The short version

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is designed to interact with Databricks, with a strong focus on leveraging Unity Catalog (UC) metadata and enabling comprehensive data lineage exploration. The primary goal is to equip an AI agent with a comprehensive set of tools, enabling it to become independent in answering questions about your data. By autonomously exploring UC, understanding data structures, analyzing data lineage (including notebook and job dependencies), and executing SQL queries, the agent can fulfill data requests without direct human intervention for each step.
