Frequently asked questions

What is the BigQuery MCP server?

The BigQuery MCP server is an Databases Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents run SQL queries and manage BigQuery datasets from AI agents with serverless scale. It exposes BigQuery's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.

How do I install BigQuery MCP with Claude Code?

The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install bigquery` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y @google-cloud/bigquery-mcp` and restarting Claude Code.

Is BigQuery MCP free?

Yes. The BigQuery MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a BigQuery account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.

Does BigQuery MCP work with Cursor and Windsurf?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.

What can I do with BigQuery MCP?

Once installed, your AI agent can run SQL queries and manage BigQuery datasets from AI agents with serverless scale directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run BigQuery operations, inspect results, chain BigQuery with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive databases tasks without leaving your editor.
