# Does Snowflake have an MCP server?

**Yes — Official.** Snowflake maintains an official MCP server.

> The Snowflake-Labs/mcp repo is deprecated — the official server is now built into the product (GA since Nov 2025), served from each account's URL.

## Facts

- Verdict: Official (Yes)
- Access: Built into the product — Ships inside the vendor's own app or CLI rather than as a standalone download.
- Endpoint: `Snowflake-managed MCP server (in-product, per-account URL)`
- Category: [Databases](https://mcpyet.com/category/databases/)
- Verified against vendor docs: 2026-08-10
- GitHub data refreshed: 2026-08-11 (re-checked every 6 hours)

## The receipts

- **In-product:** Snowflake-managed MCP server (in-product, per-account URL) — ships inside Snowflake's own product rather than as a standalone server. Documented at <https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowflake-cortex/cortex-agents-mcp>.

## How to connect it

Ships inside the vendor's own app or CLI rather than as a standalone download.

### Claude Code

```sh
claude mcp add snowflake -- npx -y <package-from-readme>
```

Swap in the exact package and flags from the repo README — most servers need an API key passed as an environment variable. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project.

### Claude Desktop

Open **Settings → Developer → Edit Config** and add the server to `claude_desktop_config.json`, then restart Claude Desktop:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snowflake": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "<package-from-readme>"
      ],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "…"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Cursor

Add to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project, or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for every project:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snowflake": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "<package-from-readme>"
      ],
      "env": {
        "API_KEY": "…"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`, then pick the server from Copilot's agent-mode tools menu:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "snowflake": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "<package-from-readme>"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### ChatGPT

ChatGPT connects to **remote servers only**, and this one runs on your machine. Either expose it through an MCP gateway that gives it a public URL, or use a client with native local support (Claude or Cursor).

## How we know

Official Snowflake-managed MCP server documented at docs.snowflake.com; the older Snowflake-Labs/mcp repo README marks itself deprecated in its favor.
