Snowflake-managed MCP server

What it does

Snowflake's own hosted MCP server, created as an object inside a Snowflake schema and reached over HTTP at an account URL ending in the server's name, with no separate infrastructure to run. Each server exposes the tools its owner configures: Cortex Agents, Cortex Search services, Cortex Analyst over semantic views, SQL execution that is read-only unless switched, a coding agent, and custom tools built from UDFs or stored procedures. Clients sign in with Snowflake OAuth by default or an external identity provider, and Snowflake's role-based access decides what each tool can reach. The docs give setup steps for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, plus general remote-client guidance.
