Bring Sql Query
to Windsurf
Learn how to connect Snowflake to Windsurf and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Snowflake MCP Server?
Connect your Snowflake account to any AI agent to automate your data cloud operations and analytical workflows. Snowflake provides a premier platform for data warehousing and analysis, and this integration allows you to execute SQL statements, browse database schemas, and monitor session contexts through natural conversation.
What you can do
- SQL Query Orchestration — Execute any SQL statement programmatically and retrieve real-time data results for immediate analysis.
- Database & Schema Oversight — List and search through databases, schemas, and tables to maintain a clear overview of your data architecture directly from the AI interface.
- Warehouse & Resource Control — Access and monitor available warehouses and user roles to ensure your analytical environment is properly configured.
- Metadata Intelligence — Describe table structures and retrieve session context metadata via natural language commands to facilitate data exploration.
- Operational Monitoring — Track statement execution status and cancel long-running queries to ensure your data cloud resources are used efficiently.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Snowflake Account Identifier and Token (JWT or OAuth2)
3. Start managing your data cloud from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — quickly retrieve query results and explore table schemas without switching between SQL editors.
- BI Engineers — automate the retrieval of database metadata and monitor warehouse usage via natural conversation.
- Data Scientists — streamline the exploration of large datasets and track session contexts directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Snowflake Account Identifier?
Your Account Identifier is the part of your Snowflake URL before '.snowflakecomputing.com'. It typically looks like xy12345.us-east-2.aws.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
