Connecting to CData Connect Cloud

In the Settings screen, click Connectors.
In the top-right corner, set your button toggle to Organization connectors.
Click Add custom connector at the bottom of the page.
Enter a name for the connector (such as Connect Cloud MCP).
In the Remote MCP server URL field, enter https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp.
Click Add to save the connector. The Connect Cloud MCP connector appears under Connectors.
Click Connect to the right of the connector and enter your CData Connect Cloud user name and password. You have now connected Claude to CData Connect Cloud.
Click the three dots after Connected and select Tools and settings.
Review the provided tools and enable or disable specific tools made available by the server. In addition, determine whether you want unsupervised access to the tools, or whether you want Claude to ask your permission.
Click Done when finished with your settings.

You can now start exploring your data with natural language prompts. Claude outlines the steps it uses to retrieve data from the source in CData Connect Cloud. Refer to CData’s prompt library for prompt ideas.
