You can securely access Snowflake databases in read‑only mode through the MCP Snowflake Reader. This server lets you query Snowflake data using the MCP protocol while guaranteeing that only read operations are performed.

How to use

Configure your MCP client to connect to the Snowflake Reader using one of the available local runtimes. You can run the server through Docker or UVX, passing a JSON connection descriptor that contains your Snowflake credentials and context. Once connected, you can perform read-only queries against Snowflake tables that your role permits.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation:

Node.js and npm installed on your machine for CLI tools
Docker or UVX if you plan to run the server locally via those runtimes

Step 1. Install via Smithery for Claude Desktop

npx -y @smithery/cli install @fnf-deepHeading/mcp-snowflake-reader --client claude
