQ from Greenplum MCP Server by CData
What is the difference between this server and the CData MCP Server for Greenplum (beta)?
This server is read-only. The beta version supports full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities with a simplified setup.
What are the runtime requirements?
You need Java, Maven, and the CData JDBC Driver for Greenplum installed and licensed.
Where does the data live?
The server queries live Greenplum data directly; it does not store or cache data.
What transport does the server use?
It uses stdio transport, so it can only be used with clients running on the same machine.
How do I handle authentication?
The JDBC driver may require OAuth authentication (e.g., for OAuth-based sources). Use the connection string utility to authenticate and test the connection. A trial or license key is needed to use the driver.
