Overview

What is LinkedIn Ads MCP Server by CData?

LinkedIn Ads MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets large language models (LLMs) query live LinkedIn Ads data using natural language questions. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for LinkedIn Ads, which exposes LinkedIn Ads data as relational SQL tables. The server is intended for developers who want to integrate LinkedIn Ads analytics into AI assistants like Claude Desktop.

How to use LinkedIn Ads MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for LinkedIn Ads, use the driver’s connection string utility to configure OAuth and copy the JDBC URL, then create a .prp file with connection properties. Configure Claude Desktop by adding an entry to claude_desktop_config.json pointing to the built JAR and property file. Once the client is launched, ask natural language questions about your LinkedIn Ads data without writing SQL.

FAQ from LinkedIn Ads MCP Server by CData

Is the server read-only?

Yes, this MCP server is read-only. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a free beta version of the CData MCP Server for LinkedIn Ads.

What runtime dependencies are required?

You need Java (to run the JAR), Maven (to build the project), and the CData JDBC Driver for LinkedIn Ads installed and licensed on the same machine as the client.

How is authentication handled?

Authentication is configured via the JDBC driver’s connection string utility. OAuth is initiated automatically when you test the connection; you must authenticate in your browser.

Where does the data reside?
