Databricks MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with Databricks SQL Analytics.

Files Overview

  • venv/test_mcp_cloud.py: Main MCP server script providing Databricks SQL tools

  • venv/databricks_connection.py: Connection test script to verify Databricks credentials

  • venv/run_inspector.ps1: PowerShell script to launch MCP inspector with environment variables

  • venv/.env: Environment variables file (create this with your credentials)

  • README.md: This documentation file

Related MCP server: Databricks MCP Server

Features

  • Query Databricks: Execute SELECT queries on Databricks tables

  • Update Databricks: Perform INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations

  • List Tables: Browse available tables in your schema

  • Inspect Schema: Get column information for specific tables

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+

  • Databricks workspace with SQL Analytics enabled

  • Personal Access Token with appropriate permissions

Installation

  1. Clone this repository

  2. Create a virtual environment:

    python -m venv venv
    venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
  3. Install dependencies:

    pip install fastmcp databricks-sql-connector sqlalchemy python-dotenv

Configuration

  1. Create a .env file in the venv/ directory:

    DATABRICKS_SERVER_HOSTNAME=your-workspace.databricks.com
    DATABRICKS_HTTP_PATH=/sql/1.0/warehouses/your-warehouse-id
    DATABRICKS_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token
    DATABRICKS_CATALOG=your-catalog-name
    DATABRICKS_SCHEMA=your-schema-name
  2. Test your connection:

    python venv/databricks_connection.py

Usage

Testing the MCP Server

Using the PowerShell script (recommended):

  1. Edit venv/run_inspector.ps1 and update the paths and your Databricks credentials

  2. Run: ./venv/run_inspector.ps1

Manual command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector venv/Scripts/python.exe venv/test_mcp_cloud.py

Important: Before running run_inspector.ps1, you must edit the file and update:

  • The $PYTHON_EXE and $SERVER_PY paths to match your system

  • All the credential variables ($TOKEN, $HOSTNAME, $PATH, $CATALOG, $SCHEMA) with your actual Databricks information

Claude Desktop Integration

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop:

  1. Locate the config file:

    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  2. Add the server configuration:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "databricks": {
          "command": "python",
          "args": ["path/to/your/weather-mcp-server/venv/test_mcp_cloud.py"],
          "env": {
            "DATABRICKS_SERVER_HOSTNAME": "your-workspace.databricks.com",
            "DATABRICKS_HTTP_PATH": "/sql/1.0/warehouses/your-warehouse-id",
            "DATABRICKS_TOKEN": "your-personal-access-token",
            "DATABRICKS_CATALOG": "your-catalog-name",
            "DATABRICKS_SCHEMA": "your-schema-name"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  3. Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server

  4. Test in Claude: Ask Claude to "list my Databricks tables" or "query my data"

Using with MCP Clients

The server provides these tools:

  • query_databricks(sql_query): Execute SELECT queries (auto-limits to 100 rows)

  • update_databricks(sql_command): Execute DML operations

  • list_cloud_tables(limit): List available tables

  • inspect_cloud_schema(table_name): Get table schema information

Example Usage

# Query data
result = query_databricks("SELECT * FROM customers WHERE region = 'US'")

# Update data
result = update_databricks("UPDATE customers SET status = 'active' WHERE id = 123")

# List tables
tables = list_cloud_tables(10)

# Get schema
schema = inspect_cloud_schema("customers")

Security Notes

  • Only SELECT queries are allowed in query_databricks

  • Only INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE are allowed in update_databricks

  • Table names are validated to prevent SQL injection

  • Results are truncated to prevent large payloads

  • Queries are automatically limited to 100 rows unless specified

Troubleshooting

  1. Connection fails: Check your .env file and token permissions

  2. No tables found: Verify catalog and schema names

  3. Inspector doesn't connect: Ensure correct file paths in commands

  4. Large result errors: The server automatically limits/truncates results
