Add the Composio MCP server Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL: ```bash https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is Claude Cowork? Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools. With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Snowflake through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Snowflake MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Snowflake MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Snowflake account. It provides structured and secure access to your cloud data warehouse, so your agent can run complex SQL queries, monitor system health, check scheduled maintenances, and manage incidents seamlessly—no manual intervention needed. - Automated SQL execution and data retrieval: Direct your agent to execute SQL statements and instantly fetch query results from your data warehouse. - Query management and cancellation: Have your agent monitor and cancel long-running or stuck SQL statements to keep your workflows running smoothly. - Maintenance and system status monitoring: Let your agent check for active, upcoming, or completed scheduled maintenances and get real-time updates on system components. - Incident detection and reporting: Enable your agent to retrieve unresolved incidents and receive summaries of any issues currently affecting your Snowflake environment. - Integration metadata access: Fetch details about catalog integrations and system status rollups so your agent can keep tabs on the overall health of your Snowflake setup. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SNOWFLAKE_CANCEL_STATEMENT_EXECUTION` | Cancel Statement Execution | Cancels the execution of a running SQL statement. Use this action to stop a long-running query. | | `SNOWFLAKE_CHECK_STATEMENT_STATUS` | Check Statement Status | Retrieves the status and results of a previously submitted SQL statement using its statement handle. Use this to poll async queries submitted via SNOWFLAKE_SUBMIT_SQL_STATEMENT; call repeatedly until status is no longer pending. Use SNOWFLAKE_CANCEL_STATEMENT to abort a hanging query. | | `SNOWFLAKE_EXECUTE_SQL` | Execute SQL | Execute SQL statements in Snowflake and retrieve results. Supports SELECT queries for data retrieval, DDL statements (CREATE, ALTER, DROP) for schema management, and DML statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) for data modification. Returns comprehensive result metadata including column types, row counts, and execution status. Unquoted SQL identifiers are auto-uppercased by Snowflake — use matching case in `database`, `schema_name`, `warehouse`, and `role` parameters to avoid 'object not found' errors. Always apply explicit time-range filters and a LIMIT clause to unbounded SELECT queries to prevent large, slow result sets. | | `SNOWFLAKE_FETCH_CATALOG_INTEGRATION` | Fetch Catalog Integration | Retrieves detailed configuration and metadata for a specific catalog integration. Catalog integrations allow Snowflake to connect to external Apache Iceberg catalogs (AWS Glue, Snowflake Open Catalog/Polaris, or Apache Iceberg REST catalogs) to query Iceberg tables managed by those external systems. | | `SNOWFLAKE_GET_ACTIVE_SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCES` | Get Active Scheduled Maintenances | Retrieves a list of any active scheduled maintenances currently in the In Progress or Verifying state. | | `SNOWFLAKE_GET_ALL_SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCES` | Get All Scheduled Maintenances | Retrieves a list of the 50 most recent scheduled maintenances, including those in the Completed state. | | `SNOWFLAKE_GET_COMPONENT_STATUS` | Get Component Status | Retrieves the status of individual components, each listed with its current status. | | `SNOWFLAKE_GET_STATUS_ROLLUP` | Get Status Rollup | Retrieves the status rollup for the entire page, including indicators and human-readable descriptions of the blended component status. | | `SNOWFLAKE_GET_STATUS_SUMMARY` | Get Status Summary | Retrieves the current status summary from Snowflake's public status page (status.snowflake.com). Returns overall system status, operational status of all regional components (AWS, Azure, GCP regions), any unresolved incidents, and upcoming or in-progress scheduled maintenances. This is a public endpoint that provides global Snowflake service status, not account-specific information. | | `SNOWFLAKE_GET_UNRESOLVED_INCIDENTS` | Get Unresolved Incidents | Retrieves a list of any unresolved incidents from the Snowflake status page. This endpoint returns incidents currently in the Investigating, Identified, or Monitoring state. Returns an empty list if there are no active incidents. This is a public status page API that does not require authentication. | | `SNOWFLAKE_GET_UPCOMING_SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCES` | Get Upcoming Scheduled Maintenances | Retrieves upcoming scheduled maintenances from Snowflake's public status page. This action queries the Snowflake status API to get a list of any scheduled maintenance events that are still in the 'Scheduled' state (not yet started or completed). The response includes maintenance details such as impact level, scheduled time windows, incident updates, and direct links to the maintenance notices. Note: This uses Snowflake's public status API and does not require authentication. | | `SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_DATABASES` | Show Databases | Lists all databases for which you have access privileges. Shows database metadata including name, creation date, owner, retention time, and more. Can filter results and include dropped databases within Time Travel retention period. | | `SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_SCHEMAS` | Show Schemas | Lists all schemas for which you have access privileges. Shows schema metadata including name, creation date, owner, database, retention time, and more. Can filter results and include dropped schemas within Time Travel retention period. | | `SNOWFLAKE_SHOW_TABLES` | Show Tables | Lists all tables for which you have access privileges. Shows table metadata including name, creation date, owner, database, schema, row count, size in bytes, clustering keys, and more. Can filter results and include dropped tables within Time Travel retention period. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Snowflake MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Snowflake account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Snowflake tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Snowflake MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Firecrawl](https://composio.dev/toolkits/firecrawl) - Firecrawl automates large-scale web crawling and data extraction.

With a standalone Snowflake MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Snowflake tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Snowflake and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork? Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Snowflake tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Snowflake while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Snowflake scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Snowflake data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
