About 4D MCP Server
Bridge your 4D Server with the world of AI Agents through the power of ORDA (Object Relational Data Architecture). This integration transforms your 4D database into an intelligent, queryable knowledge base, allowing your AI agent to explore structures and manage records through natural conversation. No more manual REST calls; your agent can now audit catalogs, run complex entity queries, and perform high-speed CRUD operations, ensuring your 4D data is always accessible and actionable within your AI workflows.
Claude Code registers 4D as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 6 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where 4D data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Database Exploration — Retrieve the full catalog of DataClasses (tables) and their attribute definitions (fields) to map your data structure.
- Advanced Querying — Perform complex data lookups using filters, ordering, and expansion of related entities with ORDA syntax.
- CRUD Operations — Create, read, update, and delete records across any exposed DataClass in your 4D environment.
- Metadata Insights — Check server information, version, and database structure on the fly to ensure system integrity.
- Structured Access — Interact with your data using the modern ORDA model, ensuring consistency, type safety, and security.
The 4D MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
