Build Oracle Sales-Powered Applications in Cursor with CData Code Assist MCP

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that integrates agentic AI into everyday development workflows. With support for MCP, Cursor can connect to local tools and enterprise data sources directly from the editor, enabling natural language interaction with live systems without switching context.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting LLM clients to external services through structured tool interfaces. MCP servers expose capabilities such as schema discovery and live querying, allowing AI agents to retrieve and reason over real-time data safely and consistently.

In this article, we guide you through installing the CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales, configuring the connection to Oracle Sales, connecting the Code Assist MCP add-on to Cursor, and querying live Oracle Sales data from within the editor.

Step 1: Download and install the CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales

1. To begin, download the CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales
2. Find and double-click the installer to begin the installation
3. Run the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation

When the installation is complete, you are ready to configure your Code Assist MCP add-on by connecting to Oracle Sales.

Step 2: Configure the connection to Oracle Sales

1. After installation, open the CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales configuration wizard

   NOTE: If the wizard does not open automatically, search for "CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales" in the Windows search bar and open the application.

   
2. In MCP Configuration > Configuration Name, either select an existing configuration or choose to create a new one
3. Name the configuration (e.g. "cdata_oraclesalescloud") and click OK

4. Enter the appropriate connection properties in the configuration wizard

   Oracle Sales uses Basic authentication over SSL; after setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

   • Username: Set this to the user name that you use to log into your Oracle Cloud service.
   • Password: Set this to your password.
   • HostURL: Set this to the Web address (URL) of your Oracle Cloud service.
   
5. Click Connect to authenticate with Oracle Sales
6. Then, click Save Configuration to save the Code Assist MCP add-on

This process creates a .mcp configuration file that Cursor will reference when launching the Code Assist MCP add-on. Now with your Code Assist MCP add-on configured, you are ready to connect it to Cursor.

Step 3: Connect the Code Assist MCP add-on to Cursor

1. Download the Cursor desktop application and complete the sign-up flow for your account
2. From the top menu, click Settings to open the settings panel
3. In the left navigation, open the Tools & MCP tab and click Add Custom MCP

Option 1: Manually add the MCP configuration

1. Cursor opens an mcp.json file in the editor
2. Add the code shown below and save the file

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cdata-local": {
      "command": "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-17/bin/java.exe",
      "args": [
        "-jar",
        "C:/Program Files/CData/CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales/lib/cdata.mcp.oraclesalescloud.jar",
        "cdata_oraclesalescloud"
      ]
    }
  }
}



NOTE: The command value should point to your Java 17+ java.exe executable, and the JAR path should point to the installed CData Code Assist MCP add-on .jar file. The final argument must match the MCP configuration name you saved in the CData configuration wizard (e.g. "cdata_oraclesalescloud").

Option 2: Copy the MCP configuration from the CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales UI

1. After saving and testing your connection in the configuration wizard, click Next

2. Select Cursor from the AI MCP Tool dropdown

3. Follow the MCP Client Instructions to create the required folders for the MCP config

4. Copy the displayed JSON code and paste it into your configuration file
5. In Cursor, open the project folder you created with the mcp.json config
4. The Code Assist MCP add-on should appear as Running under Installed MCP Servers

Step 4: Query live Oracle Sales data in Cursor

1. From the top bar, click Toggle AI Pane to open the chat window
2. Ask questions about your Oracle Sales data using natural language. For example:

   "List all tables available in my Oracle Sales data connection."

   

Cursor is now fully integrated with CData Code Assist MCP for Oracle Sales and can use the MCP tools exposed to explore schemas and execute live queries against Oracle Sales.
