The Actian MCP Server for HCL Informix® connects AI applications to the HCL Informix® database using the open Model Context Protocol (MCP). It acts as a secure bridge between MCP-compatible AI clients and your database, enabling agents to discover schemas, execute queries, and retrieve real-time context through a standardized interface.
HCL Informix® is suited for time-series, Internet of Things (IoT), and high-availability spatial data.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Run SQL queries | Read-only by default; enable read-write mode to also run INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. Data Definition Language (DDL) is always rejected in both modes. |
| Human-in-the-loop write approval | Every write requires a person to approve it in the connected MCP client, and the OAuth mcp:write scope when OAuth is enabled. |
| List tables and views | Discover available objects in the schema. |
| Inspect table structure | Retrieve column definitions, types, and key information. |
| Read schema metadata | Explore database-level metadata. |
| List functions and procedures | View available user-defined routines. |
| Custom extensions | Add custom tools and resources with Python modules mounted at /app/extensions, without modifying the core plugin. |
