【MCP Server】Sybase × Claude Desktop 連携ガイド | AI でデータを徹底活用
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging, open-source standard for connecting LLMs with external services and data sources. Through MCP Servers, AI clients can perform actions like opening Jira tickets, posting Slack messages, committing GitHub branches and more. With CData MCP Servers, these capabilities expand exponentially.
In this article, we guide the reader through installing the CData MCP Server for Sybase, configuring the connection to Sybase, and asking questions of the data in Claude Desktop.
Prerequisites
You need to download Claude Desktop (download) and create an account before continuing.
Overview
Here's a quick overview of the steps:
- Download and install the CData MCP Server for Sybase
- Configure the connection to Sybase
- Ask questions about the data in Claude Desktop
Step 1: Download and install the CData MCP Server
- To begin, navigate to https://www.cdata.com/solutions/mcp/connectors and download the CData MCP Server for Sybase.
- Find and double-click the installer to begin the installation.
- Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
When the installation is complete, you are ready to configure your MCP Server by connecting to Sybase.
Step 2: Configure the connection to Sybase
- After installation, the CData MCP Server configuration wizard should open automatically.
NOTE: If the wizard does not open automatically, search for "CData MCP Server" in the Windows search bar and double-click the application.

- Click the dropdown menu in MCP Configuration > Configuration Name and select "
"
- Name the configuration (e.g. "cdatasybase") and click "OK."
NOTE: This name is used as the name for the MCP server and as the prefix for all of the MCP Server's tools.
Connecting to Sybase
Sybase は、Basic 認証、Kerberos 認証、LDAP 認証などの認証方法をいくつかサポートしています。
Basic 認証を使用した接続
次を設定してデータを認証し接続します。User およびPassword を設定してSybaseIQ 認証を使用します。
- User:認証Sybase ユーザーのユーザー名に設定。
- Password:認証Sybase ユーザーのパスワードに設定。
- Server:SybaseIQ またはSAP SQL Anywhere データベースインスタンスの名前またはネットワークアドレスに設定。
- Database:指定されたサーバーで実行されているSybaseIQ またはSAP SQL Anywhere データベースの名前に設定。
オプションで、UseSSL をtrue に設定することにより、TLS/SSL で接続を保護できます。
Note: 上記のCData 製品 設定でSAP SQL Anywhere のインスタンスに接続することもできます。
Kerberos 認証を使用した接続
Kerberos 認証を活用するには、次の接続プロパティを使用してそれを有効にすることから始めます。
- AuthScheme:Kerberos に設定すると、Sybase への認証に使用されます。
Kerberos 認証用に設定する必要がある接続プロパティに関しては、Kerberos の使用 情報を参照してください。
以下は接続文字列の例です。
Server=MyServer;Port=MyPort;User=SampleUser;Password=SamplePassword;Database=MyDB;Kerberos=true;KerberosKDC=MyKDC;KerberosRealm=MYREALM.COM;KerberosSPN=server-name
LDAP 認証を使用した接続
LDAP 認証で接続するには、LDAP 認証メカニズムを使用するようにSybase サーバーサイドを設定する必要があります。
LDAP 用にSybase を設定したら、Basic 認証と同じクレデンシャルを使用して接続できます。
Enter the appropriate connection properties in the configuration wizard.
- Click "Connect" to authenticate with Sybase.
- Finally, click "Save Configuration" to save the MCP server.
NOTE: This saves the configuration details to a separate file and updates the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) to start the CData MCP Server when the Claude Desktop client starts.
With the CData MCP Server configured, you are ready to start asking questions of your live data from Claude.
Step 3: Ask AI for answers from live Sybase のデータ
Now that we have installed the CData MCP Server and configured a connection, we are ready to start with Sybase のデータ in Claude Desktop.
- Open Claude Desktop. It may take a moment for the MCP Servers to start, but you will see the list of servers and tools available in the Claude interface (look for the settings icon below the prompt bar).
You can individually enable and disable specific tools by clicking on the server name.
- Now that you have connected, you can ask Claude questions about the Sybase のデータ. For example: "Can you give me a quantitative analysis about my closed-won opportunities by industry?"
NOTE: Claude may need to explore the Sybase のデータ to make sense of it before it can begin answering questions of the data. The tabular model presented by CData alongside the database tools available simplify the data exploration and analysis for an LLM.
