  Inspect Iceberg table schemas and metadata in a read-only fashion before forming queries or explanations.

• 2

  Run read-only analytical SQL queries against Iceberg data via an Impala coordinator and receive results as JSON.

• 3

  An easy-to-integrate MCP endpoint for tools like Claude Desktop or AI frameworks using stdio, HTTP, or SSE transports.

Description

This MCP server exposes Iceberg table schemas and enables read-only SQL queries executed on an Impala coordinator, returning results as JSON. It is designed to integrate with agents and tools (for example Claude Desktop) and supports multiple transports (stdio, http, sse). Configuration is handled via environment variables for Impala connection details, and example integrations for AI frameworks are included. The server is useful for safe, auditable inspection of data without allowing write operations.
