Databricks MCP connector

Databricks is a unified data and AI platform that provides compute infrastructure, job orchestration, and Unity Catalog governance for data teams. The Databricks MCP connector allows AI agents to manage clusters, cluster policies, and node types, as well as monitor and control job execution across a workspace. It also supports retrieving available runtime versions and workspace configurations, giving agents broad visibility into compute resources and governance settings.

Authentication type

• OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code - Requires a one-time user login to authorize the agent to access the service on their behalf.

Uses

Use the Databricks MCP connector to perform the following actions:

• Launch and monitor Databricks clusters across running, pending, and terminated states
• Schedule and trigger data pipeline jobs without manual intervention
• Enforce cost and security controls through custom cluster policies
• Automate job run tracking, cancellation, and history cleanup
• Standardize cluster environments with instance pools and instance profiles
• Deploy global init scripts to configure clusters at startup
• Audit library installations across every cluster in the workspace
• Select optimal runtime versions and node types for new clusters

Example prompts

Use the following example prompts to invoke Databricks MCP connector tools from your AI assistant or Boomi Connect workflow:

• Show me every cluster running in our Databricks workspace right now.
• Kick off a run of our nightly ETL job in Databricks.
• What jobs failed in Databricks over the last 24 hours?
• Create a new cluster policy in Databricks to cap instance costs.
• List all instance pools available in our Databricks workspace.
• Cancel the job run that's stuck in Databricks.
• What Databricks Runtime versions can I use for a new cluster?
• Show me the global init scripts configured in Databricks.
• Delete the old test job and its history in Databricks.
• Which instance profiles are registered in our Databricks workspace.
