FAQ from RSS MCP Server by CData

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).

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).

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.

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.

Does the server support OAuth authentication?

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