# Set up BigQuery

Google-hosted endpoint to explore BigQuery datasets and run SQL. Cloud SQL and Spanner have their own.

- **Publisher**: Google Cloud Official
- **Hosted endpoint**: `https://bigquery.googleapis.com/mcp`
- **Transports**: streamable-http
- **Authentication**: Google OAuth with the BigQuery scope; IAM decides what the agent may do.
- **What it can touch**: Read and write, governed by IAM.
- **Status**: Active

## Install

The vendor hosts this server, so you only add its URL and nothing runs on your machine. If it needs authentication, the row above says how; OAuth servers prompt you on first connection.

### Claude Code

`shell`

```
claude mcp add --transport http --scope project google-bigquery https://bigquery.googleapis.com/mcp
```

### Cursor

`.cursor/mcp.json`

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-bigquery": {
      "url": "https://bigquery.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex

`~/.codex/config.toml`

```
[mcp_servers.google-bigquery]
url = "https://bigquery.googleapis.com/mcp"
```
