Snowflake MCP — Auth Setup

This MCP requires API key. Follow your provider's documentation to obtain them.

1. Get your credentials

Visit the Snowflake MCP documentation or developer dashboard to generate API key. Never paste credentials into our site — add them directly to your shell environment.

2. Set environment variables

macOS / Linux — add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

export SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT=YOUR_VALUE_HERE
export SNOWFLAKE_USER=YOUR_VALUE_HERE
export SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD=YOUR_VALUE_HERE
export SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE=YOUR_VALUE_HERE

Windows — run in Command Prompt (then restart your terminal):

setx SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT "YOUR_VALUE_HERE"
setx SNOWFLAKE_USER "YOUR_VALUE_HERE"
setx SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD "YOUR_VALUE_HERE"
setx SNOWFLAKE_WAREHOUSE "YOUR_VALUE_HERE"

3. Verify

npx claude-skills doctor
