概覽

CData的電子郵件模型上下文協議（MCP）伺服器

什麼

CData的電子郵件模型上下文協議（MCP）伺服器是一個專門的伺服器，旨在提供對電子郵件數據的只讀訪問。它利用CData JDBC驅動程序連接到電子郵件服務，並將其作為關聯SQL模型公開。這使得像Claude Desktop這樣的大型語言模型（LLMs）能夠使用自然語言查詢實時電子郵件數據，消除了對SQL查詢的需求。

特點

只讀訪問：MCP伺服器允許用戶檢索電子郵件數據，而無法修改它，確保數據完整性。
自然語言查詢：用戶可以用簡單的英語提問，使與電子郵件數據的互動更加容易。
與LLMs的集成：與像Claude Desktop這樣的AI客戶端無縫集成，增強數據檢索能力。
簡化設置：該伺服器設計為易於安裝和配置，使不同技術專業知識的用戶都能輕鬆使用。

如何

要設置CData電子郵件MCP伺服器，請按照以下步驟操作：

克隆倉庫：

git clone https://github.com/cdatasoftware/email-mcp-server-by-cdata.git
cd email-mcp-server-by-cdata

構建伺服器：
```
mvn clean install
```
這將創建JAR文件：CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar。
下載並安裝CData JDBC驅動程序：訪問 CData JDBC Driver for Email 下載驅動程序。
授權JDBC驅動程序：進入安裝目錄中的lib文件夾並運行授權命令。
配置您的連接：創建一個.prp文件以設置您的JDBC連接，並包含必要的屬性。
使用Claude Desktop的伺服器：為Claude Desktop創建一個配置文件，以添加MCP伺服器。
運行伺服器：執行命令以運行MCP伺服器。

常見問題

問：CData電子郵件MCP伺服器的目的是什么？

答：該伺服器允許用戶使用自然語言查詢實時電子郵件數據，使得訪問和分析電子郵件信息變得更加容易，而無需SQL知識。

問：我可以使用這個伺服器修改電子郵件數據嗎？

答：不可以，該伺服器設計為只讀訪問，以確保數據完整性。

問：我如何將MCP伺服器與Claude Desktop集成？

答：您需要為Claude Desktop創建一個配置文件，指定MCP伺服器設置，包括JAR文件的路徑和屬性文件。

問：我可以使用MCP伺服器執行哪些類型的查詢？

答：您可以詢問有關電子郵件數據的問題，例如檢索特定信息或分析趨勢，所有這些都可以用自然語言進行。

CData's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Email

:heavy_exclamation_mark: This project builds a read-only MCP server. For full read, write, update, delete, and action capabilities and a simplified setup, check out our free CData MCP Server for Email (beta).

Purpose

We created this read-only MCP Server to allow LLMs (like Claude Desktop) to query live data Email supported by the CData JDBC Driver for Email.

CData JDBC Driver connects to Email by exposing them as relational SQL models.

This server wraps that driver and makes Email data available through a simple MCP interface, so LLMs can retrieve live information by asking natural language questions — no SQL required.

Setup Guide

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/cdatasoftware/email-mcp-server-by-cdata.git
cd email-mcp-server-by-cdata

Build the server:
```
mvn clean install
```
This creates the JAR file: CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar
Download and install the CData JDBC Driver for {source}: https://www.cdata.com/drivers/email/download/jdbc
License the CData JDBC Driver:
- Navigate to the lib folder in the installation directory, typically:
  - (Windows) C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Email\
  - (Mac/Linux) /Applications/CData JDBC Driver for Email/
- Run the command java -jar cdata.jdbc.email.jar --license
- Enter your name, email, and "TRIAL" (or your license key).
Configure your connection to the data source (Salesforce as an example):
- Run the command java -jar cdata.jdbc.email.jar to open the Connection String utility.
  <img src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a5b5237b-79c1-472c-8c2f-3f9eb1ac9627" title="CData JDBC Driver Connectiong String utility." width=384px />
- Configure the connection string and click "Test Connection"
  
