Overview
What is Tally MCP Server by CData?
The Tally MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows LLMs like Claude Desktop to query live Tally data using natural language. It wraps the CData JDBC Driver for Tally, which exposes Tally data as relational SQL models, and provides a simple MCP interface so no SQL is required.
How to use Tally MCP Server by CData?
Clone the repository, build the JAR with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for Tally, and create a .prp configuration file with the driver path, driver class, and JDBC connection string. Then add the server to your client’s MCP configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) or run it directly with java -jar CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar <path>.prp. The server uses stdio transport and works only with clients on the same machine.
