Installation

  1. Clone and setup the project:
    git clone <repository-url> cd datapilot python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
  2. Install dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  3. Configure environment variables:
    cp env.template .env # Edit .env with your credentials

Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file with the following configuration:

# Required: Snowflake Connection # Account examples: # - ACCOUNT-LOCATOR.snowflakecomputing.com (recommended) # - ACCOUNT-LOCATOR.region.cloud # - organization-account_name SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT=ACCOUNT-LOCATOR.snowflakecomputing.com SNOWFLAKE_USER=your_username SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD=your_password # Optional: Default Snowflake Context SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE=your_warehouse_name SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE=your_database_name SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA=your_schema_name SNOWFLAKE_ROLE=your_role_name # Required: OpenAI API OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4 # Optional, defaults to gpt-4

Snowflake Account Setup

  1. Get your Snowflake account identifier - Multiple formats supported:
    • Recommended: ACCOUNT-LOCATOR.snowflakecomputing.com (e.g., SCGEENJ-UR66679.snowflakecomputing.com)
    • Regional: ACCOUNT-LOCATOR.region.cloud (e.g., xy12345.us-east-1.aws)
    • Legacy: organization-account_name
  2. Ensure your user has appropriate permissions:
    • USAGE on warehouses, databases, and schemas
    • SELECT on tables for querying
    • SHOW privileges for listing objects

Usage

Running the Server

Method 1: Direct execution
python -m src.main
Method 2: Using FastMCP CLI
fastmcp run src/main.py
Method 3: Development mode with auto-reload
fastmcp dev src/main.py

Connecting to MCP Clients

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "datapilot": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "src.main"], "cwd": "/path/to/datapilot", "env": { "SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT": "your_account", "SNOWFLAKE_USER": "your_user", "SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD": "your_password", "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your_openai_key" } } } }
Using FastMCP Client
from fastmcp import Client async def main(): async with Client("python -m src.main") as client: # List databases databases = await client.call_tool("list_databases") print("Databases:", databases) # Natural language to SQL result = await client.call_tool("natural_language_to_sql", { "question": "Show me the top 10 customers by revenue", "database": "SALES_DB", "schema": "PUBLIC" }) print("Generated SQL:", result)

Example Usage

1. Natural Language Query

# Ask a question in natural language question = "What are the top 5 products by sales volume last month?" sql = await client.call_tool("natural_language_to_sql", { "question": question, "database": "SALES_DB", "schema": "PUBLIC" }) print(f"Generated SQL: {sql}")

2. Execute and Analyze

# Execute a query and get AI analysis analysis = await client.call_tool("analyze_query_results", { "query": "SELECT product_name, SUM(quantity) as total_sales FROM sales GROUP BY product_name ORDER BY total_sales DESC LIMIT 10", "results_limit": 100, "analysis_type": "summary" }) print(f"Analysis: {analysis}")

3. Table Insights

# Get AI-powered insights about a table insights = await client.call_tool("generate_table_insights", { "table_name": "SALES_DB.PUBLIC.CUSTOMERS", "sample_limit": 50 }) print(f"Table insights: {insights}")

4. Query Optimization

# Get optimization suggestions optimizations = await client.call_tool("suggest_query_optimizations", { "query": "SELECT * FROM large_table WHERE date_column > '2023-01-01'" }) print(f"Optimization suggestions: {optimizations}")

Development

Adding New Tools

  1. Define your tool function in src/main.py:
@mcp.tool() async def my_new_tool(param: str, ctx: Context) -> str: """Description of what the tool does""" await ctx.info(f"Processing: {param}") # Your logic here return "result"
  1. Add appropriate error handling and logging
  2. Test with FastMCP dev mode: fastmcp dev src/main.py

Adding New Resources

@mcp.resource("snowflake://my-resource/{param}") async def my_resource(param: str) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Resource description""" # Your logic here return {"data": "value"}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Connection Errors
    • Verify Snowflake credentials in .env
    • Check network connectivity
    • Ensure user has required permissions
  2. OpenAI Errors
    • Verify OPENAI_API_KEY is set correctly
    • Check API quota and billing
    • Ensure model name is correct
  3. Import Errors
    • Activate virtual environment
    • Install all requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
    • Run from project root directory

Logging

Enable debug logging:

LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
