## Introduction

### How to integrate Snowflake MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Snowflake account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can run a SQL query to list today's new users, cancel a long-running data import statement, show all unresolved incidents in Snowflake, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Snowflake integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Snowflake to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Snowflake account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Snowflake to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

## 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. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Snowflake MCP server?

A standalone Snowflake MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Snowflake tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Snowflake and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Snowflake data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Snowflake data and credentials are handled to that standard.
