BigQuery MCP server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides access to BigQuery. This server enables LLMs to inspect database schemas and execute queries.

Components

Tools

The server implements one tool:

  • execute-query: Executes a SQL query using BigQuery dialect
  • list-tables: Lists all tables in the BigQuery database
  • describe-table: Describes the schema of a specific table

Configuration

The server can be configured either with command line arguments or environment variables.

ArgumentEnvironment VariableRequiredDescription
--projectBIGQUERY_PROJECTYesThe GCP project ID.
--locationBIGQUERY_LOCATIONYesThe GCP location (e.g. europe-west9).
--datasetBIGQUERY_DATASETSNoOnly take specific BigQuery datasets into consideration. Several datasets can be specified by repeating the argument (e.g. --dataset my_dataset_1 --dataset my_dataset_2) or by joining them with a comma in the environment variable (e.g. BIGQUERY_DATASETS=my_dataset_1,my_dataset_2). If not provided, all datasets in the project will be considered.
--key-fileBIGQUERY_KEY_FILENoPath to a service account key file for BigQuery. If not provided, the server will use the default credentials.
--timeoutBIGQUERY_TIMEOUTNoMaximum time in seconds to wait for a query to complete. If not provided, queries will wait indefinitely.
