Mcp Snowflake Server

Please install the `mcp-snowflake-server` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install uv** — Install the uv tool, which provides uvx for running the published MCP server package. Run: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` (https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh/)
- **Install Python 3.13+** — Python 3.13 or newer is required by the package and is used by the recommended uvx invocation. (https://www.python.org/)
- **Create a Snowflake connection configuration** — Create either a TOML connections file (recommended) or set Snowflake authentication environment variables. The recommended setup is a TOML file with one or more named connections, then pass --connections-file and --connection-name. (https://github.com/nsphung/mcp-snowflake-server/blob/main/example_connections.toml)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `uvx`
- args: ["--python=3.13","--from","mcp-snowflake-server-nsp","mcp_snowflake_server","--connections-file","<absolute-path-to-snowflake_connections.toml>","--connection-name","<connection-name>"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT`: Snowflake account identifier when configuring via environment variables instead of a TOML connections file. (example: `<your-snowflake-account>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_USER`: Snowflake username when configuring via environment variables or for TOML-based profiles that use user authentication. (example: `<your-snowflake-user>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD`: Snowflake password for password authentication. Required when authenticator is snowflake and not using TOML. (example: `<your-snowflake-password>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_AUTHENTICATOR`: Authentication method. Examples include snowflake, snowflake_jwt, externalbrowser, oauth_client_credentials, or oauth. (example: `<your-authenticator>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE`: Snowflake virtual warehouse to use when configuring via environment variables. (example: `<your-warehouse>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_DATABASE`: Default Snowflake database. Required when configuring directly via environment variables. (example: `<your-database>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_SCHEMA`: Default Snowflake schema. Required when configuring directly via environment variables. (example: `<your-schema>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_ROLE`: Snowflake role to assume. (example: `<your-role>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE`: Absolute path to a .p8 private key file for key-pair authentication. (example: `<absolute-path-to-private-key-file>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_PWD`: Passphrase for an encrypted private key file. (example: `<your-private-key-passphrase>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`: OAuth client ID for oauth_client_credentials authentication. (example: `<your-oauth-client-id>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`: OAuth client secret for oauth_client_credentials authentication. (example: `<your-oauth-client-secret>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_OAUTH_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL`: OAuth token endpoint URL for oauth_client_credentials authentication. (example: `<your-oauth-token-request-url>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_OAUTH_SCOPE`: OAuth scope for oauth_client_credentials authentication. (example: `<your-oauth-scope>`)
  - `SNOWFLAKE_TOKEN`: Pre-fetched OAuth bearer token for oauth authentication. (example: `<your-oauth-bearer-token>`)

Note: Preferred portable install path is uvx with the published PyPI package mcp-snowflake-server-nsp. The README recommends TOML connection files over direct env/CLI credentials. --connections-file and --connection-name must be provided together. Optional runtime flags include --allow_write, --prefetch/--no-prefetch, --exclude_tools, --exclude-json-results, --log_dir, and --log_level. If not using a TOML file, the server can also be configured with direct CLI flags or SNOWFLAKE_* environment variables; required env vars depend on the chosen authenticator.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
