LDAP FAQs

Question 1

What is the LDAP MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The LDAP MCP Server exposes an LDAP directory via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing MCP clients to run common directory searches and full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using standard tools.

Question 2

What kind of LDAP operations can I perform with this tool?

Accepted Answer

You can search, retrieve, add, modify, and delete LDAP entries. It also provides built-in MCP resources to access the directory root DSE and arbitrary entries by Distinguished Name (DN).

Question 3

Does it support secure connections to LDAP directories?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it offers robust security features including support for StartTLS upgrades, LDAPS endpoints for encrypted connections, and configurable TLS verification to suit various security requirements.

Question 4

Can I configure the server for read-only access?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The server features an optional read-only mode that, when enabled, limits MCP clients to safe operations, preventing them from performing add, modify, or delete actions on the directory.

Question 5

What are the primary requirements to run the LDAP MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

To run the server, you need Go 1.24 or newer, access to an existing LDAP server (such as OpenLDAP or Active Directory), and an MCP client capable of communicating via the SSE transport.
