Cloudera Iceberg MCP Server (via Impala)
This is a A Model Context Protocol server that provides read-only access to Iceberg tables via Apache Impala. This server enables LLMs to inspect database schemas and execute read-only queries.
- execute_query(query: str): Run any SQL query on Impala and return the results as JSON.
- get_schema(): List all tables available in the current database.
To use this server with the Claude Desktop app, add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of yourclaude_desktop_config.json:
Option 1: Direct installation from GitHub (Recommended)
{ "mcpServers": { "iceberg-mcp-server": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "--from", "git+https://github.com/cloudera/iceberg-mcp-server@main", "run-server" ], "env": { "IMPALA_HOST": "coordinator-default-impala.example.com", "IMPALA_PORT": "443", "IMPALA_USER": "username", "IMPALA_PASSWORD": "password", "IMPALA_DATABASE": "default" } } } }
Option 2: Local installation (after cloning the repository)
{ "mcpServers": { "iceberg-mcp-server": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/iceberg-mcp-server", "run", "src/iceberg_mcp_server/server.py" ], "env": { "IMPALA_HOST": "coordinator-default-impala.example.com", "IMPALA_PORT": "443", "IMPALA_USER": "username", "IMPALA_PASSWORD": "password", "IMPALA_DATABASE": "default" } } } }
For Option 2, replace/path/towith your path to this repository. Set the environment variables according to your Impala configuration.
The./examplesfolder contains several examples how to integrate this MCP Server with common AI Frameworks like LangChain/LangGraph, OpenAI SDK.
The MCP server's transport protocol is configurable via theMCP_TRANSPORTenvironment variable. Supported values:
- stdio(default)— communicate over standard input/output. Useful for local tools, command-line scripts, and integrations with clients like Claude Desktop.
- http- expose an HTTP server. Useful for web-based deployments, microservices, exposing MCP over a network.
