Your data is protected. See how we built it.

Data auditing and querying used to feel like an endless series of clicks.

Today, getting a full view requires logging into the data warehouse UI, running a query, downloading the CSV, then switching to the governance portal to check permissions, and finally opening the schema documentation just to figure out what column names mean. It's constant context switching.

With this MCP, you tell your agent exactly what data you need and from where. The AI client does all that cross-referencing—listing catalogs, checking schemas, running the SQL—and hands you a single answer.

Starburst MCP gives you immediate control over your data environment.

You no longer have to manually run `list_catalogs` and then drill down through multiple screens just to see what databases are even connected. The system maps it out for you automatically when you ask a general question.

It means your data exploration moves at the speed of thought, not the speed of clicking through a dozen different administrative dashboards.

What Starburst MCP does for your AI

This MCP brings the power of enterprise data analytics into your conversational AI workflow. Instead of opening ten different dashboard tabs or writing boilerplate SQL connection scripts for every source, you talk to your agent and ask questions about your combined data lakes. Your client uses this MCP to figure out which sources are connected (like S3 or Snowflake) and lets you query them as if they were one giant database.

You can run complex queries against the entire system, check what schemas exist across different departments, and even verify who has access to sensitive information. It’s about making data governance and advanced querying feel natural. When working with other enterprise tools, Vinkius makes sure this MCP is available alongside thousands of others, so your AI client never gets stuck needing a new connection.

Frequently asked questions about Starburst MCP

How does Starburst MCP handle multiple database types? +

The MCP is designed to query federated data lakes. It connects to diverse sources like Snowflake and S3, allowing you to run a single query against all of them.

Can I see which roles exist using Starburst MCP? +

Yes, running list_roles allows the agent to display every security role defined in your organization's data environment for auditing purposes.

What is the difference between list_catalogs and list_schemas? +

Using list_catalogs shows the highest level of grouping (the entire database instance), while list_schemas lets you drill down to see the specific groups of tables within one catalog.

Does Starburst MCP help with data discovery? +

Absolutely. By listing available data products using list_data_products, it helps you find pre-approved, curated datasets without knowing their exact location or schema name.

What is the best way to check query history with Starburst MCP? +

You use the list_queries tool. This lets your agent retrieve a clean record of recent SQL queries executed in the cluster for review.
