Snow Leopard BigQuery MCP <!-- mcp-name: io.github.SnowLeopard-AI/bigquery-mcp -->
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Google BigQuery that enables AI agents to interact with BigQuery databases through natural language queries and schema exploration.
This project was developed by Snow Leopard AI as a benchmarking tool for our platform, and we're making it publicly available for the community to use and build upon.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely connect to external data sources and tools. This BigQuery MCP server acts as a bridge between AI agents and your BigQuery datasets.
