Snowflake MCP Server
Overview
The Snowflake MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that provides seamless database interaction with Snowflake, enabling users to run SQL queries and manage data insights dynamically.
Users can integrate the server into their environment without needing to clone or install the repository. Configuration is done by modifying the claude_desktop_config.json file to include necessary Snowflake credentials.
- Execute SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE SQL queries. - Create new database tables. - List all tables and describe their schema. - Continuously updated insights memo that aggregates insights discovered during analysis.
- Automating data analysis workflows with dynamic database interactions.
- Aggregating and updating insights in real-time from data analysis processes.
- Performing complex queries and modifications in Snowflake databases.

Use these steps to connect Snowflake MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.
Cursor
Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.
.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman"
]
}
}
}Claude Code
Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.
.mcp.json (project root)
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman"
]
}
}
}VS Code (Copilot)
Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.
.vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman"
]
}
}
}Windsurf
Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-snowflake-server-isaacwasserman"
]
}
}
}Cline
Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

}FAQ
Can I run write queries with this server?
Yes, but you need to use the `--allow-write` flag to execute INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE queries.
How do I configure my Snowflake credentials?
Specify your credentials in the `env` section of the configuration with required parameters like `SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT`, `SNOWFLAKE_USER`, etc.
Is there any installation required?
No, the server can be run directly by configuring it in the JSON file without cloning the repository.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":390,"uuid":"306857ea-1131-4cf1-a34c-9a8cf906724c","name":"mcp-snowflake-server","title":"Snowflake MCP Server","description":"","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1498116?v=4","created_at":"2024-12-15T06:44:28.832Z","updated_at":"2024-12-16T06:52:36.512Z","status":"created","author_name":"isaacwasserman","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1498116?v=4","tags":"[]","category":"research-and-data","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/isaacwasserman/mcp-snowflake-server","target":"_self","content":"$29","summary":"$2a","img_url":"https://camo.githubusercontent.com/bdcfca988b369e51051c3201cedfc429354b0801a0c5d88aa3eb00ae37e7188b/68747470733a2f2f6d736565702e6e65742f70722f69736161637761737365726d616e2d6d63702d736e6f77666c616b652d7365727665722d62616467652e706e67","type":null,"metadata":"{\"star\":\"90\",\"license\":\"GPL-3.0 license\",\"language\":\"Python\",\"is_official\":false,\"latest_commit_time\":\"2025-05-16 12:45:22\"}","user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]
