Overview

What is SuiteCRM MCP Server by CData?

SuiteCRM MCP Server by CData is a read-only MCP server that enables Large Language Models (like Claude Desktop) to query live SuiteCRM data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for SuiteCRM, which exposes SuiteCRM as relational SQL models, so users can retrieve live information without writing SQL.

How to use SuiteCRM MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the Maven project (mvn clean install), download and license the CData JDBC Driver for SuiteCRM, and create a .prp file with your JDBC connection string. Then configure Claude Desktop by adding an mcpServers entry in claude_desktop_config.json pointing to the Java executable, the built JAR, and the .prp file. Restart Claude Desktop to start querying.

FAQ from SuiteCRM MCP Server by CData

What is the difference between this read-only server and the CData MCP Server?

This server is read-only; it only supports SELECT queries. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities, CData offers a free beta MCP Server for SuiteCRM (available separately).

What dependencies are needed?

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

How do I connect to SuiteCRM?

Use the CData JDBC Driver’s connection string utility to build a JDBC URL (for example, with OAuth). Copy that URL into a .prp file along with driver path, driver class, and a prefix for tool names.

Is the server read-only?

Yes, the run_query tool only executes SQL SELECT statements. The README explicitly marks this project as a read-only MCP server.

What transport does the server use?

The server uses stdio transport, so it must run on the same machine as the client (e.g., Claude Desktop). It cannot be accessed remotely.
