How to use Office 365 MCP Server by CData?
Clone the repository, build with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for Office 365, configure a connection string using the driver’s utility, create a .prp file with driver path and JDBC URL, then add the server to your client’s config (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json). Run the server with java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar PATH/TO/office-365.prp. The server uses stdio transport, so it must run on the same machine as the client.
