Overview

What is RSS MCP Server by CData?

RSS MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol server that wraps CData’s JDBC Driver for RSS, exposing RSS data as relational SQL tables. It enables LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live RSS feeds through natural language questions without requiring SQL knowledge.

How to use RSS MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the JAR with Maven (mvn clean install), download and install the CData JDBC Driver for RSS, license it using the provided Java command, configure the connection string with the driver’s utility, and create a .prp file with prefix, server name, driver path, driver class, and JDBC URL. Then add the server to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json) or run the JAR directly with java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar <your.prp>.

Frequently asked questions

1

Is this server read-only?

Yes, this project builds a read-only MCP server. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, use the CData MCP Server for RSS (beta).

2

What transport does the server use?

The server uses `stdio` transport, so it can only be used with clients running on the same machine (e.g., Claude Desktop locally).

3

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

You need Java, Maven, and the CData JDBC Driver for RSS installed and licensed (with a trial key or purchased key). The driver must be available at the path specified in the `.prp` file.

4

How do I troubleshoot connection issues?

Use the Connection String utility to test the connection and copy the resulting JDBC URL into the `.prp` file. If Claude Desktop does not see the server, fully quit and reopen the client. For further help, contact CData Support or the CData Community.

5

Does the server support OAuth authentication?

Yes, if the data source uses OAuth, the Connection String utility will prompt authentication in
