Snowflake Cortex MCP Server is an open-source MCP server that exposes Cortex-powered tooling to the MCP ecosystem for Snowflake. It enables Cortex Search for unstructured data, Cortex Analyst for structured data via semantic models, and Cortex Agent for orchestration across data retrieval. It also provides object management capabilities (create, drop, update, etc.), SQL execution governed by user-configured permissions, and semantic view discovery and querying. Configuration is driven by a YAML file that groups Cortex services (agent, search, analyst) and other tool groups (object_manager, query_manager, semantic_manager). The server enforces RBAC and supports all authentication methods offered by the Snowflake Python Connector (username/password, key pair, OAuth, SSO, MFA). It can run with stdio or HTTP transports and supports container deployments via Docker or Docker Compose. It is designed to be client-agnostic, working with Claude Desktop, Cursor, fast-agent, Codex, and other MCP clients. Tools are exposed as REST endpoints, and semantic models or semantic views can be used by analysts. Debugging tooling and troubleshooting guidance are included.
