### Description (declared)

# ae-mcp

A small, fast MCP server for Snowflake. Four tools, one file, browser SSO auth.

## Auth

Authenticates via `externalbrowser` SSO. The connector caches the SSO ID token
locally (in the OS keyring, via the `secure-local-storage` extra), so the browser
only opens when the cached token expires — not on every server restart. Caching
requires this once on the account (ask an admin if it isn't already set):

```sql
ALTER ACCOUNT SET ALLOW_ID_TOKEN = TRUE;
```

While the server process is running, `CLIENT_SESSION_KEEP_ALIVE` holds the session
open indefinitely — you won't be re-prompted mid-session.

## Install

Windows and macOS (Python 3.11+):

```bash
python -m pip install --user ae-mcp
```

Or:

```bash
uv tool install ae-mcp
```

## Configure (Cursor / Claude Desktop / Claude Code)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ae-mcp": {
      "command": "ae-mcp",
      "env": {
        "SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT": "myorg-myaccount",
        "SNOWFLAKE_USER": "me@example.com",
        "SNOWFLAKE_ROLE": "ANALYST_ROLE",
        "SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE": "COMPUTE_WH",
        "SNOWFLAKE_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE": "false"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

`SNOWFLAKE_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE` is shown explicitly above as a reminder — it's
`false` (read-only) by default even if omitted entirely.

Optional env: `SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE`, `SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA`.

## Tools

| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `snowflake_query` | Run SQL; results capped (default 50 rows, max 1000), wide cells truncated |
| `snowflake_list_objects` | `SHOW TERSE` databases/schemas/tables/views/warehouses/roles with LIKE filter |
| `snowflake_describe_table` | Column definitions (metadata-only, no warehouse compute) |
| `snowflake_session_info` | Current user/role/warehouse/db + connection age |

## Performance notes

- One lazy connection, kept alive with `CLIENT_SESSION_KEEP_ALIVE`, reused across calls; auto-reconnects once on session expiry.
- Blocking connector calls run in a worker thread — the MCP event loop never stalls.
- `SHOW TERSE` / `DE…
