# Google Cloud BigQuery — AI Connector Google Cloud BigQuery publishes 5 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/google-cloud-bigquery/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Data & Analytics](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/) # Google Cloud BigQuery BigQuery dataset discovery and SQL execution, published by Google Listed in Claude · 5 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/use-bigquery-mcp) [google.com](https://google.com) Overview ## What Google Cloud BigQuery does BigQuery is Google Cloud's analytical warehouse, and this connector comes from Google itself. It follows the path an analyst takes anyway: find the datasets in a project, read a dataset's metadata, list its tables, read a table's schema, then run SQL against it. Features the listing points at beyond ordinary aggregation, forecasting among them, are reached through SQL rather than through dedicated tools, so what the connector adds is access rather than new analysis. Connecting requires a Google Cloud project and credentials carrying the relevant BigQuery permissions, since every call is scoped to a project. It carries the partner tier. ### Who it is for Data analysts and engineers querying an existing BigQuery project. ### Tool surface Six tools answered, one more than the listing claims: four metadata reads walking from list\_dataset\_ids down to get\_table\_info, then two query paths, execute\_sql\_readonly and execute\_sql, whose own descriptions tell the caller to prefer the read-only one. Availability ## Where Google Cloud BigQuery is listed Google Cloud BigQuery is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Google 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 Google Cloud BigQuery publishes 5 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 22.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one sits 7 tools below its bucket's median, 151st of 198. It falls in the 4-6 tools band, which holds 16.2% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 6 tools, 1 more than the 5 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `list_dataset_ids` - `get_dataset_info` - `list_table_ids` - `get_table_info` - `execute_sql_readonly` - `execute_sql` Google Cloud BigQuery publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Google Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Data & Analytics Endpoint `https://bigquery.googleapis.com/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/use-bigquery-mcp) Published tools 5 · 4-6 tools band Depth rank in Data & Analytics 151 of 198 Snapshot August 2026 Google Cloud BigQuery 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 Google describes it > Integrate analytical data into your agent workflows to achieve superior business results. By connecting your agents with BigQuery, you can provide actionable insights directly to them. Move past standard analytics and utilize BigQuery's advanced features, such as forecasting, to generate higher-value intelligence.
