Databricks
Managed and custom MCP servers over Unity Catalog data and tools
Overview
What Databricks does
Databricks describes two arrangements rather than one server. The managed option is ready to use and lets agents query data and call tools registered in Unity Catalog. Because Unity Catalog permissions apply to an agent the same way they apply to a person, the access an agent gets is the access its identity already had.
The custom option hosts a server of the customer's own as a Databricks app, which also covers running a third-party server inside the same boundary. This connector carries the partner tier, meaning it passed a review step rather than being self-published, and Databricks publishes documentation.
Tool surface
The listing publishes no endpoint URL, so there was nothing to connect to and three is the published count. Databricks describes two shapes instead: ready-made managed servers, and custom servers hosted as a Databricks app.
Availability
Where Databricks is listed
Databricks is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Databricks has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Databricks publishes 3 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 11.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one sits 9 tools below its bucket's median, 181st of 198.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
Databricks's Claude listing does not publish an endpoint URL. 48 of the 1,253 Claude listings are in the same position: real listings with documentation but no URL in the directory record, so the endpoint has to come from the publisher's own docs.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Databricks carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
How Databricks describes it
Databricks offers two flavors of MCP servers: Managed servers and custom servers. Managed MCP servers: Databricks has ready-to-use servers that let agents query data and access tools in Unity Catalog. Unity Catalog permissions are always enforced, so agents and users can only access the tools and data they're allowed to. Custom MCP servers: Securely host your own MCP server as a Databricks app to bring your own server or run a third-party MCP server
