# Databricks MCP server

Checked September 2026.

Whatever tables a brand's data team has loaded into Unity Catalog, such as orders, customers, or marketing spend, sit behind Databricks' Genie servers. Genie One takes a plain-language question, writes and runs the SQL, and answers with links to its sources; the SQL server, in preview, runs queries against the same tables.

## Databricks MCP options

Every fact in a row comes from the publisher's own documentation.

## One MCP server per tool still can't answer a cross-channel question.

Each server brings its own sign-in, its own definition of revenue, and data your assistant can't join to the rest.

SourceMedium connects 63 commerce and marketing sources, keeps one set of maintained definitions, and gives ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants a single connection to all of it. Databricks is not a SourceMedium source today.
