FAQ from MarkLogic MCP Server by CData

Is this server read-only?

Yes. The README explicitly states this project builds a read-only MCP server. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a separate beta MCP Server for MarkLogic.

What are the runtime dependencies?

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

Where does the data live?

The data stays in your MarkLogic instance. The server queries it live over JDBC and does not store data locally.

What transport does the server use?

The server uses stdio transport, so it can only run with clients on the same machine as the server.

How is authentication handled?

Authentication is configured in the JDBC connection string. For OAuth-based connections, you must authenticate in your browser when testing the connection via the CData JDBC Driver utility.
