[![CI](https://github.com/Umarfarook1/mcp-bigquery-evals/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Umarfarook1/mcp-bigquery-evals/actions/workflows/ci.yml) 
 
## What it is 
 
A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code explore and query a BigQuery warehouse safely. 
 
- **7 read-only tools** for warehouse discovery + querying 
- **Mandatory dry-run cost cap** on every `run_query` (default 100 MB scanned, ≈ $0.0005) 
- **Built-in eval harness** with result-set-equivalence methodology — every release ships an accuracy number, not a vibe 
 
Two clients ship in the box: `RealBigQueryClient` (production) and `FakeBigQueryClient` (in-memory, sqlite-backed; for dev and CI without GCP credentials). 
 
## Quickstart (5 minutes) 
 
### 1. Install 
 
```bash 
uvx mcp-bigquery-evals --help 
``` 
 
(Or `pip install mcp-bigquery-evals` if you prefer.) 
 
### 2. Authenticate to GCP 
 
```bash 
gcloud auth application-default login 
``` 
 
### 3. Add to `claude_desktop_config.json` 
 
Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add: 
 
```json 
{ 
  "mcpServers": { 
    "bigquery": { 
      "command": "uvx", 
      "args": ["mcp-bigquery-evals", "serve"], 
      "env": { 
        "BIGQUERY_PROJECT": "your-personal-gcp-project-id" 
      } 
    } 
  } 
} 
``` 
 
Restart Claude Desktop. You should see "bigquery" with 7 tools in the MCP indicator. 
 
### 4. Try it 
 
Ask Claude: 
> "Using the bigquery tool, find the top 5 most-viewed Stack Overflow questions tagged 'python'." 
 
Claude will use …
