Create an XML or JSON server config file under your /src/main/ml-config/servers/ directory with server-type set to xdbc:

An example JSON:

{
    "server-name": "%%NAME%%-xdbc",
    "group-name": "%%GROUP%%",
    "server-type": "xdbc",
    "root": "/",
    "port": %%XDBC_PORT%%,
    "content-database": "%%DATABASE%%",
    "modules-database": "%%MODULES_DATABASE%%"
}

An example XML config on the ml-gradle project: https://github.com/marklogic/ml-gradle/blob/master/examples/sample-project/src/main/ml-config/servers/xdbc-server.xml

<xdbc-server-properties xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage">
  <server-name>%%NAME%%-xdbc</server-name>
  <group-name>%%GROUP%%</group-name>
  <server-type>xdbc</server-type>
  <root>/</root>
  <port>%%XDBC_PORT%%</port>
  <content-database>%%DATABASE%%</content-database>
  <modules-database>%%MODULES_DATABASE%%</modules-database>
</xdbc-server-properties>
