What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your 4D Server Base URL and Credentials
- Start querying and managing your 4D database through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- 4D Developers — quickly audit data and test queries using natural language commands without custom code.
- Data Analysts — retrieve specific data subsets for reporting without writing manual HTTP requests or SQL.
- Business Admins — manage application records and look up information across tables easily from a single chat interface.
- Systems Integrators — verify REST API exposure and data availability in real-time during development.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find which tables are available?
Use the get_catalog tool. It will return a list of all DataClasses (tables) exposed through the REST API in your 4D Server.
Can I filter data based on specific conditions?
Yes. Use the list_entities tool and provide an ORDA-style filter string in the $filter parameter (e.g., "status = 'active' AND price > 100").
Does this support creating new records?
Absolutely. Use the create_entity tool by providing the DataClass name and a JSON string containing the field data for the new record.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
