Snowflake Plugin for Cursor

Connect Cursor to Snowflake through the Snowflake-managed MCP server.

What's Included

• MCP Server config (mcp.json) — Pre-configured template for connecting to a Snowflake MCP server using Programmatic Access Tokens (PAT)
• Setup skill — Step-by-step instructions for creating a PAT, finding your MCP server URL, and configuring the connection

Quick Start

1. Create a Programmatic Access Token in Snowsight (Settings → Authentication → Programmatic Access Tokens) or via SQL.

2. Find your MCP server URL — it follows the format:

   https://<account_url>/api/v2/databases/<database>/schemas/<schema>/mcp-servers/<server_name>
   

3. Update mcp.json with your URL and token.

Capabilities

Once connected, your Cursor agent can use any tools exposed by your Snowflake MCP server:

Tool Type	Description
Cortex Search	Unstructured search over documents and data
Cortex Analyst	Natural language to SQL using semantic views
SQL Execution	Run SQL queries directly on Snowflake
Cortex Agents	Multi-step agentic workflows
