### Connecting to MCP Clients
#### Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"datapilot": {

"env": {
"SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT": "your_account",
"SNOWFLAKE_USER": "your_user",
"SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD": "your_password",
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "your_openai_key"
}
}
}
}
```
#### Using FastMCP Client
```python
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
```python
# 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
```python
# 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
```python
# 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
```python
# 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`:
```python
@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"
```
2. Add appropriate error handling and logging
3. Test with FastMCP dev mode: `fastmcp dev src/main.py`
### Adding New Resources
```python
@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:
```env
LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
```

Scored across 13 tools
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity. For example, 'execute_sql' runs queries while 'explain_query' describes them, and 'list_databases' enumerates databases whereas 'describe_table' provides column details. The tools cover different aspects of the data workflow without overlap.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case, such as 'list_databases', 'execute_sql', and 'generate_table_insights'. This uniformity makes the toolset predictable and easy to navigate, with no deviations in naming conventions.
With 13 tools, the count is well-scoped for a Snowflake data management server. Each tool serves a specific function in querying, listing, analyzing, or optimizing data, and none appear redundant, fitting the domain appropriately.
The toolset provides complete coverage for data exploration and SQL workflows, including listing resources (databases, schemas, tables), executing and explaining queries, generating insights, and optimizing performance. There are no obvious gaps, enabling agents to handle end-to-end tasks without dead ends.
