Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks. This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Snowflake Basic account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to run a SQL query for daily sales, list all tables in your warehouse, add a new record to customers table, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security. ## Also integrate Snowflake Basic with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/crew-ai) ## Connect Snowflake Basic to Claude Cowork ### Connecting Snowflake Basic to Claude Cowork 1. Open Customize In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top. 2. 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 Basic through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent. ## What is the Snowflake Basic MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Snowflake Basic 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 Basic account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Snowflake Basic operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SNOWFLAKE_BASIC_DESCRIBE_TABLE` | Describe table | Retrieves detailed information for each column (including name, data type, kind, nullability, default value, and key status) in a specified Snowflake table. | | `SNOWFLAKE_BASIC_EXPLORE_COLUMNS` | Explore Columns | Retrieves a sample of distinct values for specified columns from a Snowflake table. | | `SNOWFLAKE_BASIC_RUN_QUERY` | Run Query | Executes the given SQL query in Snowflake within the specified database and schema (which must exist and be accessible), automatically setting context first. | | `SNOWFLAKE_BASIC_SHOW_DATABASES` | Show databases | Retrieves a list of all databases available in the Snowflake account. | | `SNOWFLAKE_BASIC_SHOW_SCHEMAS` | Show schemas | Retrieves a list of all schemas within a specified Snowflake database. | | `SNOWFLAKE_BASIC_SHOW_TABLES` | Show Tables | Retrieves a list of tables, including their row counts and sizes in bytes, from a specified schema within a Snowflake database. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Snowflake Basic MCP server connects Claude Cowork to your Snowflake Basic account through Composio. Once connected, Cowork can use the available Snowflake Basic tools and triggers to complete tasks on your behalf. ## Complete Code None listed. ## How to build Snowflake Basic MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/chatgpt) - [Antigravity](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/antigravity) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/claude-code) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/snowflake_basic/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Firecrawl](https://composio.dev/toolkits/firecrawl) - Firecrawl automates large-scale web crawling and data extraction.

With a standalone Snowflake Basic MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Snowflake Basic tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Snowflake Basic 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 Basic tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Snowflake Basic while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Snowflake Basic 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 Basic data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
