MCP Databricks Server Overview

The JordiNei/mcp-databricks-server MCP server connects an MCP-compatible LLM to Databricks through a Python process. It can execute SQL against a configured Databricks SQL warehouse and inspect workspace jobs, including their status and details. Configuration uses a Databricks host, personal access token, and SQL warehouse HTTP path supplied through environment variables. Reach for it when an agent needs to query Databricks data or review job operations from a natural-language interface.