  Note: If the data sources uses OAuth, you will need to authenticate in your browser.
- Once successful, copy the connection string for use later.
Create a .prp file for your JDBC connection (e.g. email.prp) using the following properties and format:
- Prefix - a prefix to be used for the tools exposed
- ServerName - a name for your server
- ServerVersion - a version for your server
- DriverPath - the full path to the JAR file for your JDBC driver
- DriverClass - the name of the JDBC Driver Class (e.g. cdata.jdbc.email.EmailDriver)
- JdbcUrl - the JDBC connection string to use with the CData JDBC Driver to connect to your data (copied from above)
- Tables - leave blank to access all data, otherwise you can explicitly declare the tables you wish to create access for
```
Prefix=email
ServerName=CDataEmail
ServerVersion=1.0
DriverPath=PATH\TO\cdata.jdbc.email.jar
DriverClass=cdata.jdbc.email.EmailDriver
JdbcUrl=jdbc:email:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;
Tables=
```

Using the Server with Claude Desktop

Create the config file for Claude Desktop ( claude_desktop_config.json) to add the new MCP server, using the format below. If the file already exists, add the entry to the mcpServers in the config file.

Windows

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "{classname_dash}": {
      "command": "PATH\\TO\\java.exe",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "PATH\\TO\\CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar",
        "PATH\\TO\\email.prp"
      ]
    },
    ...
  }
}

Linux/Mac

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "{classname_dash}": {
      "command": "/PATH/TO/java",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "/PATH/TO/CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar",
        "/PATH/TO/email.prp"
      ]
    },
    ...
  }
}

If needed, copy the config file to the appropriate directory (Claude Desktop as the example). Windows

cp C:\PATH\TO\claude_desktop_config.json %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Linux/Mac

cp /PATH/TO/claude_desktop_config.json /Users/{user}/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json'

Run or refresh your client (Claude Desktop).

Note: You may need to fully exit or quit your Claude Desktop client and re-open it for the MCP Servers to appear.

Running the Server

Run the follow the command to run the MCP Server on its own

java -jar /PATH/TO/CDataMCP-jar-with-dependencies.jar /PATH/TO/Salesforce.prp

Note: The server uses stdio so can only be used with clients that run on the same machine as the server.

Usage Details

Once the MCP Server is configured, the AI client will be able to use the built-in tools to read, write, update, and delete the underlying data. In general, you do not need to call the tools explicitly. Simply ask the client to answer questions about the underlying data system. For example:

"What is the correlation between my closed won opportunities and the account industry?"
"How many open tickets do I have in the SUPPORT project?"
"Can you tell me what calendar events I have today?"

The list of tools available and their descriptions follow:

Tools & Descriptions

In the definitions below, {servername} refers to the name of the MCP Server in the config file (e.g. {classname_dash} above).

{servername}_get_tables - Retrieves a list of tables available in the data source. Use the {servername}_get_columns tool to list available columns on a table. The output of the tool will be returned in CSV format, with the first line containing column headers.
{servername}_get_columns - Retrieves a list of columns for a table. Use the {servername}_get_tables tool to get a list of available tables. The output of the tool will be returned in CSV format, with the first line containing column headers.
{servername}_run_query - Execute a SQL SELECT query

JSON-RPC Request Examples

If you are scripting out the requests sent to the MCP Server instead of using an AI Client (e.g. Claude), then you can refer to the JSON payload examples below – following the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification - when calling the available tools.

source_get_tables

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
        "name": "source_get_tables",
        "arguments": {}
    }
}

source_get_columns

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 2,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
        "name": "source_get_columns",
        "arguments": {
            "table":  "Account"
        }
    }
}

source_run_query

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 3,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
        "name": "source_run_query",
        "arguments": {
            "sql":  "SELECT * FROM [Account] WHERE [IsDeleted] = true"
        }
    }
}

Troubleshooting

If you cannot see your CData MCP Server in Claude Desktop, be sure that you have fully quit Claude Desktop (Windows: use the Task Manager, Mac: use the Activity Monitor)
If Claude Desktop is unable to retrieve data, be sure that you have configured your connection properly. Use the Connection String builder to create the connection string (see above) and copy the connection string into the property (.prp) file.
If you are having trouble connecting to your data source, contact the CData Support Team.
If you are having trouble using the MCP server, or have any other feedback, join the CData Community.
