While CData continuously improves existing drivers, we also deliver complete rewrites to modernize connectivity and enhance performance. In this release, two popular connectors received significant updates:

Updates include migration to Query API endpoints (replacing deprecated Cypher endpoints), support for Neo4j 5.x LTS versions, AuraDB cloud connectivity, improved JOIN query support with proper result parsing, and parameterized query support for better INSERT performance.

• WordPress: Incremental enhancements improve compatibility and performance in the latest WordPress API versions.

Major MCP server enhancement: unstructured data access

With this release, we see a major enhancement for unstructured data connectivity in CData's MCP server implementation. Read more below:

• Google Drive/Sheets MCP Server enhancements: The Google Drive MCP Server can now read contents of Google Docs files without downloading them via the newly introduced GetDocumentContent stored procedure, while the Google Sheets MCP Server can create new spreadsheet headers. Additionally, the Google Drive driver includes new tables and stored procedures (Comments, Replies, Revisions, About entities), an Item URL column for opening shared drives, shortcuts support for better file organization, multiple new columns for granular filtering, EmptyTrash functionality for shared drives, and a PageSize property.

Key enhancements: MCP servers, SQL Gateway, and enterprise platforms

In the 2025 Q4 release, CData continues to improve upon its products, offering increased performance and usability across its driver and connector suite.

• Microsoft Graph Drivers - Scope property for sovereign clouds: All Microsoft Graph API drivers now expose the Scope connection property for OAuth, critical for Azure Government Cloud (USGOVT) and other sovereign cloud environments where default scopes don't apply. This enhancement affects Azure AD, Excel Online, MS Teams, Office 365, OneNote, OneDrive, MSProject, MSPlanner, and SharePoint drivers.

• Databricks enhancements: Added LocalDateTime support for reading and using as a parameter, plus an IncludeSystemSchemas connection property to specify whether to expose the information_schema system schema.
