Couchbase by CData FAQs

Question 1

What does Couchbase by CData do?

Accepted Answer

It allows Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude Desktop to query live Couchbase data using natural language. It acts as a bridge between Couchbase and the LLM, eliminating the need to write SQL queries.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

It uses CData's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which exposes Couchbase data as a relational SQL model accessible through a read-only interface. The CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase handles the data connectivity.

Question 3

What are the benefits of using this tool?

Accepted Answer

You can easily query your Couchbase data using natural language prompts within LLMs, gaining insights without needing SQL expertise. This enables faster data analysis and integration with AI-powered applications.

Question 4

What is needed to set up the Couchbase MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

You need to download the CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase, configure a connection to your Couchbase database, and set up a `.prp` file containing the JDBC connection details, and configure your LLM to include the newly created MCP Server.

Question 5

Is this tool read-only?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this particular MCP server is read-only. If you require full read, write, update, and delete capabilities, CData offers a separate, fully-featured MCP Server for Couchbase (beta).
