To use the server, install the required packages, clone the repository, set up environment variables, and run the server using the provided scripts for your operating system.

  • MCP Protocol Support: Allows LLMs to interact with Databricks. - Databricks API Integration: Access to REST API for permissions management. - Tool Registration: Exposes permissions functionality as MCP tools. - Async Support: Built with asyncio for efficient operation.
  1. Managing user permissions in Databricks workspaces.
  2. Automating credential management for service principals.
  3. Integrating with LLMs for enhanced data access control.
