• 1

  Discover and list available Unity Catalog functions within a specific catalog and schema to decide which function to call.

Description

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps Unity Catalog Functions and provides predefined tools (list/get/create/delete/execute) for programmatic function management. It supports configuration via CLI or environment variables and can be run with uv or Docker, making it easy to integrate with agent platforms like Claude Desktop or VSCode. The server is useful for automating function lifecycle tasks in a Unity Catalog catalog/schema and for enabling agents to invoke catalog-registered Python functions. Note: some APIs (create_function) are marked experimental and the server expects catalog and schema to be provided at startup.
