What is the Google BigQuery MCP Server?
Connect your Google BigQuery data warehouse to any AI agent and empower it to act as a fractional data analyst. Traverse structured schemas, audit data pipelines, and execute complex aggregations over petabytes of data purely through conversational prompts.
What you can do
- Execute Queries — Prompt natively structural Data Analytics requests and allow the LLM to write, run, and summarize exact
Standard SQLinstantly - Discover Schemas — Inspect deep table column mappings, discovering strict clustering logic and native partitioning limits
- Audit Workloads — Paginate recent cluster jobs, identify heavily delayed computations globally, and read bytes explicitly processed by runs
- Dataset Topologies — Traverse nested datasets logically mapping GCP access properties recursively
- Performance Troubleshooting — Read exact job error traces directly confirming syntax failures natively
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your GCP Project ID and an active OAuth/Service Account Token
- Start querying terabytes of rows securely from Claude, Cursor, or your preferred agent workspace
Stop switching into the GCP Console for quick data validations. Check database constraints and summarize recent daily logs all from your chat.
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers — troubleshoot failing scheduled queries and explore undocumented columns securely on-the-fly
- Marketing Analysts — request customer cohorts using conversational logic that natively translates to optimized SQL
- Backend Developers — rapidly confirm if application background pipelines successfully inserted the necessary rows without breaking flow

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Google BigQuery data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 7 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI write its own queries if I just ask it a business question?
Yes! The agent will typically use list_tables and get_table to study the columns first. Then, realizing constraints, it will natively invoke execute_query running an optimized Standard SQL string to fetch exactly what you asked for.
Will my prompt fail if it returns millions of rows?
It might hit the context window boundaries of the chosen foundational LLM. Good practice suggests instructing your AI to always append LIMIT 100 initially or run macro aggregations (like COUNT() or SUM()) natively inside BigQuery first.
How do I check if a query was expensive after it ran?
Use the list_jobs or get_job endpoints. They expose metadata directly from Google's history returning the totalBytesProcessed flag so your agent can estimate overhead intelligently.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
