How do I connect Claude to NDJSON in 5 minutes?
Execute the following steps to connect Claude to NDJSON. You only need knowledge of Claude and your own business.
NDJSON is a file format based upon JavaScript. A NDJSON file consists of one record in JSON-format per line. No array grouping or record separator is used.
No technical knowledge is needed nor knowledge on the NDJSON APIs to connect NDJSON to Claude. This step-by-step plan will tell you exactly which steps you need to go through on Invantive Cloud to create your own Azure data warehouse with data from NDJSON.
The steps to connect Claude to NDJSON are:
- Register an Invantive Cloud account.
- Create a NDJSON database.
- Grant connection from Claude access to NDJSON
- Connect Claude to NDJSON through the connector.
- Ask Claude a question about NDJSON
Invantive Cloud offers a NDJSON connector to download data from NDJSON into Claude, but there are over 110 other connectors available also for SQL, Power BI, Power Query, Qlik, Tableau i Azure Data Factory.
Do you have a large environment? For effective downloads, you can of course also filter the data.
When you are having questions, please check the forums for NDJSON.
Register Account on Invantive Cloud
Skip this step when you already have an account on Invantive Cloud. Otherwise execute the following steps one time to register an account on Invantive Cloud:
-
Go to Invantive Cloud start page.
Select the Log on-button.
-
Select the Next-button.
-
Select the Next-button.
Enter your password and repeat the provided password.
You will receive a six-digit verification code by email within 2 minutes.
-
Select the Sign Up-button.
-
Make sure you have an authentication app installed on your phone. Select the Next-button.
-
Add the displayed QR code to the authentication app, enter the current verification code, and choose "Finish".
-
The Invantive Cloud dashboard will be shown.
You now have a login code on Invantive Cloud with which you can set up the connection with NDJSON and numerous other platforms. You will use the same Invantive login code and workflow for all other platforms.
Create NDJSON database
In this step, we set up a database with data from NDJSON. The database is "virtual" because it is not a traditional database, but is fed real-time from NDJSON. Invantive Cloud provides Claude with a real-time link to NDJSON. The database will be used for all your NDJSON reporting with Claude. So you only need to perform these steps once.
-
Click the Add Database button.
-
Please fill out the form with login information for NDJSON.
Select the OK-button.
Congratulations! You can now process data from NDJSON within the Invantive Cloud website. You can do this for example with the interactive SQL editor.
Grant connection from Claude access to NDJSON
To retrieve the data from Claude we create a link via Invantive Bridge Online. This creates a "bridge" between the cloud of Invantive and the standard OData connector that is available in every version of Claude. You do not need to install anything locally: no connector, no ado.NET provider and no Claude add-on neither.
Execute the following steps to safely use the data from NDJSON outside of Invantive Cloud:
Next to the database you will find an orange text requesting you to allow access from your current location (IP address). Select the nearby orange button.
You can completely disable IP address checking by entering an asterisk ("*").
You are now ready to import the NDJSON data into Claude.
Configure the MCP connector in Claude for NDJSON
In Claude the address of the MCP server is added once as a custom connector, after which the data of NDJSON is available in every conversation.
-
In Claude: open Settings and then Connectors, and choose to add a custom connector.
-
Paste the URL address of the MCP server copied in the previous step and confirm.
-
Log on with your Invantive Cloud account and approve the request.
-
Ask a question only your own NDJSON data can answer. The connector first reads the data model and then the records the question needs.
What Claude Can and Cannot Do
The connector offers tools such as to describe the data model and read records. There is no tool that writes, posts, deletes or executes SQL, so no instruction in a conversation can change anything in NDJSON.
Reading is bounded by the database: platforms not in it and NDJSON companies not selected are not reachable.
