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

        "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
