Connect Databricks to Your AI Agent

One MCP connection. Full lakehouse context. No more SQL bottlenecks — just ask.

Read: Instant Answers from Databricks

Stop writing ad-hoc SQL and waiting for notebook runs. Ask your AI agent to query Unity Catalog tables, explore Delta Lake schemas, surface data quality issues, and pull business metrics — across any catalog, schema, or workspace.

Your AI agent reads harmonized data across 500+ platforms. "Cost" in Google Ads and "spend" in Meta Ads resolve to the same field automatically.

Example prompts
"Show anomalies across all accounts" 2h → 40s
"CPL in New York vs. California?" 1h → 30s
"ROAS by campaign type, last 30 days" 45m → 15s
Works with Claude ChatGPT Cursor +5
Write actions
"Launch A/B test, $5K budget" 5 days → 20m
"Shift 20% of Display to PMax" 2h → 1m
"Pause all ad groups with CPA > $50" 30m → 10s

Write: Automate Databricks Operations

Go beyond querying. Your AI agent can trigger pipeline runs, update table properties, create jobs, and modify Unity Catalog metadata — from a single prompt, without opening the Databricks UI.

250+ governance rules enforce naming conventions, budget limits, and KPI thresholds. SOC 2 Type II certified.

⚠️ Monitor

Monitor: Catch Databricks Pipeline Issues Before They Reach Dashboards

Set AI-powered watches on pipeline health, data quality metrics, and table freshness. Get proactive alerts when row counts drop, null rates spike, or jobs fail — before downstream reports are impacted.

Automated weekly reports, anomaly flagging, and budget alerts — all from a single conversation. No more morning check-ins across 5 dashboards.

Monitor prompts
"Flag ad groups over 120% budget" 3h → 1m
"Weekly report: spend, CPA, anomalies" 3h → auto
"Which creatives are fatiguing?" 2h → 30s

The Closed Loop: Read → Decide → Write → Monitor

Go beyond querying. Your AI agent can trigger pipeline runs, update table properties, create jobs, and modify Unity Catalog metadata — from a single prompt, without opening the Databricks UI.

Every phase runs through the same MCP connection. One protocol, all platforms, full governance. No switching between tools.

Challenge 1

Data Harmonization Issues Are Hard to Diagnose

THE PROBLEM

When custom field mappings and standard Improvado conversions both write to the same Databricks destination, fields don't appear as expected. Diagnosing whether the issue is in the extraction, transformation, or load layer requires querying multiple tables and tracing lineage — a task that can consume an entire day.

HOW MCP SOLVES IT

Ask your AI agent to trace a specific field through the pipeline layers: raw → staged → harmonized. It identifies where the value drops off or gets overwritten, and returns the root cause with the relevant table and column.

Try asking
"Show ROAS across all 120 accounts"

Challenge 2

Null Campaign and Ad Names Break Attribution Models

THE PROBLEM

When LinkedIn campaign names or ad names arrive as null in the Databricks destination, attribution models silently misattribute spend. Identifying the scope — which accounts, which date ranges, which connectors — requires querying raw and harmonized tables and joining them with account metadata.

HOW MCP SOLVES IT

Ask your AI agent to quantify the null name issue across all accounts and date ranges in one prompt. It surfaces the affected records, scopes the impact on attribution, and identifies whether the issue is upstream (connector) or downstream (transformation).

Challenge 3

POC Validation Across Databricks and Azure Requires Parallel Access

THE PROBLEM

Running a proof-of-concept that spans Databricks and Azure services means querying both environments, comparing schemas, validating data consistency, and documenting findings — typically across multiple tools and windows. The coordination overhead slows down POC cycles significantly.

HOW MCP SOLVES IT

Ask your AI agent to query both Databricks and Azure data sources in the same session. It validates schema alignment, checks row count parity, and produces a POC readiness report — without switching tools or environments.

Try asking
"PMax vs. Search ROAS for Q1?"

👥 Teams

One Framework. Five Roles. Zero Setup.

Same MCP connection, different workflows for every team member. Agency CEOs get portfolio health. Media Strategists get campaign QA. Analysts get cross-platform reports. Account Managers get auto-generated QBR decks. Creative Directors get performance-based briefs.

Each role asks in natural language. The MCP server handles the complexity — rate limits, auth, schema normalization, governance — behind the scenes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Databricks MCP?
+

Databricks MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that connects your Databricks lakehouse — including Unity Catalog, Delta Lake tables, jobs, and pipelines — to AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. It lets you query and manage Databricks in natural language.

Which Databricks resources can I access through the MCP server?
+

Unity Catalog tables and schemas, Delta Lake data, Databricks SQL warehouses, job runs and pipeline statuses, cluster metadata, and workspace configuration. Queries execute against your existing Databricks SQL warehouse.

Can the AI agent run write operations or only queries?
+

Both. Read operations cover querying tables, exploring schemas, and checking job statuses. Write operations include triggering job runs, creating and updating tables, modifying Unity Catalog tags and properties, and inserting data. All operations require appropriate Databricks service principal permissions.

How does the MCP server connect to Databricks — does it use my existing cluster?
+

Improvado connects via Databricks SQL warehouse using your workspace URL, personal access token or service principal credentials. Queries run on your existing warehouse — no additional compute is provisioned by Improvado.

Is my Databricks data secure through the MCP server?
+

Yes. Improvado stores all Databricks credentials in an encrypted vault certified to SOC 2 Type II. The AI model never has direct access to your lakehouse — requests are proxied through Improvado's secure layer with prompt injection protection.

How quickly can I set this up?
+

Under 5 minutes. Provide your Databricks workspace URL and access token, add the MCP server URL to your config, and start querying. No infrastructure changes required on your Databricks side.
