Official Google Cloud remote MCP server for BigQuery. Execute SQL, list datasets and tables, and pull query results from any MCP client with IAM-managed access.
How to connect BigQuery MCP Server
Step 1
Remote server — paste a URL
BigQuery MCP Server publishes a remote (Streamable HTTP) endpoint, so nothing is installed locally. Add it as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT or your IDE and paste the endpoint below.
Endpoint
https://bigquery.googleapis.com/mcp
Client config snippet
{
"mcpServers": {
"bigquery-mcp": {
"url": "https://bigquery.googleapis.com/mcp"
}
}
}Step 2
Authenticate with OAuth
Your client opens a browser sign-in with the vendor. Approve only the scopes you need, and use a read-only account first when the platform offers one.
Step 3
Verify, then widen access
Restart your client, confirm the server's tools appear, and run one read-only question first. Keep client-side approval prompts on for any tool that can write, trade or send. Confirm with your firm's compliance policy before connecting systems holding client data.
