### Description (declared)

# Greybeam MCP

A single MCP server that lets agents query data through the Greybeam routing layer with Snowflake-compatible tooling.

- `run_snowflake_query` — executes SQL via the Greybeam proxy (Snowflake protocol).
- `cortex_analyst` — calls Snowflake Cortex Analyst; any returned SQL is executed via Greybeam.
- `cortex_search` — delegated to the pinned upstream Snowflake MCP (no SQL, REST only).

Out of scope for v1: Cortex Agent, semantic views, and the upstream `object_manager` / `query_manager` / `semantic_manager` tool families. These are locked off in the child config so a misconfigured deployment can't accidentally expose them.

## Quick start

Install and run the setup wizard with [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):

    uvx greybeam-mcp init

The `init` wizard prompts for account, user, proxy host, and auth method;
writes a config file at `~/.config/greybeam-mcp.yaml` (mode 0600); and prints
the exact registration command for Claude Code and Claude Desktop.

For a packaged install, the printed command uses this form:

    claude mcp add greybeam -- uvx greybeam-mcp --config ~/.config/greybeam-mcp.yaml

## Manual install and run

If you'd rather author the YAML by hand, copy `examples/greybeam.yaml` to a
location of your choice, edit it, `chmod 600` it, then:

    uvx greybeam-mcp --config /absolute/path/to/greybeam.yaml

From a source checkout, use `uv run` instead:

    uv run greybeam-mcp --config /absolute/path/to/greybeam.yaml

## Configuration

The YAML is the single source of truth — it holds account, proxy host, **and**
auth credentials. Pick one auth method (in order of recommendation):

- `private_key_file` (path to a PEM key, plus optional `private_key_passphrase`) — **recommended**, since Snowflake is deprecating password auth
- `private_key` (inline PEM contents) — for environments without a writable disk
- `authenticator: externalbrowser` for SSO (requires a SAML2 integration on the account)
- `password` — deprecated by Snowflake, avoid for…
