snowsyncmd-mcp 1.1.0

MCP server for the SnowSyncMD Snowflake Native App — exposes schema docs, structured object search, column inspection, and real-time annotations as Claude tools

SnowSyncMD MCP Server

Connects Claude Code directly to your SnowSyncMD app so Claude can read Snowflake schema documentation automatically — no copy-pasting, no manual downloads.

How it works

You ask Claude: "Write a query joining ORDERS to CUSTOMERS"
       ↓
Claude calls MCP tool: snowflake_get_schema("MY_DB", "SALES", "ORDERS")
Claude calls MCP tool: snowflake_get_schema("MY_DB", "SALES", "CUSTOMERS")
       ↓
Claude gets the column list from SnowSyncMD
       ↓
Claude writes the correct query with real column names

No live Snowflake queries. No manual schema exports. Claude reads the pre-built Markdown files that SnowSyncMD keeps up to date every 10 minutes.

Installation

pip install mcp snowflake-connector-python python-dotenv

---

Configuration

Add to your Claude Code settings (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snowsyncmd": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/snowsyncmd_mcp.py"],
      "env": {
        "SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT":  "your-account-identifier",
        "SNOWFLAKE_USER":     "your_username",
        "SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD": "your_password",
        "SNOWFLAKE_ROLE":     "ACCOUNTADMIN",
        "SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE": "COMPUTE_WH",
        "SNOWSYNCMD_APP":     "snowsyncmd"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: Set credentials via a .env file in the same directory instead of hardcoding them in settings.json.

Available tools

Claude sees these tools and calls them automatically:

Tool	What it does
snowflake_get_schema	Returns the full MD doc for one object (table, view, function…)
snowflake_search_schema	Searches by keyword across all schema docs
snowflake_list_objects	Lists every tracked object with DB/schema/type
snowflake_get_status	Shows sync health, registered databases, last sync time
snowflake_sync	Triggers an immediate sync (all DBs or one)

---

Example conversations

You:    "What columns does the FACT_ORDERS table have?"
Claude: [calls snowflake_get_schema] → returns column list with types
Claude: "FACT_ORDERS has 14 columns: ORDER_SK (NUMBER), ORDER_ID (NUMBER), ..."

You:    "Write a query to show monthly revenue by channel"
Claude: [calls snowflake_search_schema "revenue"] → finds FACT_ORDERS, V_DAILY_SALES
Claude: [calls snowflake_get_schema for V_DAILY_SALES]
Claude: "Here's a query using V_DAILY_SALES which already aggregates by channel: ..."

You:    "Is the schema documentation up to date?"
Claude: [calls snowflake_get_status]
Claude: "Last synced 3 minutes ago. 180 objects tracked across 2 databases."

You:    "I just added a new table — refresh the docs"
Claude: [calls snowflake_sync]
Claude: "Sync complete. 1 new object found and documented."

Using with Claude Code hooks (optional)

Add a UserPromptSubmit hook to auto-check sync status before each session:

~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Bash",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "echo 'Snowflake schema docs available via snowsyncmd MCP tools'"
      }]
    }]
  }
}
