Google Cloud BigQuery

Cursor plugin that connects agents to Google Cloud BigQuery through Google Cloud BigQuery's official remote Model Context Protocol server.

Explore datasets and tables and run SQL queries.

Install

Open Cursor Settings → Plugins.
Search for Google Cloud BigQuery.
Click Install, then complete the Google Cloud BigQuery sign-in prompt.

Or run /add-plugin google-cloud-bigquery in chat.

    }
  }
}

Auth is OAuth. Cursor prompts for Google Cloud BigQuery sign-in when the plugin connects — there is no client ID or personal access token to configure.

Before you connect

You need a Google Cloud project with the BigQuery API enabled, and your Google account needs the MCP Tool User role (roles/mcp.toolUser) plus BigQuery Job User and Data Viewer on that project.

What agents can do

Category	Capabilities
Explore	List datasets and tables and read their metadata and schemas
Query	Run read-only SQL, including BigQuery ML functions
Write	Run DML and DDL when the account allows it
Jobs	Poll results and cancel running query jobs

The hosted runtime is the source of truth for tool names and schemas.

Notes

Queries are billed to the project id passed to the tool.
Admins can block the write-capable execute_sql tool with an IAM deny policy while leaving read-only queries available.
Grok also offers this connector with service-identity auth; this plugin configures only the user OAuth flow.
