What is the Amazon Redshift MCP Server?
Connect your Amazon Redshift data warehouse securely to your AI agent utilizing the AWS Redshift Data API. This integration empowers your AI interface to natively run aggregations, explore massive schemas, and retrieve historical executing query logs asynchronously without requiring persistent DB connection pools, JDBC drivers, or complex networking configurations.
What you can do
- Execute Asynchronous SQL — Direct the AI to execute standard SQL commands (
execute_sql), including complex SELECT aggregations, table creation (DDL), or data mutation (DML). Since it uses the Data API, long-running queries will process in the background. - Poll & Retrieve Results — Ask the agent to proactively monitor the execution lifecycle (
statement_status) of dispatched query IDs and retrieve the dataset rows (get_results) securely into your terminal upon completion. - Schema & Table Discovery — Understand the database structure dynamically by generating lists of available schemas (
list_schemas) or looking up column metadata metrics for specific tables (describe_table). - Statement Histories — Perform audits assessing previously submitted query structures and track analytical workloads running on your configured cluster (
list_statements).
How it works
- Authorize the Amazon Redshift MCP plugin from your connected extension hub.
- Configure your serverless integration using standard AWS IAM principles. Supply an Access Key ID & Secret targeting your cluster, identifying the specific endpoint, Database Name, and DB User.
- Chat seamlessly with your AI to prompt queries like "Describe the metadata for the 'public.events' table" or "Execute a query counting all sales processed yesterday."
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts & Scientists — Execute ad-hoc exploratory aggregations through natural language prompts. Pull specific dataset metrics and schemas instantly into chat without switching to external SQL IDEs like DBeaver.
- Backend Developers — Test schema migrations intuitively. Troubleshoot data integrations and check table state integrity interactively from the code editor during development.
- Data Engineers — Audit Redshift cluster loads and verify execution lifecycles asynchronously for large reporting workloads directly connected to your conversational toolkit.

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Amazon Redshift as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 7 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Amazon Redshift data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Amazon Redshift tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Are query results limited by size?
Yes. The underlying Redshift Data API imposes soft constraints; for enormous responses, you might receive a paginated NextToken. While this MCP server auto-handles some response collection, queries returning over a few megabytes of raw JSON should be pre-filtered using LIMIT or aggregated to avoid token constraints in the LLM.
Can I use standard IAM credentials or do I need specific AWS roles?
The integration accepts standard static IAM keys (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID & AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY), provided they hold sufficient IAM inline or attached policies allowing use of redshift-data:* operations targeting your exact Cluster ARN.
Why does `execute_sql` only return a statement ID instead of the data?
Because the Amazon Redshift Data API is strictly asynchronous. Queries often take seconds to minutes. Returning the statement_id instantly allows the AI to continue parsing conversations or interacting with other systems without locking up, executing get_results at a later time when the query officially succeeds.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
