Configuring Data Fabric MCP Server

This topics describes various configuration settings required for MCP.

Configuring Data Fabric MCP Service

DAG packages include the following configuration files for Data Fabric MCP Service:

mcp-server.conf

This file is stored in /opt/mapr/data-access-gateway/conf and loaded from the local file system.
This file contains node-specific options, such as the port number and security protocol. Set the options in this file on a per-node basis.
By default, the Data Fabric MCP service listens on port 5679.
If the DAG service instances are behind a firewall, the firewall rules must be configured to allow this traffic.

See Data Fabric MCP Server Settings for list of MCP server settings.

Configuring SSL for MCP Server

MCP Server uses the default SSL configuration of the Data Fabric cluster. See SSL Certificates for more information.

Configuring OAuth for MCP Server

You must configure SSO to use OAuth in the MCP server. See Configuring SSO for more information.
