Overview

What is IBM Cloud Object Storage MCP Server by CData?

This is a read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live data from IBM Cloud Object Storage. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for IBM Cloud Object Storage and exposes relational SQL models through a simple MCP interface, enabling natural language queries without SQL.

How to use IBM Cloud Object Storage MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build the JAR with Maven, download and license the CData JDBC Driver, configure a connection string using the driver’s utility, create a .prp file with JDBC properties, and add the server to your Claude Desktop config file (claude_desktop_config.json). The server runs via java -jar using stdio transport.
