Add the Snowflake MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
Query Snowflake, use Cortex Search and Analyst, and manage objects.
1. Add the server
Run in your terminal
code --add-mcp '{"name":"snowflake","command":"uvx","args":["snowflake-labs-mcp","--service-config-file","SERVICE_CONFIG_FILE"]}'2. Sign in
VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Snowflake runs locally; set any credentials Snowflake Labs asks for before starting VS Code (GitHub Copilot).
3. Try it
Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) 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.
- · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
- · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.
