Oct 02, 2025: Snowflake-managed MCP server (Preview)

The Snowflake-managed MCP server lets AI agents securely retrieve data from Snowflake accounts without needing to deploy separate infrastructure. You can configure the MCP server to serve Cortex Analyst and Cortex Search as tools on the standards-based interface. MCP clients discover and invoke these tools, and retrieve data required for the application. With managed MCP servers on Snowflake, you can build scalable enterprise-grade applications while maintaining access and privacy controls. The MCP server on Snowflake provides:

  • Standardized integration: Unified interface for tool discovery and invocation, in compliance with the rapidly evolving standards.

  • Comprehensive authentication: Snowflake’s built-in OAuth service to enable OAuth-based authentication for MCP integrations.

  • Robust governance: Role based access control (RBAC) for the MCP server and tools to manage tool discovery and invocation.
