What is the Starburst MCP Server?
Integrate the powerful federated data analytics capabilities of Starburst directly into your conversational AI workflows. Empower your data engineering and analytics teams to query extensive data lakes, manage organizational roles, and explore detailed schemas without needing to explicitly switch between database clients. Securely map your AI assistant to your Starburst host, enabling natural language orchestration of complex Trino-based data products to accelerate data discovery and governance across your entire enterprise architecture.
What you can do
- Federated Query Execution — Pass complex SQL statements programmatically against your connected data sources utilizing
execute_query, receiving structured analytic returns directly. - Schema & Catalog Discovery — Actively map your data landscape by inspecting linked databases invoking
list_catalogs, and drill down into specific table hierarchies usinglist_schemas. - Data Product Management — Manage and retrieve existing analytical data products across the Starburst network systematically validating data definitions using
list_data_products. - Governance & Role Administration — Inspect access control limitations securely by navigating role assignments formally deploying requests through
list_rolesand evaluating privilege thresholds.
How it works
- Install the Starburst MCP connector, binding it inherently to your active LLM assistant.
- In the MCP configurations, provide your
STARBURST_HOSTand yourSTARBURST_TOKENto securely establish a persistent communication session. - Instruct the AI: "Execute a query listing the top 10 rows from the 'customer_analytics' table located in our 'production_hive' catalog, and summarize the data."
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers — Radically streamline data auditing by parsing schemas, managing catalogs, and iterating over queries utilizing an intuitive conversational interface.
- Data Analysts — Explore massive federated datasets without writing rigorous boilerplate connection scripts, leveraging AI to construct and execute complex SQL instantly.
- Data Governance Managers — Maintain strict oversight of access limitations continuously verifying role assignments and auditing internal data products natively.

Frequently asked questions
Can the AI run write or drop queries?
That depends on your token's permissions. The execute_query tool passes any SQL to Starburst. To prevent mutations, provision a read-only token via your Starburst security settings.
How do I handle queries that return thousands of rows?
Always add a LIMIT clause in your SQL. Large result sets can exceed the AI's context window. Instruct the agent to use LIMIT 10 or LIMIT 50 to keep responses manageable.
What credentials do I need?
Two values: STARBURST_HOST (your cluster URL, e.g., https://mycluster.trino.galaxy.starburst.io) and STARBURST_TOKEN (a service account token from your Starburst admin settings).
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
