Official serverLocalDatabases

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snowflake": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "snowflake-labs-mcp",
        "--service-config-file",
        "SERVICE_CONFIG_FILE"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Snowflake runs locally; set any credentials Snowflake Labs asks for before starting Cursor.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something Snowflake can do. Query Snowflake, use Cortex Search and Analyst, and manage objects. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
